"Four months" means the winter, right? So, it must have helped with "lowering winter consumption".

Fair point about moving to the US, though.

Highest gas prices were in August, not winter.

That's correct, but the TFA is about how Europe cut energy consumption this winter.

I think the reason is twofold:

1. Industries can probably not afford to cut production immediately

2. At least in France, there were worries about gas availability for the winter. The government tried to have industries lower their consumption to not run out of the reserves during the winter.
