Solar Eclipse: will we be without power on March 20? – TF1

“On 20 March, under a clear sky, about 35,000 égawatts Power Solar, the equivalent of 80 medium-sized production units will gradually disappear European electricity system to gradually return later “significantly reducing the photovoltaic production, Eclipse Sun March 20, promises to revolutionize the European electricity system, according to a study by the European network of managers electricity transmission networks and gas (Entsoe).

“An unprecedented test”

Recalling that countries such as the Germany and Italy have a large number of solar units, the authors suggest “the risk of an incident.” “This will be an unprecedented test”, they added: coordination between the different network operators will be “crucial”.

Dominique Maillard President of the French operator of the high voltage network (TEN), said last November that the “crossing the penumbra” would reduce “dramatically photovoltaic production “. “It will therefore ensure that the means of production are available to take over,” he added.

Other electrical generation sources such as coal or nuclear energy could be called in to ensure the European electricity supply.
