According to the Guardian reported on August 2, Spain announced new energy -saving measures on Tuesday, requiring air conditioning and heating temperature for public and large commercial buildings. This also makes Spain the latest European countries that reduce energy consumption and depend on natural gas.

This new measure will take effect in 7 days, and the validity period will be effective until November 2023.

At that time, in public buildings, shopping centers, cinemas, theaters, railway stations, and airports, the heating temperature must not be higher than 19 degrees Celsius, and the air conditioning temperature must not be less than 27 degrees Celsius. At the same time, in order not to waste energy, the door of these facilities needs to be closed, and the lights in the store window must be turned off after 10 pm.

Although Spain does not rely on Russia's energy supply as other EU countries, it has agreed to reduce the amount of natural gas usage by 7%-8%.

Spanish Minister of Environment, Torresa Ribella, suggested that public administrative departments and large enterprises can encourage people to work at home to reduce energy loss caused by transportation and office.

The measure was immediately opposed by the right -wing populist in Madrid's right -wing population Isabel Diaz Ayoso. "Madrid will not close." She said, "This will have a sense of insecurity and scares away tourists and consumers. It brings darkness, poverty and sadness, thereby covering up the problem of how much money the government can save. "

Regardless of the position of opposition to the party, Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez's attitude is very firm.

Last month, Sanchez said in a area where the fire was severely attacked: "I think it is clearly explaining something. Climate change will kill people, it also stifles our ecosystem and our biodiversity, it also destroys us as a role as a role as a role as a role. What a society cherishes -our house, our business, our livestock. "

He has said that his government will take emergency energy -saving measures from August 1.

At a press conference in Madrid, Sanchez pointed out that he did not have a tie, and hoped that his minister, public officials and employees of private sector should not fight ties in order to save energy under high temperature weather.

Since this summer, Spain has suffered two heat waves. On July 29, Madrid's temperature reached 36 degrees Celsius, and Sevilla's temperature reached 39 degrees Celsius.
