Temperature soars, European electricity demand surges.
In the next two weeks, some parts of Europe will experience extremely hot weather with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. France will see record-breaking temperatures. Some nights will maintain temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius, creating high demand for cooling. Persistent low wind speeds in northwestern Europe will limit electricity generation, while clear weather will increase solar power generation. The electricity shortage at night may need to be filled by thermal power generation, which will increase the risk of rising electricity prices across the entire European continent.
