France just awarded its biggest offshore wind project ever: 1.5 GW off the coast of Normandy. TotalEnergies won the AO8 auction. The project will power over 1 million homes, cut electricity costs and create jobs. France already has 1.6 GW of offshore wind in operation and another 1.5 GW under construction. It wants 18 GW by 2035 and 45 GW by 2050. But not all auctions are landing. On the same day, AO7 received no bids. Nine developers had prequalified, but technical challenges and market uncertainty made the site too risky. Future auctions must strike a better balance. The sector is ready. AO9 and AO10 need to launch soon to keep the pipeline moving. And the Government must approve the multiannual energy programme (PP3) to unlock AO10. Offshore wind brings clean power, jobs and energy independence. France must stay the course. Full story: https://lnkd.in/erFWEbQz

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
