Goretti Recovery: 95,600 Still Without Power as Rail Service Mostly Resumes

Enedis has deployed thousands of technicians, with automatic compensation available for extended outages.

Overview

  • As of Saturday morning, 95,600 customers remained without electricity, including about 92,000 in Normandy and 2,600 in Brittany, after a peak of roughly 380,000 outages.
  • Enedis activated its Rapid Electricity Intervention Force, fielding about 3,000 technicians and reinforcing customer support to accelerate reconnections.
  • The SNCF logged roughly 1,000 storm-related incidents; three Norman regional lines (YvetotFécamp, BréautéFécamp, Lison–Cherbourg) stay closed until Sunday, and a Corbeil–Melun section of the RER D remains shut with reopening not expected before midweek.
  • EDF has taken the Flamanville EPR offline as a precaution, while authorities reported two serious injuries linked to roof repair attempts.
  • Long-outage compensation applies from five consecutive hours at €2 per kVA per five-hour tranche, capped at 40 tranches, and appears via energy suppliers, typically with a delay of around two months.
