German gas price brake won't bring back pre-war prices

Germany's gas price brake will cover only 80% of normal household usage to encourage consumers to save energy and stave off a potential shortage, Qazet.az reports according  Economy Minister Robert Habeck.

"For the upper 20% of normal consumption, you will certainly have to pay the full bill" and even the cost for the portion covered by the brake will not be near the levels seen before the war in Ukraine, Habeck told Deutschlandfunk radio.
