Finland: grocery stores may close to conserve power
Grocery stores in Finland could have to take turns closing for hours at a time to reduce their energy usage this winter, the countryβs grid operator told news outlet YLE on Sunday. With fuel shortages expected, Finnish households will also be told to lower their consumption.
According to the grid operator, Finlandβs roughly 2,800 food stores will need to come to arrangements with each other over who will close and who will stay open if power is rationed in a particular area. This kind of agreement is especially important in rural areas to ensure that all the outlets in one town or village donβt end up shutting at the same time, YLE noted.
