The city of Besançon, in Doubs, will distribute “thermal leggings” to students in precarious situations. This would allow “lowering the heating by 1 to 1.5 degrees”, or “a saving of 20 to 40% on your consumption” For the city, this represents a cost of 10,000 euros.
According to data from the national energy mediator, 18-34 year olds particularly suffer from energy poverty. 8 out of 10 young people turn down their heating to save money.
