Switzerland is saving energy

The Swiss government has set a goal of reducing natural gas consumption by 15 percent during the winter season in order to prevent the possible negative effects of the energy crisis. The government announced that a voluntary savings campaign was launched between October 2022 and March 2023 to reduce natural gas demand and consumption across the country. It was noted that within this scope, it is aimed to save 15 percent of natural gas consumption by the end of the winter season next year. It was emphasized that reducing the heat setting on heaters such as central heating and combi boilers by one step can provide savings of 5 to 6 percent, and that this rate can increase to 20 percent if the dual-fuel system in apartments and office buildings is optionally converted from natural gas to liquid fuel. It was stated that the details of the savings campaign will be shared in September.
