A 24-hour strike in France’s power sector on Tuesday is set to cut deliverability at the Dunkirk LNG terminal to about 4 GWh per day from 07:00 GMT, Fluxys said, versus the terminal’s usual minimum of 9.4 GWh/day. Unions called action at state nuclear operator EDF, Belgian regas operator Fluxys and French regas operator Elengy to protest a Court of Audit recommendation to reduce staff benefits, including access to cheaper electricity. The strike arrives as Europe races to refill gas stocks ahead

Unions called action at state nuclear operator EDF, Belgian regas operator Fluxys and French regas operator Elengy to protest a Court of Audit recommendation to reduce staff benefits, including access to cheaper electricity. The strike arrives as Europe races to refill gas stocks ahead of winter; France is one of Europe’s largest natural gas exporters and Germany and other gas-dependent countries are behind EU storage targets.
