While previously the French electricity company EDF believed that it could keep the pace and provide the whole country with electricity during the winter with the help of the French “small steps,” recently at a meeting of the socio-economic council of the company, the committee secretary Philippe Page Le Merur said that without outages this winter will not do, reports Midi Libre.
In addition to the statement that “there will not be enough opportunities for smoothing,” the company stressed that even in the case of “normal in terms of cold” winter blackouts would be inevitable. As the newspaper recalls, EDF had previously assumed this scenario only in the event of a “very cold” winter.
This statement was made against the background of the announcement of the trade unions of the start of the strike, which will affect eight nuclear reactors EDF, in support of the striking oil refineries and oil depots, the newspaper draws attention.
