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

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.

EDF has warned of possible output cuts affecting up to 7.7 GW of capacity across three nuclear plants in southeastern France, due to high water temperatures in the Rhone river.   At Bugey 2, capacity will be reduced by 80% to 180 MW on Friday between 03:00 and 17:00 CET. Additional reductions may follow from Sunday at St Alban, where only one 1.3 GW unit is running, and from next Wednesday at Tricastin, where one 915 MW reactor is offline.   The plants rely on the Rhone river for cooling. When river temperatures rise, limits are imposed on heat discharge to protect the ecosystem.   EDF has previously warned of possible restrictions at Bugey but cancelled several planned curtailments due to revised forecasts.   Temperatures in southern France have been rising since Monday and could hit 40°C this weekend, according to Meteo France.   Link to the full reporting by Sophie Tetrel can be found in the comments section. #energymarkets #nuclear #france #curtailment

📣Today we approve a €11 billion French State aid scheme to support offshore wind energy, in line with the objectives of the Clean Industrial Deal. 🌱This scheme was approved under the Clean Industrial State Aid Framework (CISAF), that was adopted by the Commission on 25th June 2025. ✅The measure will support the construction and operation of three floating offshore wind farms. ⚡Each windfarm is expected to generate energy equivalent to the annual consumption of 450,000 French households. 🏚️ The scheme is expected to boost this particular clean tech industry in the EU.  It will run for 20 years.

ETIP HYDROPOWER has released a new White Paper on hydropower’s central role in Europe’s clean energy transition. Titled “Hydropower’s Key Role in Flexibility and Storage for a Safe, Clean and Secure European Power System – Today and Tomorrow,” the publication outlines how hydropower can meet Europe’s growing need for flexibility as renewable energy expands. Highlights from the report: • Hydropower offers vast storage capacity through pumped storage, rapid ramping capability, and black start functionality to restore power after blackouts. • To unlock this potential, the sector requires stronger R&D&I investment, a level playing field free from distortions, fair remuneration for flexibility services, and streamlined permitting processes. The findings will be discussed in detail during an ETIP Hydropower webinar on 8 October. 🔗 Registration: https://lnkd.in/dfmzDGpm Download the paper: https://lnkd.in/eBV5jW6j
