Agnes Pannier-Runacher said the government is taking steps to “avoid restrictive measures” on energy use at the height of the winter cold season, following a special cabinet meeting on issues energy.
France depends on Nuclear Energy In generating 67 percent of its electricity – more than any other country – and on gas to generate 7 percent of its electricity.
Currently, 32 of France’s 65 nuclear reactors, all operated by EDF, have been shut down for routine maintenance and in some cases to fix corrosion problems..
The minister stated that “there is a timetable that states that starting in October, a new (nuclear) plant will be commissioned again every week.”.
On Tuesday, the Prime Minister warned Elizabeth Burne That the worst-case scenario this winter could lead to periodic blackouts for two hours in French homes.
The government will “closely monitor” the state of nuclear plants reported to be suffering from corrosion, according to the minister.
The Minister of Energy also said that EDF “has begun to take action and must assure us that it is making progress as planned.”.
France launched a “Sobriety in Energy” plan in June, which aims to reduce energy use by 10 percent by 2024.
The measures come amid concerns that Russia may cut off gas supplies and that these LNG imports will not be enough to meet Europe’s energy needs..
Agnes Pannier-Runacher also said: Strategic gas stores The country is 92 percent full.
Russia’s state-run energy company, Gazprom, halted the flow of natural gas through a major pipeline from Russia to Europe this week, citing planned temporary maintenance work..
