Măsura inedită. O țară europeană oferă energie gratuită gospodăriilor care își reduc consumul în timpul eclipsei de Soare din 12 august

Energy suppliers and network operators are preparing for the impact of this week's solar eclipse on solar energy production. The partial eclipse on August 12 will affect much of Western Europe, with total eclipse areas in Spain, Portugal, Greenland, and Iceland. As solar energy constitutes about 13% of the EU's electricity production by 2025, this event could disrupt the energy balance. In the UK, a major electricity supplier encourages customers to reduce energy consumption during the eclipse, offering rewards for lower usage. This initiative aims to maintain grid stability and avoid reliance on fossil fuel power plants during peak demand.
