Rationing plans According to the European rationing plan, Italy will have to save about 7% of the gas it has consumed on average in the last five years. The government is currently working on a plan to save energy and cut gas and electricity consumption, which should be ready by August 31, when the Nord Stream will become inactive. The first part of the plan was announced in July, and foresees the maximum temperature in the buildings at 19 degrees and one hour less per day of heating. Now a second part is being worked on which provides for stricter savings to be implemented as soon as possible, so much so that in the end it will be the government led by Mario Draghi to launch the measures, after he himself had said that to implement the second part of the plan would have been the government that will take office following the elections on 25 September.
Several other countries have already presented some of their own measures. France, for example, will ban light-filled announcements at night by the end of the summer. In Germany, however, historical monuments will be turned off in the evening and heating will be limited to 19 degrees.
