										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TIRANA, November 8/ATA/ Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, at the same time Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, stated today that the government will not apply the 800 kilowatt energy band during the month of November.</p>
<p>Speaking to reporters, Balluku said that the government will not apply this measure because the citizens have responded to the call of the authorities to save energy.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Albanian government is protecting all family subscribers and small businesses from the impact of stratospheric energy prices. The saving figures of the energy for the month of October are significant and give us the possibility not to apply the 800 kilowatt band even during November, also considering the upcoming rainy weather forecast, as well as a certain drop in the price of the international market of energy&#8221;, she said.</p>
<p>According to Balluku, this challenge can and will be faced only by being united with the truths of this situation.</p>
<p>&#8220;Saving remains fundamental. All the figures show that energy consumption is 7% less&#8221;, stated Balluku./r.e/p.s./</p>
