French state-owned utility EDF will accelerate its climate adaptation plan for its nuclear fleet after extreme hot weather caused record disruptions at French nuclear plants this summer. Heatwaves forced output cuts at reactors when river temperatures limited cooling, raising concerns about how vulnerable France's largest power source is to a warming climate.
Why now: Record summer heat disruptions at nuclear plants made energy security and climate resilience a live concern in France.
