“So why are they over €1,000?”
Nukes are running at 42% capacity.
A modern nuke plant is capable of better than 90% uptime. Wonder what their problem is?
One element of the story isn’t explained well by the news media. For some odd reason....the French nuke plants have a top-heavy maintenance schedule of down-time for 2022 (more than 50-percent). It begs questions who arranged the schedule. So far, the news media has not hyped this enough to get an investigation going.
To make up for this limit...oddly enough, the French are buying German power because of prior arrangements (probably going back several years).
If you look at this...someone shuffled the deck around and had to know of some Russian event to occur.
