Output restrictions are expected at two nuclear plants along the Rhone river in eastern France due to high temperature forecasts, nuclear operator EDF said, several days ahead of the similar warning last year, but affecting fewer plants.

REUTERS/Emmanuel Foudrot/File PhotoPARIS, July 12 - Output restrictions are expected at two nuclear plants along the Rhone river in eastern France due to high temperature forecasts, nuclear operator EDFThe hot weather is likely to halve the available power supply from the 3.6 gigawatt Bugey plant and the 2.
Kpler analyst Emeric de Vigan said the restrictions were likely to have little effect on output in practice, with cuts likely only at the weekend or midday when solar output was at its peak, so that the impact on power prices would be slim. Water temperatures at the Bugey plant already eclipsed the initial threshold on July 9 where restrictions are possible, and are currently forecast to peak next week and then drop again, Refinitiv data showed.
The Garonne river in southern France has the highest potential for warming to critical levels, but the Golfech plant is currently offline for maintenance until mid-August, the data showed."The authorities must stick to existing regulations for water discharges. Otherwise the ecosystems will be even more affected," he added.
