“Homes, companies, administrations”… Everyone will have to make an effort to reduce energy consumption this winter. Invited to Franceinter, this Monday, the Economy Minister, Bruno Le Maire, recalled the importance of a collective mobilization to eliminate the risk of organized temporary power cuts.
A position shared by the Minister of Public Accounts Gabriel Attal.
EDF late in the restart of the reactors
“Now we have to prepare for all scenarios,” he stressed in reference to the crisis plan presented by the Government to deal with possible load cuts this winter.
In addition to this collective mobilization to reduce electricity consumption, the executive is of course counting on the acceleration of EDF for the recovery of the reactors. “We have asked EDF to do everything necessary to get the nuclear reactors running at full power early next year,” Gabriel Attal said.
Of the park’s 56 reactors, 20 were still closed Monday. The RTE network manager estimates that EDF will not be able to restart the ten reactors scheduled for December, but 5 or 6. As for the month of January, it should continue to be tense, with fifteen reactors still stopped.
