Sure, here is the translation of the heading: "Continuous Energy Saving: Behavioral Change During the Energy Crisis Shows Sustainable Impact

Those who reduced their energy consumption at the beginning of the energy crisis in early 2022 still behave predominantly in an energy-efficient manner today. This is the central result of a representative survey conducted by the opinion research institute YouGov on behalf of the comparison portal Check24. The survey results were made available to the German Press Agency dpa on Saturday in advance. The survey revealed that an impressive 72 percent of participants had reduced their consumption at the onset of the energy crisis. A further analysis of this group showed that the majority of these energy-saving consumers have maintained their behavior: 50 percent are still saving to the same extent as during the crisis, and 21 percent have reduced their energy-saving efforts but continue to save nonetheless. Remarkably, 22 percent have even intensified their efforts and now save more energy than at the beginning. Overall, therefore, 93 percent of those who started saving energy during the crisis continue to do so. Only four percent of respondents indicated that they no longer reduce their energy consumption, while three percent did not comment. "Despite the fact that energy prices are currently at a low level again, the majority of Germans continue to save on energy consumption," commented Check24 Managing Director Billy Scheufler. In his view, this indicates that consumers have developed a stronger awareness since the crisis that saving energy is worthwhile in the long term.
