“
We were able to spend this winter in satisfactory conditions
”, indicated this Tuesday morning to
Sud Radio
the boss of Engie, Catherine MacGregor, while acknowledging “
that we were also helped a little by the climate
”.
“
It's true that in February 2022, we were saying that we weren't going to make it through the winter, but we all took a certain number of actions, both on security of supply but also on the asks with calls for sobriety
,” she adds.
According to the group's forecasts, "
we will once again succeed in getting through next winter
", from 2023 to 2024. But caution remains in order for the CEO: "
That does not mean that we have to relax our efforts because Russian volumes have indeed been removed from global gas production, so we will have to continue to be careful

Asked about a potential restart of China in the production of electricity, Catherine MacGregor points out that “
last year, Chinese demand was relatively weak, if it restarts, that could add tension to the tension
