“Power consumption in Bavaria on the rise”

Bayerische Staatszeitung

Electricity consumption in Bavaria has increased by 30 percent over the last 10 years, the Bayerische Staatszeitung reports, referring to data from the Bavarian statistical bureau and Verband der Bayerischen Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft VBEW.

The demand will increase further once even more devices like cars and heat pumps are operated with electricity.
