After the commitment of food distribution, it is up to specialized distribution to bet on the “energy sobriety approach”. In a communiqué, the members of France Commerce – Boulanger, Electro Dépôt, Brico Dépôt, Castorama, Décathlon, Fnac Darty, Ikea and Leroy Merlin – ont annoncé rejoindre la protocole établi par Perifem, que reunit une grande partie des acteurs de la distribution en France.
This protocol proposes a series of measures to limit energy consumption. Among them, the fact of turning off the illuminated signs as soon as the store closes, reducing the light intensity the rest of the time, lowering the room temperature or even cutting off air renewal at night.
“This protocol thus incorporates daily measures put in place as of October 15, to which emergency measures can be added, which will be activated if necessary and as soon as the occurrence of a critical peak is known, known to some days before and defined by the regulator. authority,” the statement said.
“Responsible consumption”
On Monday, Leclerc’s boss warned on FranceInfo that the brand’s stores could be “closed during certain time slots” in the event of a power spike this winter. “We are not going to have courage, we are fighting for our country,” said Michel-Edouard Leclerc.
