RTE and Enedis are coming together this Friday, December 9 for a large-scale operation supposed to reproduce a tense electrical situation which could lead to load shedding. A unique simulation.
It is a major test that will take place this Friday, December 9 in France and let it be said right away it will not change much in your daily life.
The energy company and the manager of the electricity transmission network will indeed carry out a test campaign on a national scale on load shedding operations. What should we expect at a time when these cut-off operations could be put in place imminently with the approach of winter?
The associated prefectures
If there will be no real cuts on Friday, the exercise is unprecedented for the manager. Concretely, the specialized agents will have to simulate maps whose rendering will vary according to the weather and the conditions of electricity production. The prefectures will be involved in the operation.
“This time, it is an exercise specific to the difficulties of supplying the current”, specifies Enedis. It will then be a question of verifying how RTE and Enedis can react according to different models and activate load shedding in certain territories under tension. The two companies will thus have to put their crisis management to the test, test the procedures and operating methods.
An internal test day that will therefore be completely painless for network users.
