In order to prepare the French, and prevent things from turning into a mess, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne will send a circular to the prefects to organize these cuts as close to the ground as possible.
“In the situation where we have a particularly cold and energy-intensive winter, (…) there could be situations of tension and since a blackout is excluded, we are preparing the French for all scenarios”, tried to reassure Olivier Véran this morning.
