We are boosting Europe's energy security and green transition with €1 billion euros of financing to EDF, the owner of Enedis, the public utility managing the power grid across 95% of France. In line with #RePowerEU goals, this financing will help integrate decentralised renewable energy in Enedis electricity distribution network whilst improving its resilience to climate change. Electricity is expected to account for 55% of final energy use in France by 2050, which makes green transition a major challenge. Supporting Enedis investment program is critical to guarantee our energy security. EIB VP Ambroise Fayolle commented: "In 2024, 40% of investments in Europe to finance energy networks, interconnections, and storage were mobilized by the EIB. The European Union’s bank thus plays a major role in the decarbonization and energy security of the continent. The financing for Enedis is fully aligned with this dynamic. We are therefore pleased to continue supporting EDF with this total financing of 1 billion euros to modernize the network and make it more resilient to the impacts of climate change.” For more info: bit.ly/EIBFrance

EDF power solutions aims to add 500 MW of low-carbon assets yearly in South Africa French energy group EDF says the consolidation of its two international low-carbon businesses into a new entity called EDF Power Solutions has repositioned it to implement multi-technology projects in the 25 countries in which it operates, including South Africa, where it has a goal of closing 5 GW of projects by 2030. EDF Power Solutions Southern Africa VP, Tristan de Drouas, says the merged entity - which combines #EDFRenewables and the #EDFGroup International Division, has expertise in wind, solar, hybrid, hydropower and pump hydro storage, battery energy storage systems (BESS) and biomass.

On 30 September, ENTSO-E took part in the International Energy Agency (IEA) ’s High-Level Roundtable at IEA Headquarters in Paris, dedicated to managing risks from natural hazards, extreme weather, and climate change.   Our System Operations Committee Chair, Olivier Arrivé, contributed ENTSO-E’s experience on risk preparedness, system resilience, and operational coordination in Europe’s interconnected grid. This dialogue with governments, the energy sector, and insurers focused on: 🔹Mapping and prioritising risks to energy infrastructure 🔹Planning and financing for a resilient energy system 🔹Practical solutions to strengthen resilience against climate-driven challenges   The discussions will feed into the IEA’s ongoing workstreams on resilience and support shared efforts to make energy systems better prepared for tomorrow’s risks. At ENTSO-E, we believe that investing in resilient energy infrastructure is essential to safeguard security of supply, protect citizens, and support the energy transition.   #IEA #EnergyResilience #ENTSOE #EnergySecurity #ClimateResilience

On September 3, jellyfish forced a shutdown of one reactor at France’s Paluel nuclear power plant — the second such incident in a month. The swarm clogged seawater intake filters used to cool the reactors, cutting output by 2.4 gigawatts. Paluel, France’s second-largest nuclear facility with a 5.2 GW capacity, is a key contributor to the country’s 70% reliance on nuclear power. Similar jellyfish disruptions recently hit the Gravelines plant and have also been reported at coastal nuclear stations in Scotland and Japan. Experts warn that these events may become more common as global warming, invasive species, predator habitat loss, and overfishing create ideal conditions for jellyfish blooms, threatening the stability of reactor cooling systems worldwide. #Jellyfish #NuclearEnergy #ClimateChange #MarineLife #France #EnergyResilience #GlobalWarming #Sustainability
