France exported a record volume of electricity to its neighbors on Friday, notably due to lower national needs and better availability of nuclear power plants. This record amount of export capacities “reserved” by the markets, Friday at 4 p.m., reached some 18,680 megawatts (MW), compared to 17,415 MW, during the previous record established on February 22, 2019, indicated RTE, confirming a daily information The echoes.
This electricity was exported to the United Kingdom (3 GW), Germany and Benelux (5.4 GW), Switzerland (3.2 GW), Italy (4.4 GW) and Spain (2.6 GW), detailed RTE. The actual volume of exports may vary marginally up to an hour before the appointed time, said RTE, which was not able to provide the corrected data immediately.
“Competitive” production costs
RTE also highlights “competitive” production costs, given that “the availability of all our means of production, particularly nuclear”, has increased compared to last year. Placed in 2022 in an unprecedented situation due to corrosion problems detected on several nuclear reactors, France had to import electricity last year, which had not happened for 42 years.
