„Lecții” de la Ceaușescu pentru reducerea consumului de energie electrică. Cum a fost impusă cea mai dură economie la curent din perioada comunistă • Social Biz Brasov

In February 1987, Nicolae Ceaușescu issued a decree to drastically reduce energy consumption in Romania due to winter shortages. The decree aimed to cut electricity use by 20% in households and 30% in non-productive sectors. Citizens were required to adhere to strict quotas, with penalties for exceeding limits, including increased tariffs and potential gas supply interruptions. The measures were intended to ensure the normal functioning of the economy and promote energy conservation.
