The current sthn. European heat wave will, obviously, increase the need for air cons.- thus general power consumption will rise significantly.
Only gas & coal-fired power stations can guarantee cheap, reliable, baseload power.
In heat wave conditions, wind power often diminishes (because often heat waves are associated with below average wind; &/or power authorities "derate"/reduce the power from turbines, fearing heat damage/seizing up to the gear box & generator mechanisms, & transformers can explode).
bbc.com J. Gregory 13.7.23 said"A heatwave is sweeping across parts of southern Europe and north-west Africa, with potential record-breaking temperatures in the coming days.
Temperatures are expected to surpass 40C (104F) in parts of Spain, France, Greece, Croatia and Turkey.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66183069In Italy, temperatures could reach as high as 48.8C (119.8F). A red alert warning has been issued for 10 cities, including Florence and Rome".
