With the war in Ukraine, there is a hazard of electricity shortages. The governing administration does not conceal it, it asks for sobriety to prevent cuts. As for electric power, what will come about to an party like the Montauban Lantern Festival? Is it additional energy-intense than a soccer match in the stadium? We answer you.
The Interceltic Pageant of Lorient 2022 –
The specific contours of the vitality sobriety prepare wanted by Emmanuel Macron are not but regarded. One particular factor is specified, the situation is probable to be strained for electrical energy usage mainly because a number of nuclear electricity plants are partly or thoroughly shut.
A weakening of creation, blended with a harsh winter, could very properly disrupt the lifetime of the French and in the initially spot that of several events. We enlighten you.
Following 3 decades in Gaillac, then one particular in Blagnac, the Lantern Competition lands in Montauban from 1 December to 5 February 2023.
This Friday, September 9, at the push convention, every person desired to be reassuring. According to the former mayor of Gaillac Patrice Gausserand, who owns the exclusive rights to this party in Europe, “the Competition is 80,000 LEDs consuming in between 230 and 250 kWh for every working day. We will cut down use: we go from 350 kWh of Blagnac to 250 kWh of Montauban “.

Previous calendar year, the electric power invoice for the Blagnac city hall was practically 30,000 euros, a appreciable cost. The president of Magazine Conseil, who owns the legal rights to this regular Chinese celebration, makes sure that anything is carried out to take in as minimal as doable, that the LEDs are of the latest era and pretty affordable. Even so, if there is a constraint, he will have to post to it: lessen the number of times of the party? Does it shut at 22:00? Don’t you convert all the things on?
The co-producer of this event for which far more than 400,000 tickets ended up offered final year needs to reassure: “you want an firm that is up to the problems. If it is required to shut, we will see what demands to be tailored at the acceptable time.
By way of relative comparison, the electricity monthly bill for Christmas lights would be 5,000 euros for the 2 months. And due to the fact Patrice Gausserand refers to it, what about football matches?
The Ligue 1 championship resumed in early August. At the dawn of this new time, Sport Minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra experienced hinted at the probability of matches getting played solely in the afternoon at the finish of the yr to save funds.
We requested the degree of electric power use for a match at the Stadium from the metropolis corridor of Toulouse, proprietor of the stadium.
The electricity usage of the Stadium throughout a match is on average in between 5,000 and 8,000 kWh dependent on the context and the time.
Press service of the Toulouse metropolis hall
As for the Stade de France, the figure of 100,000kWh consumed through a match proposed by Patrice Gausserand is found in numerous polls. An night at the Lantern Pageant would consequently take in 300 periods much less vitality than a football match in Saint-Denis for French soccer or rugby groups.
But the Toulouse Stadium is not the Stade de France nor the Parc des Princes, the PSG enclosure. In accordance to the Selectra-facts sitethat is about 37,000 kWh to light-weight the pitch on your own at each recreation, or about 7 situations the yearly usage of a French relatives.
So we should ban athletics competitions at night this winter season to help save lighting how does the minister recommend?
Through the to start with match at the Stadium in between TFC and OGC Nice, lovers could see that the spotlights were being on. Tiny clarification: the video game was using place in the middle of a heat wave and … at 13.00
We will have to not indict the TFC or the Toulouse metropolis hall on this because the situation of lights a soccer pitch is a issue for the specialist football league. Lights is in all probability vital to guarantee superior television broadcasting. But for at the time, scheduling matches at 1pm won’t clear up a lot in conditions of electrical power savings.
Anyone who does not go out this winter nonetheless dangers suffering from a lack of vitality. “To govern is to foresee” and according to our details, the prefectures of Occitania have been operating on an motion strategy in the party of a blackout this winter. It is a specific analyze for every single office, each and every metropolis, every single district to detect, among the other matters, people today who have to have electrical power for healthcare motives (artificial respirator for illustration). Upstream avoidance operates as it is, in anticipation of heat waves, storms or viral outbreaks.
