Germany mulling programme to boost energy efficiency

The German government is considering launching a plan worth billions of euros to boost energy efficiency and cut the use of oil, electricity and gas, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

According to the plan, the government would increase the amount set aside to modernise older buildings to 3.5 billion euros ($4.7 billion), the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported, citing documents prepared for a meeting between government coalition officials and the energy industry on Tuesday.
