France's grid operator is keeping extra nuclear reactors online to maintain system stability during periods of strong solar power generation. The operator has not identified specific reactors or provided output figures for the current adjustment. Officials said the step is part of routine management of supply and demand on the national grid.
France relies on nuclear power for the majority of its electricity. Solar generation has increased in recent years as new capacity comes online. The grid operator adjusts reactor output and availability based on real-time demand and weather conditions. No changes to overall nuclear capacity or long-term energy policy were announced.
