(Reuters) A nationwide strike against pension reform in France led to a substantial fall in electricity output and halted deliveries from refineries operated by TotalEnergies and Esso.
“There is a strong mobilisation … at midday, with activity stoppages, but no desire to block or damage (the industry) for the moment,” the union source said.
Data from Power group EDF and grid operator RTE showed electricity production was down by 6.6 gigawatts (GW) at midday, roughly 10% of total power production, which they said was due to the strike.
