Nearly 12,000 homes still without electricity due to storm Floriane

Twelve thousand homes are still without electricity in France on Monday evening, mainly in the East and in Ile-de-France, due to the storm Floriane which swept across France from Sunday evening, reported the manager of the Enedis electricity distribution network. In the east of France, around 6:30 p.m., 2,000 homes are still without electricity in the Marne department, 1,000 in the Meuse and as many in Moselle, Meurthe-et-Moselle and Haut-Rhin. 1,200 homes are also without electricity in Seine-et-Marne, east of Paris, Enedis said.

“Most of it will be restored in the evening”he added. Earlier in the afternoon, Enedis reported a report of 40,000 customers without electricity. The network manager mobilized its teams last weekend, after the first alerts from Météo-France. He indicated on Monday that he would continue the interventions so that, from Tuesday morning, “the last homes without electricity can be restored.” Enedis also reminds that as a safety measure, you should never touch fallen wires or an object in contact with a power line. No more departments are on orange alert Monday evening. 21 were there during the night from Sunday to Monday, mainly in the northern half of France.
