The French flocked to the stove and lantern due to the electrical crisis

Sales of stoves and lanterns doubled in France due to the electricity crisis.

According to RMC news, sales of tube stoves, lanterns, portable solar panel heaters and illuminators, and camping tubes increased 10-fold in the past 10 days compared to the same period a year earlier.

The increasing risk of power outages in the country during the winter months caused an explosion in sales of these materials. In addition, citizen demand for generators from electronic equipment stores increased.

MACRON MADE AN EXPLANATION

President Emmanuel Macron, in his statement yesterday, argued that exaggerated fear scenarios were taking place regarding electricity production in the country, “We are a big country, we have a great energy model, we will continue this winter (without problems) despite war. “he had used the phrase.

France is experiencing a decline in electricity production as Russia cuts gas supplies to the country and many nuclear power plants are undergoing maintenance. Despite the reactions, the government had reactivated the coal-fired power plant in Saint-Avold, which had previously stopped operating.

In France, where energy production comes largely from nuclear power plants, most stoves and heaters used in homes run on electricity. (AA)
