Germany is turning off hot water and heating because of the gas crisis

The country is entering a gas and electricity conservation regime: residents are limited to the supply of hot water and are preparing to lower the heating temperature.

Germany is limiting hot water supply hours and heating temperatures due to the sharp reduction in Russia’s gas supplies. The country also needs to reduce electricity consumption, according to the Financial Times.

The country’s Economy Minister Robert Gabek had earlier called on the population to conserve energy, which was listened to by municipalities and property owners.

On Thursday, Germany’s largest landlord, Vonovia, said it would lower its tenants ’central heating temperature to 17 degrees between 11 pm and 6 am, saving 8% on heating costs.

This week, a housing association in the Saxon town of Dippoldiswalde, near the Czech border, said it was beginning to limit the supply of hot water to residents. Now they can only take hot showers from 4-8 am to 11-1 pm.

It has been noticed that such events may become routine in the coming weeks. Helmut Dedy, head of the German Cities Association, said that “the whole society” should now cut down on energy consumption-save it in the summer to have “warm apartments in the winter”.

He appealed to the country’s city councils with a request to take emergency measures: turn off traffic lights at night, cut off hot water in municipal houses, museums and sports centers, fix air conditioner and stop lighting in historic buildings.

Recall that Gazprom reduced gas exports by almost a third. In five and a half months, Russia has exported less than 65 billion cubic meters of gas.

The other day, Germany asked Canada to return the sanctioned Nord Stream turbine, which was a formal reason for the Kremlin to stop gas supplies to Germany. Canada agreed.
