The heat triggers energy crises

Margarete Freisinger says both the EU and the heat wave are at fault for the current energy shortages. She fears the situation will deteriorate. "Growing demand for electricity and insufficient capacity of power stations are to blame: Since 2001, Austria, which used to export electricity, has had to import an increasing amount of its electricity – which is becoming more and more difficult and expensive owing to growing shortages and supply problems all over Europe. The difficulty dates back to 1999 when the EU liberalised regulations for industrial bulk consumers. This triggered a plunge in prices even before the new regulations took effect. Suppliers responded by closing expensive old power stations and shelving plans to build new ones. As a consequence, Europe's reserve capacities of around 30 percent, once earmarked for extreme cases, have practically disappeared."
