Madrid,
Electricity consumption has increased in European countries due to a severe heat wave. At the same time, power generation has decreased as European countries have reduced gas imports from Russia due to the war in Ukraine. As a result, there is a risk of blackouts in many European countries. Due to this, those countries are paying serious attention to saving electricity.
In this situation, Spain, one of the European countries, has given a strange advice to the public and private sector employees to stop wearing ‘tie’ to save electricity. Pedro Sánchez says that by not wearing a ‘tie’ people will stay cooler and use the AC less, thereby saving electricity.
