MADRID, 29 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Government will approve this Monday a package of urgent measures for energy efficiency and saving, as announced at a press conference this Friday by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.

Specifically, this package, which will be presented on Monday at the Council of Ministers, has already been debated between the ministries involved, led by the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, "with the private sector and parliamentary groups," Sánchez added.

"Saving energy is everyone's task and it is a priority," said the President of the Government, stressing that reducing the energy bill contributes "to reducing dependence on the aggressor, Putin, and bending the inflation curve."

On the other hand, Sánchez also announced that Spain will take to Brussels next September the proposals to reform the electricity market to decouple the price of gas and a new intervention in the energy market to put a limit on the price of CO2 emissions.

The President of the Government assured that these two measures "will help bend the inflation curve and will help Spain, its companies and industries, but also Europe".

Sánchez recalled that Spain is a "solidarity" country, as was shown at this week's Energy Ministers' meeting in Brussels to address possible limitations on gas consumption for this winter, but stressed that the Government is going to do necessary to "protect families, companies and the path of economic growth on which we are advancing".
