Power cuts: “We had two contradictory bells in a very short time”

In the spotlight France by candlelight the great fear

Will there be power cuts in France this winter? For several days, we have been hearing everything and its opposite on this subject. Some speak of likely, but rare cuts in certain time slots when the energy situation will be tense. Others that you don’t have to worry about, the winter will be fine if you put in the effort.

The day before yesterday, the manager of the electricity network mentioned that no one will be spared from power cuts, not even sick people at home on artificial respirators in particular. Inevitably, the media and political machine got carried away. President Macron brushes aside these risks of power cuts. And today, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne was forced to assure that the sick would “always be taken care of”. Between alerting and alarming, the delicate balance of government.
