The government is considering launching a mandatory energy-saving campaign featuring drastic measures amid what appears to be an increasingly bleak energy outlook.
The campaign aims to lower imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG), a major fuel source, which have spiked recently due to a drop in domestic supplies of natural gas, according to the Energy Ministry. That has pushed up electricity bills this year, as the Russia-Ukraine war and higher demand in Europe during the winter continue to heap pressure on LNG prices.
