Meuse low flow at Chooz, the 1998 Franco-Belgian flow thresholds and the two Chooz nuclear units, July–November 2026

“Ce phénomène concerne principalement les centrales de Chooz (dont la production est limitée par des accords internationaux sur le débit de la Meuse), Saint-Alban, Golfech, Bugey et Cattenom.” — source, 2026-11-12
RTE's first analysis of summer 2026, dated 21 September, names Chooz first among the plants behind about 10 TWh of climate-related nuclear unavailability and ties it to the international agreements on Meuse flow. RTE balances the system and reports no supply difficulty; it bears no price exposure itself, and the same note attributes the rise in spot prices first to gas, not to nuclear.
