Driving and air conditioning: What's in Italy's energy-saving emergency plan?
"Defence minister Guido Crosetto stated there was a 'real risk' that 'not everything, but a lot' could grind to a halt within a month if the Strait of Hormuz remained blocked beyond this month."
"The government is reportedly drawing up a contingency plan that includes limiting air conditioning use, restricting car use to alternate days, and enforcing mandatory remote work for public sector staff."
"Offices and public buildings could face mandatory temperature limits, with air conditioning set no lower than 27-28 degrees in summer and heating no higher than 19 degrees in winter."
"Italy has used a system restricting car use on alternate days based on whether a number plate ends in an odd or even number during previous energy crises."
Italy is preparing nationwide emergency measures to address potential energy shortages due to ongoing fuel supply disruptions from the Middle East. The government is considering a contingency plan that includes limiting air conditioning and heating in public buildings, restricting car use to alternate days, and enforcing mandatory remote work for public sector employees. Defence Minister Guido Crosetto warned of a significant risk of operational disruptions if the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. The measures are based on recommendations from the International Energy Agency.
