More than 1,000 euros per megawatt hour (MWh) for the start of 2023. Against another 85 euros last year at the same period on the wholesale markets, where suppliers are supplied.

The war in Ukraine with the threat of a nuclear disaster at the Zaporijjia power plant, one of the most powerful in the world (6000 MW), but also the shutdown of more than half of French nuclear reactors for maintenance, warm the spirits.
