French electricity consumers face curbs on their electricity supplies following shutdowns at four of EDF's nuclear power plant. France is highly reliant on its nuclear power plants, obtaining around 70 per cent of its electricity from nuclear on an annual basis.
This, along with other various examples of nuclear unreliability, must seriously question the British Government's determination to plough on with its programme of new nuclear power plant. The four nuclear plants have been shut down 'after the detection of anomalies in the emergency injection circuits'.
France's Grid Operator, RTE, has warned consumers that limitations on supplies may be necessary soon. France has been struggling with its nuclear sector and EDF's efforts to build another nuclear plant at Flamanville have been hobbled by very long construction delays and massive cost overruns.
