Heatwave: EU says, “Energy supplies are stable; there is no cause for concern”

Brussels – “There is no cause for concern; energy supplies are stable“. The European Commission, through its spokesperson Eva Hrncirova, has sought to allay fears of a blackout caused by the shutdown of nuclear and power stations due to extreme summer weather. “The situation Europe is currently facing is weather-related,” namely heatwaves and droughts and the low river levels that result from them, acknowledges the spokesperson, who points out that the
Electricity Coordination Group

had already met on Tuesday (11 August) and that the conclusion reached at that meeting was that the situation is such that there is no cause for concern. 

In any case, “the Commission is monitoring the situation closely,” the spokesperson assured during the regular press briefing. “We remain vigilant,” she added.
