STORY: NOTE: YOU WILL RECEIVE THIS CONTRIBUTION WITHOUT VOICE TEXT. O-TON OF FEDERAL CHANCELLOR OLAF SCHOLZ: “At the beginning of last week, a commission made up of scientists, employer representatives, trade unions, municipal utilities and energy suppliers made us a clever proposal as to how we can severely limit the price increases for gas and district heating. The proposed measures have one thing in common : They keep energy affordable, have a quick effect and at the same time do not undermine savings incentives. We are now implementing this proposal. By March next year at the latest, all citizens with gas or district heating will receive a discounted basic quota. And to ensure relief earlier, has the Commission recommended that the utilities receive the money for the down payments in December from the state. Companies – small and large – are also given targeted relief. And that’s why we can say today: nobody, no family, no pensioner, no student and no one either Company should be afraid, v being overwhelmed by the prices for electricity, gas or district heating.”
