  • The EU’s roiling energy crisis is poised to erupt as Europe heads into winter, prompting calls to ensure every watt of available electricity is fed into the European grid.
  • As Germany prepares to shut down its last remaining nuclear reactors, EU officials are calling upon the bloc’s leadership to ensure that every single joule of energy is mobilised ahead of the coming winter’s looming energy crisis.
  • On Monday, Berlin decided to mothball two of its nuclear reactors for months despite a host of experts insisting they continue running, while the third will be shut down completely, to be replaced by floating oil-fired power plants.
