Tens of thousands of households in France are still experiencing
power outages following Storm “Goretti,” which hit the country on
January 8–9.
According to foreign media reports cited by
Azernews, Enedis, the operator responsible for
France’s electricity distribution network, said that electricity
supply has already been restored to more than three-quarters of the
380,000 homes initially affected by the storm.
However, power outages persist in around 92,000 homes across the
departments of Manche, Calvados, Seine-Maritime, Eure, and Orne.
Enedis teams continue repair works to fully restore electricity
supply to all customers as soon as possible.
The storm brought extremely strong winds, with gusts reaching
nearly 200 kilometers per hour on the night of January 8. In the
Normandy region, wind speeds of up to 213 kilometers per hour were
recorded in the village of Gatteville, highlighting the severity of
the weather event.
