A big milestone was reached this weekend: at over 200 meters tall from ground to blade tip, the first of 16 turbines is now up at the Green Breeze Wind Farm in Galați province, Romania – our first project under construction in the country. Owned by Nala Renewables, Green Breeze is scheduled for commissioning in 2026 and will produce an estimated 312 GWh annually. That's enough to power more than 50,000 homes with clean energy. Once operational, OX2 will handle the technical and commercial management of the project. We're proud to accelerate access to renewable energy in Romania!

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

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
