Minister Ribera points out that the reopening of coal-fired power plants is “not easy” and that it would not be economically efficient because its price is almost higher than that of gas on the international markets
Some establishments will be able to set the air conditioning to a temperature lower than the temperature indicated in the Royal Decree on energy-saving and efficiency measures, approved by the government last Monday. Specifically, the minister for the ecological transition, Teresa Ribera, indicated in a radio interview that it may be limited to “around 25 degrees” to ensure compliance with labor legislation.
So while the approved regulations impose a minimum temperature of 27 degrees, it will be applied “flexibly” in those businesses where employees are constantly on the move, such as restaurants, nightclubs, kitchens or gyms. “You cannot ask employees who are under strenuous physical exertion that they do not have the conditions guaranteed by labor law with regard to maximum and minimum temperatures,” said the minister, citing the example that the same temperature in a nightclub as in a bookstore.
