Just for 7 months, the energy crisis caused the German new ruling alliance to face division

"We can take a bath less without air conditioning, but to avoid the energy crisis after stopping the natural gas in Russia, we still need to concentrate their strengths to find an alternative." In the face of a series of reactions from Russia's suspension of natural gas to Germany and the German federal government, Berlin teacher Benjamin said in an interview with Red Star News.

Since the Russian crisis, how to get rid of Russia's natural gas imports has become one of the first challenges in the German government. On July 11, Russia announced that the "Beixi No. 1" gas transmission pipeline operation was suspended for 10 days due to the maintenance of parts. Essence

Although 10 days later, Russia resumed natural gas supply as scheduled, but the risk of being confused or reducing supply at any time still existed. On the 21st, the German government announced an emergency energy -saving plan requiring a series of measures to reduce energy consumption at the industry and residential levels to ensure that the national natural gas reserve reached the expected level before the winter arrived.

However, in terms of "open source", the internal differences of the German ruling alliance are increasingly disclosed. What kind of replacement energy is used to make up for the supply gap after stopping the supply of natural gas from Russia.

Germany intends to implement mandatory room temperature adjustment inspections

Robert Habeck, Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate Operations of the German Federal Government, recently issued a video statement requesting to jointly implement a measure called "Energy Security" in government buildings, office spaces and residents, including limited office facilities and public facilities in public facilities The power adjustment room temperature, and believed that the corridor lobby and other places were not needed, and also called on employers and employees to negotiate to allow them to work at home.

In order to promote energy -saving policies, the federal government also intends to implement the regulation of compulsory room temperature regulation and suspend the implementation of a law -tenants need to maintain the minimum temperature in the rental house. Essence

In April of this year, Habeck called on the public to reduce the time of bathing to save energy and control it at 3 to 5 minutes. It also suggested that the minimum indoor temperature at 19 degrees. The main purpose of implementing the "energy security" measure this time is that before Russia cut off the supply of natural gas to Germany, the German natural gas reserve reaches a higher level, because "the next two winter will become difficulty". According to the German government plan, natural gas reserves need to reach 75%by September 1 and 95%before November 1. This number is currently only 65%.

For a package of federal government, Benjamin believes that the intention can be understood, but he questioned the difficulty and the final results. He believes that in fact, German residents and office spaces have always paid attention to energy saving and power saving, and the use of electrical adjustment room temperature is very limited. Since the epidemic, many people have started to work at home, and it seems that it has not saved enough power consumption. Moreover, if it is not effective, these measures can only be slogans. He hopes that the federal government can focus on energy conservation at the same time, focusing on searching for alternative energy supply, in order to ensure national energy security and economic life in the medium and long term.

Follow the wind and crane

The reason why the German federal government uses natural gas reserves and energy conservation as the current top priority is also driven by Russia's air -breaking air. On July 11, due to the annual repair of "Beixi No. 1" natural gas transportation pipeline, Russia suspended natural gas to Germany for 10 days through this pipeline.

According to media reports, at that time, the German Siemens company sent a turbine of the pipeline to Canada for repairs. Due to Western sanctions, Canada once refused to return to this device. In the end, Germany reached an agreement with Canada to return to the turbine and return it to Russia. On July 21, when Europe was nervous and watched, Russia also restored the "Beixi No. 1" natural gas transportation as scheduled, but it only returned to the level of load rate before the gas -40%.

Nevertheless, the German federal government still has no relief, because Russia has said that the possibility of gas transmission is limited to 20%, and it may be cut off at any time. "Beixi No. 1" is the main channel for Russia to transport natural gas to Germany, and the annual conveying volume is about 55 billion cubic meters. Since June, the daily conversion has dropped to 60%before.

Not only did Germany ring the alarm, the European Commission also urged member countries to take action immediately, using energy replacement energy to replace natural gas, encouraging the industry to reduce consumption, and help consumers save energy. From now on March 1 next year, the consumption of natural gas will be reduced by 15%. "Energy storage this summer is for winter." EU Chairman Feng Delin appealed that he must plan ahead to prepare for the possible stop supply.

Coal Electric VS Nuclear Power Governance Alliance is seriously different

At a critical juncture, for the energy and safety issues that need to be solved, the German federal government's "traffic light" ruling alliance has serious differences, so that the vice chairman of the German House of German House and the Liberal Democratic Party (FDP) Wolfgang Kobich is in the mainstream mainstream The media published a comment article and publicly stated that the energy policy of the Minister of Economy Habeck was unable to understand the energy policy of the Minister of Economy: the coal that destroyed the climate can continue to be used, but the cleaning nuclear energy is not good?

In his opinion, Germany is currently undergoing difficulties in energy policy, economic and social aspects, and the federal government may face one of the biggest challenges since 1949. He believes that the country's primary task is to do everything possible to ensure reliable energy supply. Only when there are no other solutions, can the public be required to bear the obligations of energy saving, "but Germany still has great potential." He advocates that the government must rationally combine various energy policies to ensure that the electricity and calories of this winter and after the winter and after the winter and the calories are extensively ensured that the electricity and calories of this winter and after the winter and the heat this winter and the calories will be widely ensured. supply. Earlier, the Ministry of Economic Affairs stated that after December 31, it was impossible to use nuclear energy to make up for the power supply gap. Because people were not enough, there were no corresponding licenses, and other raw materials were lacking, so there was a great risk.

The differences between party factions around this problem are becoming more and more open. German Prime Minister Tsurtz issued a signal last weekend, and may consider extending the only 3 surviving nuclear power plants in Germany. At present, the government will evaluate energy infrastructure, and whether it can reach unified opinions on this issue in the future, depending on the test results, it depends on whether the party can make compromises and reach a consensus.
