Gas consumption in Hamm is increasing: Stadtwerke warn of new austerity measures!

Hamm, Deutschland - The gas consumption in Hamm has increased again! Stadtwerke reports that households and small businesses used 13 percent more gas last year than in the crisis year 2022. Despite this increase, the consumption remains about 15 percent below the level of 2021 - before the UkraineKlieg. While it looked in the spring that the population would continue to save gas, the current figures show that many apparently thrown the savings idea overboard when heating.

The municipal utilities appeal to the citizens to handle electricity and gas even now, as the prices remain high. "If you lower your room temperature by one degree, you reduce your gas consumption by six percent," emphasizes company spokeswoman Cornelia Helm. In addition, the heating in the town hall has officially been in operation since October 1, but actual activities only take place in longer cold periods. For the winter of 2023/24, the consumption figures are only expected in spring 2025, but the city administration assumes that consumption could be lower due to better heating habits and home office options than before the Ukraine secretary.
