The supermarket sector in France has agreed on an "energy saving" plan that will be implemented in autumn in France, according to a statement released on Monday. This in a bid to cope with the risk of shortages linked to the war in Ukraine, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
"Faced with the risk of electricity supply shortages announced by the government for this winter", the Perifem federation, which brings together all the players in the retail sector to take action on energy and environmental issues, has defined "common and concrete measures" to reduce the energy consumption of shops, starting on 15 October.
