When you wake up this Sunday, April 28, 2024, 1,200 households in Corrèze are still without electricity due to violent winds which blew across Limousin the day before. “We have more than twenty incidents in the department,” indicates Philippe Zobel, head of the Enedis Limousin office.
Nearly 400 households are located in the small village of Saint-Chamant, located about forty kilometers east of Brive-la-Gaillarde.
A generator will be installed: “We will repair later. We can take the time to repair when it is simply a matter of downed wires. We maximize the restoration of as many customers as possible during the day”, assures Philippe Zobel.
