It was Reuters who announced it on September 29: power cuts are imminent in France and mobile antennas will not be spared.
“Power cuts increase the risk of electronic component failures if they are subjected to sudden interruptions, said Massimo Sarmi, the boss of this pressure group.
“France has about 62,000 mobile antennas and the sector will not be able to equip them all with new batteries, said Liza Bellulo, president of the FFT.
URGENT: imminent power cuts in France
It will be interesting to see how the French will live this unexpected return to the 60s, without laptops and without internet....
Not to mention that the repeated power cuts will not only affect communications, but also supply stores (crates, fridges, etc.). To top it off, today's Rungis fire could signal a curious relentlessness in accentuating deprivation. Have you stocked up on water, food and cash? It's time to think about it...
It is not a question of taking a paranoid look at the situation, but of logically connecting all the dots together; the recent sabotage of the two Nordstream pipelines, which also seriously affects ENGIE (which holds 9% of the shares of N2), marks the high point of convergence of all these points, too long to list here, but which all say that these shortages energy and food are desired, and not the consequence of the war in Ukraine maintained by the USA and the EU to justify them.
To this we can oppose inventiveness and good humor and it is an opportunity to tie or renew ties with close neighbors, share meals, hold evenings, tell stories, knit, play, undertake together.. .
"The happy man is not the man who laughs, but the one whose soul, full of joy and confidence, is superior to events."
Indeed, according to information from Reuters, the government is considering a plan providing for power cuts in certain regions of France.
The plan, proposed by electricity distributor Enedis, a division of publicly traded company Electricité de France SA (EPA:EDF), would provide for outages of up to two hours in the worst case scenario.
A rotation would be organized between the affected regions, and essential services such as hospitals, police and government would not be affected, the Reuters sources said.
This plan would take place following discussions held over the summer between the French government, telecommunications operators and Enedis.
The French Telecoms Federation (FFT), which includes Orange SA (EPA:ORAN), Bouygues (EPA:BOUY) Telecom and SFR (EPA:SFRGR) of Altice (AS:ATCA), has reportedly criticized Enedis for its inability to exempt antennas from power cuts.
In this regard, Enedis told Reuters that all customers are treated equally in the event of exceptional cuts, and that it is up to the government to ask it to work to exempt mobile antennas.
An official from the French Ministry of Finance with knowledge of the discussions is said to have said in this regard:
"Perhaps we will have improved our knowledge in this area by this winter, but it is not easy to isolate a mobile antenna (from the rest of the network)".
Investors will therefore closely follow a possible official confirmation, or denial, from the French government.
