EU Electricity Group Calls For Flexibility To Ensure Plants Are Staffed :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

EU Electricity Group Calls For Flexibility To Ensure Plants Are Staffed :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: National governments and EU institutions should consider greater flexibility to allow specialised personnel to travel for inspection, operation and maintenance of critical installations and ensure that control centres and plants remain sufficiently staffed, a report on Europe’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic has said.



The report, published by electricity industry group Eurelectric, says energy companies needs support to tackle the financial pressure resulting from government decisions to postpone the payment of invoices.



It says European investment plans and economic recovery programmes should be fully compatible with EU climate objectives and support electrification and decarbonisation of the EU economy by targeting investment in technologies critical for the energy transition.
