The gas shortage is also putting municipalities and energy suppliers under pressure to save. Several cities and their municipal utilities in the region around Karlsruhe have joined forces to pool all the necessary strength and expertise. It shouldn’t stay that way.
Karlsruhe (dpa/lsw) – Seven cities in northern and central Baden are joining forces to reduce consumption by 20 percent in view of the impending energy bottleneck in winter. The goal is to get the public on board. The municipal utilities with their expertise such as consulting services on energy efficiency or the use of alternative energies should do their part. Several mayors want to present what the whole thing should look like on Wednesday (11:00 a.m.) in Karlsruhe. Karlsruhe, Baden-Baden, Rastatt, Ettlingen, Rheinstetten, Bruchsal and Bretten are participating in the project.
