Saint-Avold coal power station: between hope and disillusionment in series, a new battle won but a still uncertain future

The workers of the Saint-Avold coal-fired power station (Moselle) found hope after the Senate rejected the Chauvet amendment Tuesday, March 25, 2025. The legislative path to allow its conversion to gas is still long. The bill still needs to be considered by the National Assembly. Back on a series of twists.

At least 60 employees of the Emile-Huchet power station, supported by elected representatives, are in front of the Senate in Paris, where on Tuesday 25 March amendments are debated to allow or not the transition from factory to gas.
