No energy saving campaign this year

Tuesday, 19 September 2023 10:29

There will be no advertising campaign urging people to save energy this year.

Unlike last year, when the government feared energy shortages during the winter. 

The risk of such a shortage has now receded. 

Switzerland is better prepared than it was in 2022: France's nuclear power plants are running at a higher capacity, reservoir levels in Switzerland are good, and so are gas stocks.

If this situation were to change, or if winter were to prove particularly harsh, energy-saving campaigns could reappear.
