This extreme heat also weakens our electricity system. When it is 40 °C on bitumen, the cables, which are buried a little lower, can reach 70 or 80 °C. For several hours, this Tuesday, June 23, there were power cuts at 3,000 homes in Bordeaux, 2,500 in Cergy, as well as in Toulouse and Dijon. Finally, the heat also has consequences on certain power plants on the riverside, such as that of Golfech, in the Tarn-et-Garonne. (Company topics).
