EDF Faces Power Disruptions in Arc Valley Flood

Electricite de France (EDF) is grappling with the consequences of a flood that is currently underway in the Arc Valley of Southern France. The flood presents significant challenges for power generation in the area.

EDF warned that the ongoing situation might result in a substantial reduction in power production capacity. The Combe d'Avrieux plant, with a capacity of up to 123 MW, and the Villarodin plant, capable of producing up to 357 MW, are under threat.

The potential impact of the flood could lead to a combined loss of up to 480 MW, creating concerns about electricity supply stability in the region.
