This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 79%. (I'm a bot)

> The drop was recorded in the first half of December for public lighting, which represents 40 per cent of many communities' annual electricity consumption, according to Enedis, the operator of France's electricity distribution network.

> With 11 million lighting points across the country, public lighting has a power demand equal to the power from one nuclear reactor, according to Enedis.

> There have been efforts to reduce public lighting use by turning off lights earlier in the evening, a measure that has been often employed in smaller towns and cities.

Bad Bot. You left out the meat of the article:

Spain will scrap the value-added tax on basic food items for six months as part of a series of new measures to help people to cope with the rising cost of living.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that the VAT would be reduced from 4 per cent to 0 per cent on basic food items, such as bread, cheese and vegetables, while it will be reduced from 10 per cent to 5 per cent on oil and pasta.
The government also approved a one-off aid of €200 for families with incomes of €27,000 or less to compensate for the increase in food prices.
The new anti-crisis aid package is worth €10 billion, bringing the government's expenditures on aid measures to €45 billion.
Since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine in February, the Spanish government has announced multiple aid packages to help the poorest households cope with inflation, which has soared across Europe.
