How Heatwaves Impact Nuclear, Gas, Wind, and Solar Power: A Factcheck
Key Takeaways
- Heatwaves reduce nuclear output due to cooling water issues; France saw 9% drop in July 2026.
- Gas plants lose efficiency in high temperatures, reducing output.
- Wind speeds drop during heatwaves, lowering wind generation.
- Solar panels lose efficiency but still generate well in clear conditions.
