So it is cold in Western Europe this week as was two weeks ago, the paleo-power-geeks of year 2050 will analyse weather and power data, France having the most electric heating will help them.
Let me help them now : 80GW peak consumption is a nice threshold of peak consumption

When has 80 GW been reached this fall, how does it compare with other years ?
Think about it for a second, plenty of information there.

So the answer is : not yet. If is not tonight, will be tomorrow.
Last time that landmark was reached later : 2009.
For those who have followed the market, looks strange, is it not ?
In October 2009, highest price ever in France (full spot allocation failed)

But just like 2019, 2009 had poor nuke (way, way better than this year though +5GW on av.).
So ?
In both cases, saved by the weather (rain this year).
To add for 2019, shows a trend of drop in demand.
In 2010, top demand was 92 GW at this time of year.
