On Thursday, the Ministry of Energy published a report on the efforts by municipalities, tradespeople and commercial activities in reducing gas consumption.
Overall, Luxembourg achieved a 26% reduction in gas - significantly more than the 15% reduction the EU demanded from member states between 1 August 2022 and 31 March 2023.
The same demand will apply to the 2023-2024 winter months, although Luxembourg has a good starting position due to the diligent savings over the past few months, said Minister of Energy Claude Turmes.
Even peak times for electricity consumption were reduced by more than 6% between December 2022 and March 2023. The EU had demanded a 5% reduction.
