نشر موقع الإذاعة الدنماركية تقريراً حول احتمال قطع التيار الكهربائي هذا الشتاء ما لم يساهم جميع أفراد المجتمع بتوفير الطاقة كالكهرباء والغاز (انظر أهم النصائح في الأسفل)، ووفقاً للتقرير فالنبأ السيئ هو أنه قد يكون من الضروري فصل التيار الكهربائي لفترة وجيزة في الشتاء إذا كان الجو شديد البرودة، أما النبأ السار فهو أنه يمكننا جميعاً -أفراداً وشركات- أن نفعل شيئاً حيال ذلك، لأنه إذا تم التحكم باستخدام الطاقة بشكل جيد، فهناك فرص أفضل في أن يمر فصل الشتاء في الدنمارك دون مشاكل، وسيترتب على ذلك أيضاً أن التكلفة ستكون أرخص للجميع، وذلك بحسب الرسالة التي وجهتها السلطات المسؤولة عن تأمين إمدادات الطاقة في الدنمارك، حيث قال كريستوفر بوتزاو مدير وكالة الطاقة الدنماركية بوضوح: “أفضل شيء يمكننا القيام به هو توفير الطاقة. وفر في الكهرباء ووفر في الغاز، إذا تمكنا من خفض استهلاك الطاقة الدنماركية بنسبة 5 – 10%، فنحن في وضع أفضل بكثير، واحتمال انقطاع التيار هو أيضاً أقل بكثير”.
Electricity consumption in private homes fell by about 10% during the first eight months of the year, and savings were nearly double that for gas.
Here are the top seven tips for conserving energy and how to do it:
Lower the heating temperature
Home heating is one of the most significant energy consumption factors.
You can easily reduce a large part of your consumption if you wear a wool sweater and warm loungewear and turn off the heating. As a general rule, you use 5% less energy for every degree you reduce the temperature.. This can be useful when no one is home. And if you draw the curtains when it's dark, you also help to slow down heat consumption.
However, it is important to maintain a temperature of at least 18 degrees in the home to avoid humidity and the damage it causes, as the Danish Energy Agency points out.
It is also a good idea to keep the doors closed and the thermostats set the same in all rooms, so that the heating system does not run for extra hours.
Shorter shower time
Hot water is also one of the factors that makes consumption - and the bill - decrease quickly. You pay for the water and the energy needed to heat it, and there are many good savings opportunities. You can buy a water limiter and put it in the tap, or install the device that mixes air into the water and thus reduces consumption, but the biggest impact is achieved by reducing shower time.
According to the Danish Energy Agency, There is approximately 5,000 kroner that can be saved annually for a family that manages to shower five times a week for ten minutes.
Use electricity when it's cheap
If your electricity subscription has a variable rate, you've probably already discovered that you can save money by adjusting your consumption. Electricity is typically more expensive when you wake up in the morning and in the evening when you're cooking and watching TV, but you can track electricity prices on the SparEnergi.dk website and through various apps.
But even with a fixed price agreement, it makes sense to operate electrical appliances during times of cheap electricity.
Avoid wasting energy without useful use
The worst kind of consumption is when you get nothing out of it. Many electronic devices burn energy even when not in use, for example televisions, gaming consoles, computers, monitors, and chargers, whether at home or at work. Which can reach between 10 and 15% of electricity consumptionAccording to the Videncentret Bolius scientific center.
Saving energy in the washing machine
As a first step, you can save energy by filling the machine with more clothes, and at the same time you can also greatly reduce your consumption by washing at a lower temperature.
For example, If you reduce the temperature by half, i.e., to 20 degrees instead of 40 degrees, you save more than half of your electricity consumption.It is also best to do this at times when electricity is cheaper.
Therefore, it is preferable to hang clothes to dry rather than using a dryer, which consumes a lot of energy.
Choosing energy-efficient electrical appliances
When you have to replace your refrigerator or oven, it is often worthwhile to buy more energy-efficient appliances. يستخدم الجهاز الذي يحمل ملصق الطاقة “A +++” ما يقرب من 25% أقل من الجهاز الذي يحمل الملصق “A” The savings are much greater compared to lower-grade devices.
Ensuring good insulation in homes
It may be a good idea to make sure your home has good insulation. For example, windows can cause heat leakage, which results in faster heat consumption.
