Brussels: Europe and the Arabs
The repercussions of the energy crisis will not stop when prices are high or there is a shortage of gas or oil supplies, but the effects may go beyond all of this to reach other matters that constitute an essential element in daily life and it is related to mobile phone networks
Euronews reported on its website that, according to informed sources, Europe is likely to stop working mobile phones in the coming winter, as a result of reducing electrical energy consumption on parts of mobile phone networks across the region.

Mobile operators are currently cooperating with their governments to ensure that they have a plan in place to ensure critical services are provided. According to the existing information, a number of companies are cooperating with mobile operators to mitigate the impact of the potential power shortage on them.

The agency noted that in European countries "used to not have electricity cuts for decades", there are not enough backup systems that would help to cope with extensive blackouts.

“It is possible that we are somewhat spoiled in large parts of Europe, where the electricity supply is stable ... It is possible that the investment in energy storage has been less than it is,” the network quoted the president of the French Association of Mobile Operators, Pisa Pelolo, as saying. in some other countries. She also expressed her belief that Paris would not be able to supply all the country's antennas with new batteries.

And European industries have reduced the use of gas intensively, reaching 30%, compared to last year, as a result of the energy crisis that the old continent suffers from due to the Russia-Ukraine war and the cessation of Russian supplies to Europe in response to the sanctions imposed on it, which led to a sharp rise in prices.

"Reducing gas consumption is good news for savings, but also bad news for European industry," said Jean-Pierre Clamdieu, head of a French company.

He pointed out that the reason is that some companies are paralyzing their activity at the present time because the current energy prices cannot make it profitable, while others transfer it to other parts of the world.

Clamdieu specified that the reduction in consumption by industrialists is not the same everywhere, because while in France it is about 15%, in Germany it is 25% and in the Netherlands about 40%.
