A social movement of Enedis agents interventions from the manager of the Electricity Distribution Network in Paris, in recent days in recent days due to numerous energy cuts due to bad weather, AFP learned from Union Source on Friday.
Storms, warm climate, “incidents, at this time, we have almost every day,” AFP told Arnaud Baret, delegate of the Union of the CGT Enedis Paris Union.
The most resounding: the power cut, a consequence of the warm climate, which touched the island of the city, in the heart of Paris, and paralyzed in particular the Palace of Justice and the headquarters of the Paris Police, from Monday to Tuesday to Tuesday night.
In any case, the complex nature of failure “would have required several hours to restore” food, said the unionist.
But he added that the social movement forced the company to carry out “internal applications” of strike employees, which led to a recovery of the current on Tuesday night, when in normal times, “it could have been restored at night (Monday night) or Tuesday morning.”

Enedis Paris “knows a significant number of incidents due to the warm climate,” said the AFP management, which “combined with substantial thunderstorms” on Wednesday, “strongly” affected the network.
“A social movement is currently being carried out within one of our four Parisian intervention agencies, it also confirmed that the electricity distributor, specifying that the demands are related to housing assistance devices” established by the company aimed at technicians who guarantee attention. “
Currently, Enedis supports them financially “participating substantially in their housing costs,” said the group, confirming to have the possibility that “in case of social movement, maintain surprising employees”, particularly to carry out operations “that probably guarantee the food of users.”
Management “forced agents to live as close as possible to the place of intervention,” said Baret, who emphasizes “that they can no longer benefit from homes with the marking with a trimmed rental,” while Parisian rentals have increased considerably in recent decades.
On Thursday, the University of Tolbiac (Paris 1) in turn was affected by the cuts and had to cancel and postpone all the exams that would take place on Thursday and Friday morning, before Enels restored the current on Friday around noon.
