– The lowest production in Germany since 30 years

– the lowest production in Switzerland in 30 years

– the lowest production in France in this century (probably in the last 30 years as well):

In Switzerland a lot of electricity is imported, about 50% of the imports are from France.
The chief of the Swiss federal power agency Elcom fears for trouble this winter due to the unreliable deliveries from France:

You won’t believe it …. EPR cracked in it’s first test run:

https://www.hongkongfp.com/2017/12/14/welding-defects-deaerator-chinese-nuclear-plant-long-known-manufacturer-documents-show/

They used coal power to manufacture it and to fire it up. And now they use coal power soldering it.

But hey, it has a generic design approval from the UK atom clowns like this one here:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/dec/14/plans-for-major-nuclear-power-station-in-wales-win-green-light-wylfa-anglesey#comment-109717895

” …… ensuring that the generic design meets the highest standards of safety that we expect in this country.”

Naive and simplistic.

German emissions have grown 3 years in a row. Will closing of Gundremmingen mean that 3 becomes 4?

After 2016 2017 is the next head banger, never in this century atom power production was that low:

https://www.platts.com/latest-news/electric-power/london/french-nuclear-output-remains-below-planned-availability-26856032

” French nuclear for 2017 remained on track for a new record low this century with annual cumulative nuclear output still trailing 2016 by almost 5 TWh, an analysis of production data from RTE showed.”

And in 2017 Finland becomes one of the worst climate culprits in Europe:

https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/finland_torches_more_coal_overshoots_emissions_cap_by_a_million_tons/9971239

Please: if anyone has a link to the news page of rte.fr then please link it. Since EdF ‘sold’ RTE to the French government more up-to-date news seem to seep out. THANK YOU !

Knocking the bar: the RE-share (” Net generation of power plants for public power supply “) rose in the 2nd half of 2017 to 39.17%

https://energy-charts.de/ren_share.htm?source=ren-share&period=monthly&year=2017

With the closure of Gundremmingen B the RE-share will hit the 40% bar in January 2018, two years ahead of what politics once planned.

40% – thats’s like a Doppelkorn for lunch 🙂
