PARIS : Electric vehicles and other technology to cut emissions is likely to drive a surge in French power demand by 2035, meaning France will need to maintain its existing nuclear capacity, grid operator RTE said on Wednesday.To meet that goal, electricity is needed both to power the electric vehicles and the battery plants automakers need to produce them. Production of synthetic aviation fuel also relies heavily on power.
That compares with 452.8 TWh in 2022, which was a crisis year as Europe sought to curb its energy demand to cope with the impact of the Ukraine war and France's nuclear fleet was subject to an unusually high level of maintenance, meaning its energy output sank to a 34-year low. "This highlights the magnitude of the challenge facing the French electricity system," the report said.A new Flammanville 3 reactor, expected to start generating at the end of the year provided there are no further delays, will add 10 TWh per year.
