The French government promises not to "break the air" but may take turns power outages this winter

Overseas Network, September 2nd. French Prime Minister Elizabeth Borne said that the natural gas of French families will not be cut off in winter, but in the worst case, power outage may be taken turns.

According to the "Fergaro" report, as the winter approaches, the French people's concerns about energy supply have increased day by day. At this point, Elizabeth Borne hopes that French families can rest assured. In an interview with the media on the 1st, she said: "Even if the winter is cold, we facing supply problems may also submit restrictions, but they will not target the family and the family will not cut off natural gas." She said that if the restrictions are inevitable, then only only there are only only there is only the only one. Enterprises will be affected because enterprises are large natural gas consumption, and the government is currently discussing with enterprises to evaluate the potential consequences of cutting off natural gas. She added, "Obviously, this will have economic and social consequences, no one wants this."

In terms of electricity, Elizabeth Borne is even more pessimistic. Due to the closure of multiple nuclear reactors in France and decreased power generation, if the weather is cold in winter, the power supply may occur. She said that if this situation occurs in winter, the energy industry will take a "turn reduction" operation. In the peak time of electricity consumption in winter, each city or every block may take turns to stop power for up to two hours, but this will be "the last final "Means", the government is trying to avoid this. If there is a power outage arrangement, the French Power Transport Corporation will notify it one day in advance. However, some places that are considered "meet the basic needs of the country" will not be powered off.

Elizabeth Borne calls on French companies and families to take responsibility for saving energy. Any effort to reduce natural gas and electricity consumption that everyone can do will avoid France falling into the situation of cutting off energy supply. She also said that if energy consumption is achieved by 10%, there will be no problem of cutting off supply.

Elizabeth Borne also said that starting in January 2023, the price of electricity and natural gas will rise, "we will not freeze the price forever." But she said that the bill will not have explosive growth. (Overseas Network-Paris-Lu Jia)
