Strikes disrupt several French refinery sites

STORY: In electricity, supply from the Belleville 1 nuclear reactor was lowered 1 gigawatt (GW) due to the strike, data from operator EDF showed. Hydropower supply was unaffected after dropping by 1.7 GW earlier, the data showed.

That's compared to a steep fall in power production during a nationwide day of strikes on January 19, when output was down some 6.6 GW, roughly 10% of the country's total, forcing France to import power from neighbors.

At oil refineries, strike participation also waned, although deliveries were partially disrupted.

TotalEnergies also said fuel shipments were disrupted at its La Mede, Donges, and Normandy sites, but added it continued to make sure petrol stations were supplied. It added its refinery site at Feyzin was not affected.
