The temperature in France will continue to drop next week, and the cold current coming from Siberia and northern Europe next Wednesday (65438+1October 18) will cool most parts of France to-5.8℃ and 8.8℃.

To this end, the French Prime Minister's Office is preparing to set up a national monitoring center. The French power grid is also preparing to take special measures to limit power supply.

The French Power Transmission Network (RTE) and the Prime Minister's Office attach great importance to industrial and civil power supply.

Moreover, the length of time to power off users should not exceed two hours.

French Prime Minister's Office 65438+1October 14 said that they would set up a "national monitoring center" to closely monitor the power supply situation throughout the country every day.

The transmission network also indicated that they may be prepared to close the 2 1 industrial base to protect normal electric heating users. But these enterprises will not suffer economic losses, and the state will give some economic compensation.

France has 58 nuclear reactors, accounting for 70% of the country's energy. Nearly 20 nuclear reactors have been under maintenance since winter. Before last winter, the president of the power company said that it should not be too cold this winter. But the winter of 20 17 is still colder than in previous years.

In order to let the people live this winter well, the French power company, the national transmission grid and political leaders attach great importance to the upcoming cold current. During the night of 65438+1October 12 to 65438+1October 13, five provinces in the northwest of France were hit by strong winds, resulting in power outages for 330,000 households. The power company has sent thousands of maintenance workers, which is in a hurry.

As of June+10/October 10 in 65438, Poland, Romania and the Balkans suffered from rare cold weather, and at least 60 people died.
