“We are assuming a highly stressed situation during the coming winter.” That was Hendrik Neumann, chief technical officer of German electricity grid operator Amprion, speaking to the Financial Times on Tuesday about potentially cutting off electricity exports to other countries to avoid local shortages.
Neumann said the war in Ukraine was one of numerous “overlapping issues” contributing to Europe’s energy crisis, worsened by the shutdown of over half of France’s 56 nuclear power plants and low water levels on main rivers delaying coal shipping. “The government needs to draw the political conclusions and take the political responsibility,” he added.
The policies have not been popular with other EU states, with outgoing Italian prime minister Mario Draghi saying when “faced with the common threats of our times, we cannot divide ourselves according to the space in our national budgets.”Meanwhile in the U.K, energy regulator Ofgem sent a letter to industry experts dated Sept. 30, warning that there is a “significant risk” of gas shortages this winter and next, meaning the U.K could enter a gas supply emergency.
