French Authorities Claim They Have Enough Energy Resources for the Coming Winter

The increase in renewable energy sources in France will help to survive the coming winter, said the country’s Minister of Environmental Transformation, Christophe Bechoux, local media reported.

According to him, under the condition of a thrifty attitude to energy on the part of every resident of France, the state will have enough energy resources for the winter.

However, “everyone should be careful and economical” and not waste energy in vain, Beshu emphasized.

He added that the citizens of the country should not think that the measures taken by the government are useless.

“We will have a draft law from September that will allow us to intensify the use of renewable energy sources in our country,” he said.

“We have everything we need for this winter,” the minister concluded.

Recent measures to save electricity consumption in France include a ban on illuminated advertising and air ventilation at night, a requirement to reduce lighting in retail outlets by 30%, and keeping doors closed when air conditioners or heating axare turned on.
