Abstract
The structure of the electricity supply in the Ile-de-France region and particularly in Paris is recalled. The region is so densely populated that a presentation of the effects of a flood like the one in 1910 on Paris electricity network and on our customers will be carried out. This presentation will show the consequences of such a flood, as also the dispositions taken as a prevention, during the flood, and after it.
In Ile-de-France and in Paris, the main consequence of a flood like in 1910 will be the loss of power for 550,000 customers, i.e. approximately 900,000 inhabitants.
The objectives of Electricité de France in case of a flood like that will be:
- to confine at the maximum the losses of power to the flooded areas,
- to set up as many means of supplying power as possible (generating sets, provisional electricity network...),
- to manage in real time the information on flood levels,
- to keep in touch with the crisis management team set up by the authorities,
- to inform our customers on the evolution of their situation by all the possible means.
