Power outages are on the agenda due to strikes in 12 of 18 nuclear power plants in France
According to the news of the Liberation newspaper, EDF, France's main energy provider, faced a power cut in the winter.
Employees of the Chooz-B nuclear power plant in the Ardennes city were also involved in the nuclear power plant strikes that lasted for two weeks. Thus, the strike continues in 12 of the 18 nuclear power plants in the country.
Due to the strikes, the energy production at the power plants decreased to very low levels. This also delays the maintenance of the reactors.
Negotiations on salary increases between the EDF responsible for the power plants and the labor unions have not yet yielded any results.
If nuclear reactors start production late, there is a risk of blackout in winter.
Hydroelectric power plant workers also went on strike
Emmanuelle Wargon, President of the French Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE), has requested from EDF that reactors that have stopped production or are in maintenance be put into service as soon as possible.
Wargon stated that the strikes delayed this schedule, and if there is no solution, they will face serious problems in electricity supply in winter.
On the other hand, employees at 3 hydroelectric power plants in the country also went on strike, with the call of the General Workers' Union (CGT) from all professional groups for the ongoing oil refinery strikes.
In addition, workers in the recycling center and the heating network, as well as workers in companies in the energy sector, are demanding a salary increase with the support of unions.
It is stated that these sectors are also at risk of going on strike.
