French power grid operator RTE is not ruling out a power outage this winter, according to BFMTV.
The company said that this possibility can be avoided by reducing energy consumption by 1% -5%.
The channel quoted the company as saying: “We cannot completely eliminate the risks of blackouts, but this can be avoided by reducing national energy consumption by 1%-5% in most cases – and by 15% in severe winters. ”
“In winter, the risk of high loads on the power grid increases, but this can be circumvented by tough energy-saving measures,” the company added.
