With fans and ACs running nonstop, generators are being urged to prepare extra power — a repeat of last month’s warning as this heatwave lingers for over ten days. Tight margins are expected during evening peaks, possibly forcing higher costs to buy power from gas plants. Meanwhile, France’s nuclear output may dip due to reduced river cooling, potentially cutting exports to the UK and Germany — a stark reminder of how vulnerable our energy systems are to extreme weather.
