has faced an unprecedented number of reactor outages this year owing to delayed maintenance and stress corrosion, reducing nuclear output to 30-year lows just as Russia's war in Ukraine hit Europe's energy supplies.
"The consumption reductions are greater than anticipated in the September analysis," the grid operator said in its report. Nuclear power availability topped 40 GW on Dec. 12, lifting supply to the top of the expected availability range, RTE said.
