PARIS—, officials said, as the country struggles to ramp up its fleet ofCorrosion discovered on pipes near the cores of several reactors led France to take more than half of them offline earlier this year, causing a sharp drop in. The outages have compounded Western Europe’s energy woes as the region grapples with a sharp cut in natural-gas deliveries from Russia amid the conflict over Ukraine. Twenty-two of France’s 56 nuclear reactors are currently offline, according to government data.
“Before that happens, the last tool available is to cut electricity temporarily for some French, on part of the territory,” an official said. The French government was alerting prefectures across the country to prepare to look after people with medical conditions who are hospitalized at home if they face power cuts. The cuts would happen during peak demand, generally from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., officials said.France’s state-controlled power company, has taken longer than expected to bring the reactors back online because of the difficulty of the repairs and labor unrest that delayed maintenance work.
But this fall, EDF workers went on strike seeking bigger salary increases to compensate them for inflation, delaying the maintenance work that EDF sought to accelerate.
