Elisabeth Borne, accompanied by nine ministers, will present the measures of the energy sobriety plan this Thursday afternoon. The Prime Minister wants to launch a call for general mobilization, and should record in her speech a change of era, that of abundant energy.
The government will present this Thursday afternoon its energy sobriety plan to get through the winter. Around Elisabeth Borne, who will detail the measures taken, nine other ministers are present at the Porte de Versailles in Paris. Beyond the measures supposed to prevent us from power cuts, the Prime Minister should record a change of era: abundant and cheap energy, it’s over.
The Prime Minister wants to launch a call for general mobilization
In his own words in the presentation file for this plan, “our continent, our country, is at a tipping point”. So Elisabeth Borne wants to set the course this Thursday afternoon and call for the mobilization of all. States, companies, households, “every gesture counts” is about to hammer the Matignon tenant. Exactly the same slogan as during the coronavirus crisis.
Reduce our energy consumption by 10% by 2024
No more than 19 degrees will be the new rule for heating settings in public buildings. When civil servants will have to reduce their highway speed from 130 to 110 kilometers per hour for a 20% fuel saving on non-urgent journeys. Companies are asked to turn off their interior lights as soon as their buildings are no longer occupied.
Objective: to enable our country to reduce its energy consumption by 10% by 2024. “Reducing our consumption means reducing our dependence on Russia”, judge Elisabeth Borne.
But this sobriety plan also has virtues from an economic point of view in the eyes of the Prime Minister. “It is also a plan for purchasing power”, insofar as it should allow, according to her, to reduce the bills of the French.
