Mueller emphasized: "We must discuss the reserves more seriously." In addition, he also called on all owners to check and maintain the heating equipment of the house: "Maintenance can reduce gas consumption by 10%to 15%. We must start this now. The work is not waiting for autumn. "But he also pointed out that Germany did not face the shortage of power, and the supply of petroleum and gasoline was also sufficient-" We need to focus on natural gas. "

Earlier, Habeck, Vice Premier and Minister of Economic and Climate Protection, had made it clear that German summer gas supply can be guaranteed, but it will face big problems in winter. In order to prevent the negative impact of natural gas shortage, the German government has suggested that related companies buy emergency generators, especially key infrastructure operators. Some German companies have announced that they will re -introduce the family office model to save office energy consumption.

According to the Minister of Environment of Hamburg, Germany, Corstan, it is not ruled out that the possibility of restricting the supply of hot water in private families in emergency situations: "In the emergency of severe natural gas shortages, heat water can only be provided in a specific time period of the day. "Temporary liquefied natural gas receiving terminals built in Hamburg Port may not be put into use until May next year.

At the same time, the German government has "proposed" the cost of rising natural gas operators by all consumers, while consumer protection groups require the upper limit of the price of natural gas purchase.

Habeck suggested to shorten the shower time to save energy. According to the calculation of the consumer center, almost two -thirds of the Germans shower at least once a day, with an average shower time of 8 to 12 minutes, and about 20%of heating energy for hot water. The person in charge of the energy efficiency group Raki said that the cost of the shower each year in Germany is about 100 euros: "If we shorten the time of the shower, it will reduce energy consumption accordingly, such as 5 minutes instead of 7 minutes of shower, which can reduce about 30 about 30 30 %Energy consumption.
