Extreme heat and drought in Europe during summer increased electricity demand while reducing nuclear, hydropower, and thermal generation due to cooling and water shortages, causing power supply constraints and higher electricity prices.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Europe's power grid is showing cracks under climate stress, with thermal and nuclear plants hit by water shortages. You need to shift fast into energy storage and solar integration to keep costs down and supply stable through heatwaves.
