It caters to the increasing demand across sectors including commercial and residential buildings, infrastructure, utility and renewable energy systems of solar, wind and many others where electricity is consumed, ABB India said in a statement. The facility manufactures, tests, and supplies ABB Smart Power’s complete range of low voltage power equipment and energy management technologies to meet demand from the industry for increased reliability and energy savings. The smart facility harnesses advanced collaborative robotics technology for better human-machine interface, artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced digitalization technologies to create a sophisticated, automated, and flexible future-ready factory. At the same time, EDF’s revenues are capped by government measures to protect consumers and businesses.In order to meet the strong demand for its Smart Power solutions and energy management technologies, ABB India has decided to expand and upgrade its Smart Power factory in Bengaluru's Nelamangala. The nuclear energy shortfall comes at a time when France and the rest of Europe are struggling with an energy crisis and high energy prices related to several factors, including the war in Ukraine, low natural gas reserves, and high prices of greenhouse gas emissions allowances.Īccording to Bloomberg, the rising energy prices across the continent are adversely affecting the finances of EDF, because the company has to “buy back its atomic output shortfall on the wholesale market at record costs. EDF has projected that the nuclear energy output in France for all of 2022 will be between 295 and 315 TWh, compared with 360.7 TWh in 2021. Lower output, higher costs: France’s nuclear energy production in April 2022 was 20 percent lower than in April 2021 and at its lowest level since September 2020. Le Monde speculated that “the issue might affect all of France’s nuclear power plants, although further evaluation is needed.” Cracking identified so far affects multiple 1,450-MW units as well as at least one 1,300-MW reactor investigations could reveal that the problem extends to the 900-MW class of French reactor, as well. In mid-April, the company reported ultrasound inspection results suggesting that at least four additional reactors could be affected by similar problems. The problem: Between mid-2021 and early 2022, inspections by EDF revealed corrosion and cracks in key pipes at five reactors, prompting lengthy checks and repairs.
