"The best energy is that which we do not consume. We must address the energy demand together by reducing consumption so that we have more leeway," the bosses of the three utilities said in a joint article for Le Journal du Dimanche weekly.They warned that overcoming shortfalls of Russian gas supplies and a surge in energy prices was a major challenge for France's "social and political cohesion."More action should be taken at the European level, the executives continued. They suggested that the EU mobilize all its resources to balance out energy consumption within interdependent EU markets and improve cohesion in central and eastern Europe.

French Energy Giants Ask People to Cut Down on Electricity, Gas Ahead of Winter
11:06 GMT 26.06.2022 (Updated: 19:28 GMT 03.11.2022) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - French energy companies Engie, EDF and TotalEnergies urged industries and households on Sunday to start saving electricity, natural gas and petroleum products ahead of winter as the energy crisis continues to loom large over Europe.
"The best energy is that which we do not consume. We must address the energy demand together by reducing consumption so that we have more leeway," the bosses of the three utilities said in a joint article for Le Journal du Dimanche weekly.
They warned that overcoming shortfalls of Russian gas supplies and a surge in energy prices was a major challenge for France's "social and political cohesion."
"By taking action this summer we will be better prepared for winter and notably preserve gas reserves. This is no mistake: saving up energy means increasing the purchase power while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions," they argued.
More action should be taken at the European level, the executives continued. They suggested that the EU mobilize all its resources to balance out energy consumption within interdependent EU markets and improve cohesion in central and eastern Europe.
