Belgium to Turn Off Street Lighting for Energy Conservation

Belgium is proposing to turn off street lighting to save energy. This was reported by Говорит Москва. It is noted that this issue will be considered by the authorities of the Wallonia region.

In addition to turning off the lighting on highways outside cities, it is proposed to switch off the lighting of federal buildings and monuments from 7 PM to 6 AM. Moreover, it is planned to lower the temperature in public institutions to 19 degrees Celsius.

The regional leader, Elio Di Rupo, stated that this step is considered one of the measures to reduce the consumption of electricity, which has sharply increased in price, according to Le Soir.
