Marea Britanie oferă o oră de energie gratuită gospodăriilor care își reduc consumul în timpul eclipsei de Soare din 12 august

Energy providers in Europe are preparing for the impact of a solar eclipse on solar energy production. The eclipse on August 12 will partially cover the sun across much of Western Europe, with total coverage in parts of Spain, Portugal, Greenland, and Iceland. This event could disrupt the electricity supply as solar energy accounts for about 13% of the EU's electricity production. In the UK, a major energy supplier is encouraging customers to reduce their electricity consumption during the eclipse, offering rewards for those who participate. This initiative aims to maintain the balance of energy production and consumption, preventing reliance on fossil fuel power plants during peak demand.
