An important test will take place this Friday. This is the day chosen by Enedis and RTE to carry out drills in their respective facilities in anticipation of load cuts that could occur during the winter period, which is already imminent. The power company and the administrator of the electricity transmission network involve the prefectures in this gigantic tabletop exercise.
The manager was not in a position to give specific information about the course of this test, but its specialized agents will simulate maps whose representation will vary according to lack of electricity production or weather conditions. Important point to remember: no actual load shedding will take place on French territory today and these simulations cannot correspond exactly to what would happen in the case of real load shedding.
A special exercise for Enedis
Enedis is used to conducting this type of simulation exercise several times a year in its own crisis unit, but it usually involves testing its organization to restore power in the event of a storm. “This time it is a specific exercise of the current supply difficulties,” specifies the energy specialist who plans the tests for half a day or even a whole day and sometimes involves the prefectures, as will be the case this Friday. .
