Threat of power outages this winter ‘seems to be receding’

Government spokesman Olivier Véran explained that the risk of power outages was decreasing thanks to the gradual return to service of shutdown nuclear reactors, sobriety efforts and weather conditions.

The threat of power cuts this winter “seems to be diminishing,” government spokesman Olivier Véran said on Wednesday, though the executive called on “businesses and citizens” to “maintain efforts in eco-gestures.”

“The risk of a shutdown this winter seems to be decreasing, in particular due to a gradual resumption of operation of our nuclear power plants, but also due to weather conditions, the whole world will have been able to see it, but also due to the effort put in by the State, companies and all the French in terms of energy sobriety”, declared Olivier Véran during the report of the Council of Ministers.
