The Danish Minister of Energy, Lars Aagaard, is asking citizens to reduce energy consumption to cope with the energy crisis caused by international conflicts.

The Danish Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities, Lars Aagaard, has called on citizens to reduce energy consumption in the context of rising oil prices caused by the conflict between the United States and Iran. Aagaard emphasized that cutting back on non-essential travel, such as using cars, can help households feel less of the impact of rising energy costs and extend the duration of national oil reserves.

This request comes against the backdrop of similar measures adopted in other countries, such as the United Kingdom and states in Asia, which encourage energy saving. The price of oil recently surpassed 100 dollars a barrel, and international agencies, such as the International Energy Agency, have announced the release of volumes from strategic reserves to stabilize the market.
