Italy divided into six zones to save more than 3 billion cubic meters of gas from the end of September

Italy divided into six zones to save more than 3 billion cubic meters of gas from the end of September

While all Italians are being urged to save more energy in the face of this winter; Those who live in the coldest regions will have longer heating times than those living in more moderate temperatures beyond the Alps. Under this formula, the prime minister’s government Mario Draghi, currently in office, has already prepared a new energy saving plan, which will begin this fall; which provides for the division of Italy into 6 climatic zones according to the average daily temperature and thus saving 3200 m3 of gas in the coming months. All this in the context of the fact that at the beginning of September this month, Italy had 83% gas reserves.

The Italian energy saving plan pays special attention to the “possible interruption of gas supplies from Russia” and will be applied at the end of September this month, based on a special decree of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Robert Chingolani. According to the Italian media, citing official sources in the Italian executive branch, they could save 5.3 billion cubic meters gas, reducing heating and getting electricity from other alternative energy sources.

Particular attention is paid to the plan “possible cessation of gas supplies from Russia.”
