A new analysis report has suggested that a German-style national drive to reduce energy use in the UK could save households up to £400 over 2023.
By turning off lights and lowering heating temperatures, this could save the Treasury £9 billion too, reports the Daily Record. The Social Market Foundation (SMF), a cross-party think-tank, has called on the Government to launch a campaign informing people about practical tips to reduce household energy demand.
In Germany, a national energy-saving campaign has seen lights turned off in some public buildings, heating turned down and households encouraged to minimise energy use.
