Question 16389 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Thierry Frappé questions the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature on the adaptation of the electricity network to episodes of extreme heat. The exceptionally high temperatures recorded in recent weeks have highlighted the vulnerability of certain electrical infrastructures. In Finistère, the explosion of two transformers deprived up to 120,000 homes with electricity, while several incidents have also been noted on underground networks in other cities. Network managers themselves have recognized that high heat constitutes a growing constraint for certain installations, particularly older equipment. While heatwave episodes appear more frequent, more intense and longer lasting, he wants to know what strategy the Government intends to implement in order to accelerate the adaptation of the French electricity network to these new climatic constraints, to strengthen the resilience of the most exposed infrastructures and to guarantee the continuity of the electricity supply during future episodes of extreme heat.
