According to the published proposals, EU states should aim to implement measures to reduce overall electricity consumption by at least 10% by March 31, 2023.
At the same time, it is proposed to reduce consumption by 5% during the hours of the "peak cost" of electricity.
Such measures will help to reduce gas consumption by about 1.2 billion cubic meters of gas in four months.
Journalist Lionel Loren, in an article for Bloomberg, said earlier that the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, should "clearly and clearly" warn Europeans about the difficulties of the coming winter.
