Breaking records of electric shortage troubles in Europe, many countries encourage the people to change their previous electricity habits

[Global Times Special Reporter in France, Yuchao Global Times, special reporter in Spain, Wang Fang] Extreme weather and Russian and Ukraine conflict have put Europe into a severe crisis. High -rise power demand and limited power generation capacity have increased the price of multi -countries in Europe. At present, European countries have launched an energy -saving plan to encourage residents to change their previous electricity habits.

According to Bloomberg reported on August 2, the extreme high temperature and drought weather facing most parts of Europe are seriously restricting power generation capabilities, pushing the benchmark electricity price to unprecedented levels. Germany's electricity prices have reached 400 euros per MWh time recently, not only repeatedly breaking the historical record, but also not slowing down. In addition, the French "Figaro" stated that the electricity price of the French Power Group's electricity contract per mega also rose by 2.8%to 522 euros.

At the supply side, it is difficult to ensure the level of power generation. The rise of river temperature increases the difficulty of cooling the French nuclear power plant, and seriously restricts the operation level of nuclear power plants. At the same time, due to the decline in the water level of the river in high temperature and drought, Germany could not be transported to the power station along the Rhine coast although coal. Energy market expert Natali said, "Can Europe be guaranteed to protect sufficient fuel supply before the winter coming, and there is a greater risk." The British "Independence" on August 2 "should wear sweaters this winter to save Germany and ourselves ourselves. "The topic of comments was published, saying that Britain's priority was to help Germany and China Europe avoid energy disasters, and at the same time, it can also achieve British strategic self -rescue.

As a result, the European governments are trying to find ways from demand. The French government requires that it is prohibited to maintain billboard lighting at public places outside the railway station and airport at 1 am to 6 hours; Store window lights, minimum fines of 60,000 euros. The Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez also called on the public not to fight the tie and try to "physical heat" as much as possible. Germany, Greece, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and other countries have also implemented measures to save energy saving.

However, some energy -saving campaigns failed to be supported by the public. Taking Spain as an example, the public is dissatisfied with the air -conditioning room temperature in public places at 27 ° C. The minimum room temperature standard is not scientific, and it is acceptable at 25 ° C.
