"There is no risk of electricity shortage. A summer energy sobriety plan is the continuation of the winter one that allowed us to save 12% of the average gas and electricity consumption, avoid blackouts and reduce CO2 emissions by 2.7% over the year," the minister told French radio. Pannier-Runacher stated that these measures were not temporary and should become a habit. She also urged car drivers to refrain from driving with a speed of over 110 kilometers per hour (68 miles per hour) since it helps to reduce fuel consumption by 20%. In October, the French government launched an energy sobriety plan to face winter. The goal was to reduce France's energy consumption by 10% in two years, and to ensure that the country spends the winter without gas or electricity shortages. The plan's measures also included a call to limit heating to a maximum of 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit) and turn off shop lighting at night, as well as encouragement of remote work.
