Gas, Europe is preparing for the great cold: from heating to a maximum of 19 degrees to unlit windows: the countermeasures
A rather cold winter is expected. Warm ups at a maximum of 19 degrees during autumn and winter, conditionersin summer not less than 27. Le showcases turned off in the evening after 10pm and the doors of the shops that must remain closed so as not to disperse heat or cold air. Facades of monuments, fountains and public buildings in the dark at night or with low lights. Not only. Also the reduction of the duration of the stay in the shower. Europe is preparing to fight the great cold, with entire energy-intensive production chains at risk of stopping due to the possible detachment of gas supply by Russia.
For now, as a precaution, it is “only” corrective to lifestyle habits. Not only will people’s habits need to be changed, but that may not be enough. It will mainly depend on the evolution of the conflict in Ukraine, with the troops of Moscow that for six months have invaded the former Soviet republic. A dynamic that made the gas price up to 239 euros per megawatt hour per Ttf in Amsterdam, while it cost just over 25 a year ago.
During the week, from 31 August, the new stop to the flow through the Nord Stream pipeline, officially for the maintenance of the compressors which should end on 2 September. Recently, other scheduled maintenance works have gone on much longer than expected, just think of the turbine repaired in Canada in early August that still station in Germany waiting to return to its place. After the agreement reached in Brussels at the beginning of August, which provides for the voluntary 15% reduction in consumption (percentage that varies for individual countries, for Italy the share is 7%) to reduce the dependence on Russian gasnow the time has come for individual national energy saving plans.
