EDF shut unit 4 at the Bugey nuclear plant at 09:30 on 10 October to adapt generation to electricity demand.
EDF said unit 4 at its Bugey nuclear plant was taken offline at 09:30 on Saturday, 10 October, to adapt the company’s generation to electricity demand. The notice describes a demand-related operating decision, not an equipment fault.
EDF said units 2, 3 and 5 were available to the national electricity grid. Its statement gave no capacity, production or restart timetable, so the update does not establish how long unit 4 will remain offline or the plant’s total output.
