The measure is part of the 'Save Gas for a Safe Winter' plan presented in Brussels and aimed at ensuring uninterrupted supply to households and essential users such as hospitals and key industries. The reductions in gas use are to remain in force until March 31, 2023.
Member states will be asked to switch to renewable energy, or even coal, oil or nuclear power to achieve the target.
