The problem is two-fold: maintenance scheduled in the summer when the demand is “usually” lower. And stations operating with a river for cooling, where they have severe restrictions on many parameters, including maximum output temperature, which the river itself now goes over during a heatwave, so they need to shut down. It is a paradoxical situation in which the combination of our use of fossil fuels worldwide and inadequate legislation bars us from using a decarbonized energy source.
