Premier Mario Draghi said Friday that
his government was getting ready for an eventual energy crisis
following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"The government is at work to prepare all the necessary measures
to manage a possible energy crisis in the best of ways," Draghi
said as he reported to parliament on the Russia-Ukraine
conflict.
"We hope these plans are not necessary but we cannot be
unprepared.
"The emergency measures include greater flexibility in gas
consumption, suspensions in the industrial sector,
gas-consumption rules in the thermoelectric sector.
"The government is also working to increase alternative
supplies.
"We intend to increase liquefied natural gas imported from other
routes, such as the USA".
