Hungary turns off night lighting of landmarks
Due to the energy crisis, Hungary is halting the night lighting of landmarks to conserve electricity.
In Hungary, the night lighting of landmarks is being switched off due to the ongoing energy crisis. This measure creates an unusual sight for locals and tourists who were accustomed to the illuminated backdrop.
The reason for this decision is a shortage of cooling water for the Paks nuclear power plant, caused by the ongoing heatwave. With this, the government aims to contribute to electricity savings.
