We spoke with people in the city about a topic that’s currently capturing attention.
“The season is transitioning from early summer to full summer. As temperatures rise, concerns about the cost of electricity, such as air conditioning, increase. The government is also introducing subsidies, but we would like to hear about your energy-saving strategies.”
“Summer means lower electricity rates… What are your energy-saving techniques?”
(Resident of Sapporo) “It seems to be getting hotter year by year, so I feel like I have to use the air conditioner, and I look for cool places to go outside, like commercial facilities.”
(Resident of Sapporo) “For saving energy, things like not opening the fridge too often or for too long to keep the cold air in might seem trivial, but I make an effort to do that.”
(Resident of Sapporo) “I do feel that the cost of electricity is rising.”
(Resident of Sapporo) “It’s about 5000 yen per month. I try to turn off the main power and unplug appliances that are not in use.”
