Anyone who saves energy in the household helps on the German path to self-sufficiency. This is how easy it is for you to save energy.
How much can saving energy at home contribute to Germany’s energy independence?
“Every kilowatt hour of energy saved helps,” says Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck. Households consume the most energy in relative terms, almost 29 percent of the total amount. Therefore, there is a huge savings potential, also for the wallet. According to the federal government, small changes in behavior can save 250 euros and more a year. The consumer center even considers it possible to reduce electricity costs by 50 percent.
