Impact of Strikes on Energy Production
PARIS (Reuters) - French utility EDF's nuclear production was reduced by 1.1 gigawatt early on Thursday, data from the company showed, as workers lowered power output at the Flamanville 1 reactor as part of a nationwide strike expected to hit several sectors.
Nuclear Production Affected
Nuclear production was only affected at a single power plant while hydropower output was unaffected, the data showed.
Hydropower Output Remains Stable
France has 57 GW of total nuclear capacity, which produces about 70% of the country's annual electricity.
