The European hot spell that’s set to push temperatures in France to their highest in nine years may last throughout the month, potentially cutting power supply.
High pressure is forecast to bring warm air into western Europe in July, with the hottest weather in France and Germany this week, according to MetraWeather. The heat will force Electricite de France SA to limit output at some of its power plants from Thursday, according to French grid operator Reseau de Transport d’Electricite SA.
