To help households following the exceptional increase in electricity prices
Created on
On 4 January 2023, the Minister for Energy, Claude Turmes, presented the new measures to help households in the context of rising energy prices, and gave an overview of the efforts made to reduce energy consumption in Luxembourg.
"In 2023, the government will continue to do its utmost to reduce the impact of the energy crisis on households, while accelerating and facilitating the energy transition in order to increase our resilience to future crises and to achieve our climate objectives", says Claude Turmes, Minister for Energy.
In December, the reduction in natural gas consumption corresponded to about 18% compared to the reference period of the years 2017 to 2022, thus still well above the EU Member States'' reduction target of 15% of natural gas demand.
"Despite a very cold December, the latest figures have once again shown that all actors, the state, the municipalities, the companies and the citizens, have consistently saved gas. I would like to thank everyone for their efforts to save energy", says Claude Turmes, and adds: "Even if we are on the right track, caution is still required: if temperatures are very low in the coming months, heating-related gas consumption could still increase significantly".
As for electricity consumption, it has been steadily decreasing since June 2022. In December, the decrease was -8.56% compared to the reference period of 2017 to 2022.
