A complement (alas, I cannot find the source): electricity, on the wholesale market, during these peak times is worth a fortune, while the surplus of nuclear origin sold in times of low consumption is sold off for no big thing ...

Unfortunately, RTE's data are generally quantities, not values ​​...

Peak of cold; import / export ... A good summary, based a priori on good data here:

You have every day, the imports, the prices, the safety margins (some days, the "available margin" is lower than the "required safety margin"! This means that we were in a red zone, at the thank you for a fortuitous failure) ...

Thank you, I had not seen!

If some data vary enormously, others are constant: our imports from neighboring countries, including Germany, throughout the day, when it's cold [it's not just peaks that we pass like this ! Who will say to the French that our system "holds" only thanks to the others ... well, thanks to these dangerous irresponsible people coming out of nuclear power!
