Thanks to the Enedis search engine, check if your address is affected by cuts in the event of an alert on the electrical network.
France is sinking into winter, and the pressure is mounting on its electricity network. While many nuclear reactors remain shut down and temperatures drop day after day, the prospect of too much demand for electricity in relation to supply is becoming clearer. To the point of forcing the executive to prepare the use of load shedding (organized, temporary and rotating power cuts), in December or next January.
To avoid arriving at this extreme solution, the last resort to avoid the generalized blackout, the authorities have many solutions, including the Ecowatt device – the “smart bison of electricity”. The latter must push the French to limit their electricity consumption, under penalty of having to resort to load shedding. In its latest forecasts, published in November, the network manager, RTE, thus indicated that “the risk of using the Ecowatt system (and in particular the red alert signal – the highest, editor’s note -) appears high over the month of January”.
Load shedding: how do I know if I am concerned?
In concrete terms, if load shedding (organized and occasional power cuts) prove necessary, RTE and Enedis will agree to determine which territories will be affected the day before the operation.
The French people concerned may be informed at 9:30 p.m., for a confirmed outage in the following hours. Based on the data provided by the authorities, Le Figaro offers you to check, in a search engine, if you are affected by these power cuts. To do this, simply enter your home address in the tool below. You can repeat the operation for each alert.
