The strikes are expected to reduce France’s nuclear and water production

PARIS, 25 january (Reuters) – France planned by the government pension Anti-reform strikes are planned for Thursday and Friday at electricity utility EDF ( EDF.PA ) and are expected to affect nuclear and hydropower generation, the FNME-CGT union told Reuters on Wednesday. .

EDF earlier on the message board Tuesday through Thursday of the day had published a warning about the strike until the end.

FNME-CGT National Secretary Fabrice: “We are calling for a 48-hour strike … certainly starting tonight, but probably more tomorrow, especially in nuclear and hydroelectric power, without going so far as to affect users.” Coudour said.

Coudour added that strikes disrupting maintenance work at nuclear reactors are being considered, and targeted cuts in power supply cannot be ruled out.

The CGT union had earlier announced a 48-hour cleaning strike from Thursday. New on January 31st national a strike was declared and a 72-hour processing strike was declared on February 8.

TotalEnergies ( TTEF.PA ) said it had sufficient reserves at French gas stations to cope with the protests.
