Remember, this time last year the government was constantly suggesting that France would be facing a shortage of electricity and that wintering will be difficult. He even urged the French to plan cuts to save the grid. In the end it went pretty well, although tension still remains due to high demand. Electricity doesn’t seem to be a problem this year, but that doesn’t mean it’s all rosy. On the contrary, because we have to prepare for a new deficit in the coming months.

There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice, it will be necessary to return pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

Lack of diesel

The International Energy Agency fears that there will be a shortage of diesel fuel in winter. The reason? Establishment of an embargo on Russian oil, which significantly reduces imports. Thus, refiners are having difficulty replenishing their stocks, which must therefore be visibly depleted. ANO representatives really explain that ” ten months after entry into force EU embargo on Russian oilEuropean refiners are still struggling to increase refining and diesel production“. And it’s not expected to improve in the coming months.

Rising price

According to specialists, the only way out would be to increase imports, but there is no miracle either. Are we going to attend? shortage of diesel at gas stations? There’s no point in worrying just yet. Moreover, the demand for this type of fuel tends to fall over the years. For its part, the price of oil continues to rise, but to a lesser extent compared to the situation a few months ago.
