French power company EDF has found faults in two nuclear reactors, prompting their shutdown — about 10% of France’s generation just went offline. This, in the midst of European energy crisis, is not good.
___
European power prices surged to record highs over the past couple of days after France announced the closure of four of its largest nuclear reactors. The crisis is further exacerbated by already very high prices of natural gas and cold temperatures. By the end of the month, most of the continent will endure below average temperatures, further increasing power demand.

Latest GFS outputs indicate some serious cold temps and snowfall (up to 1m) coming to Europe — right as France and Germany shutter their nuclear PPs, Russia cuts off the gas, and day-ahead elec prices hit record highs.
Winter is coming. Get ready.

Germany: Gas and diesel could soon be rationed
German authorities are preparing the economy for possible energy rationing. “Numerous companies have contacted us because they have received letters from their gas suppliers telling them that their energy supplies may be rationed or shut down in the future. The measures are being taken against the background of the Ukraine war.
A scenario that was considered unthinkable just a few weeks ago could become reality: that German companies can no longer produce because the authorities are turning off the gas tap.
In addition to gas, diesel is also likely to become scarce soon, and there is a risk of rationing here too. [IAF: consider the impact not just on trucking/supply chain, but on farm equipment/food production].

Gas und Diesel könnten schon bald rationiert werden
Die deutschen Behörden haben die Unternehmen aufgefordert, sich auf Rationierungen oder die Abschaltung von Erdgas vorzubereiten. Auch Diesel wird knapp.
