British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is considering different options for launching an information campaign on Christmas Eve to encourage the British to consume less energy at a time when the government is paying tens of billions of pounds to cap gas and electricity prices.
According to the Financial Times, Sunak said some households could save up to £500 a year by cutting their electricity bills by 15% if they were more careful with electrical appliances.
The government believes that through simple measures, such as turning off boilers and turning off electrical devices during the day, the country can save a lot of electricity.
The Climate Change Committee said that by just advising households to close their curtains at night to keep in heat, the Treasury could save between £7m and £34m.
Other countries, such as France and Germany, have already launched awareness campaigns on energy conservation.
