The manager of the electricity transmission network RTE estimated on Friday that there was now a "high" risk of tensions on the French electricity network in January, due to the restart of EDF nuclear reactors slower than expected.

The risk of using the Ecowatt system (and in particular the red alert signal) appears "high in January but will largely depend on weather conditions and the possible occurrence of even a moderate cold snap", according to the monthly update of the "prospects for the electricity system published" by RTE.
