The measures that the Council of Ministers will approve next Monday within the plan for energy efficiency and savings will also apply to public administration. This was put forward by the Minister of Finance and Public Function, María Jesús Montero, who indicated that they will also be mandatory for the Autonomous Communities and Municipalities, not just for the General State Administration. More specifically, Montero referred to the need to be more efficient in public buildings such as hospitals and health centers or schools. This means that by the time the new rule comes into effect, in addition to shops, transport, hotels, banks or private company offices, in any public building the air conditioning temperature will be limited to 27 degrees and 19 degrees if it is from heating.
In the case of households, all measures become recommendations. But the plan includes the obligation to monitor the boilers and to put up billboards with tips to save energy. There will even be a citizen awareness campaign to save electricity, with specific measures in, for example, the use of electrical appliances or insulation of homes.
“Saving energy is everyone’s job and it’s a priority,” said the government president, Pedro Sánchez, when he announced this package of measures last Friday that aims to reduce energy bills to “dependence on the aggressor, Putin and bend the inflation curve».
In that sense, Montero promised that “there will be no austerity or austerity this fall”, but he did defend that they will promote “a rational use” of energy or “can be stricter so that there is no excessive use” of energy. he pointed out the importance of being “strategically autonomous” in the face of possible blackmail from “those who want to play with austerity”, referring to Russia.
The measures are expected to take effect immediately, but they will need to be validated by the Congress of Deputies within a maximum of 30 days, as it is a decree.
