That you believe (and that you confirm it) and that you invite me to check it is one thing, that it is exact is another ...
It just happens that there is an official site, that of RTE, on which you can find in real time (1 / 2h) the production of all groups of more than 100MW unitary power in France, they belong to EDF or to another producer. So, of course, we have to look for a little, because in general, nuclear groups are rather exploited near their nominal load, which is logical because their marginal cost (the variable cost) is the lowest of all non-renewable means of production and therefore they are called first. It is therefore necessary to look for (there are all the histories over several years) towards the beginnings and end of WE, the somewhat hollow days of summer, or the period Noel-New Year's Day.
So my turn to invite you to check, we are never more convinced than when we have even made the effort to search for the raw data rather than to stay on his certainties or hackers peddled on the Internet. [/ i]
Back to this not very old post, relating to the "flexibility" of French nuclear power. I was talking about the Christmas-New Year period.
That night to 4h30, the nuclear output was 44890MW. At 9h15, it was greater than 52000MW, and now greater than 53000.
