Check 24 managing director Steffen Suttner told local media that the surge in gas prices made German households "extremely economical." An average energy consumption per household in Germany has decreased by 4,000 kilowatt-hours to about 15,400 kilowatt-hours from 2021, the report said. Earlier in April, the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action released a draft law on energy efficiency, providing for decreasing energy consumption by 26.5% by 2030 compared to 2008. Since 2021, energy and food prices in Europe have been surging as part of a global trend, in large part due to the COVID-19 restrictive measures. After the beginning of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022, the West increased sanctions pressure on Moscow. Disruption of supply chains has led to higher fuel and food prices in Europe.
