In the event that the French authorities consider that power cuts are necessary, they will take place between 8:00 and 13:00 and between 18:00 and 20:00 French time
The possibility of one voluntary partial black out in the greater part of France during the first months of 2023 is now at the center of French public opinion’s interest, with the country’s political leadership predicting it, assuring that much will depend on the determination of the population to show restraint in relation to the consumption of electricity, as well as on whether this year’s winter will be “hard” in terms of temperatures.
French President Emmanuel Macron said during his televised interview that no power cuts would be required “if we all implement the plan to reduce our consumption by 10% last year”. The root of the problem lies in the fact that of the 56 reactors that exist in France for the production of nuclear energy, 20 are currently in the maintenance phase and no more than six are expected to be activated by the end of the year.
In the event that the French authorities assess at the beginning of 2023 that it is necessary to interrupt the electricity supply from time to time, these will take place between 8:00 and 13:00 as well as between 18:00 and 20:00 French time. They will concern 60% of the country and in particular the supply lines of the network that do not supply electricity to priority facilities, such as hospitals, schools, etc.
