According to The Financial Times, Electricite de Strasbourg sold more than 7 GW of electricity in two separate transactions on September 6th and 7th. Due to the incident, the French grid operator RTE requested emergency electricity supplies from the UK and Spain.

“The French warning was sent after compensatory operations showed that there could be a power shortage at Electricite de Strasbourg,” a source of the publication said.
