EDF agents were 44,5% to strike Thursday. They proceeded to cuts in electricity production, in dams and nuclear power plants, reaching at least the equivalent of twice the consumption of Paris.
The power available on the nuclear fleet was 63% of capacity at noon, against 72% normally expected, according to EDF data analyzed by AFP.
As for the refineries, the CGT TotalEnergies had between 70 and 100% of strikers, on most of the group's sites.
According to a first point from the CGT, there were 100% strikers in the morning shifts for the La Mède biorefinery, the Flandres fuel depot, near Dunkirk, and the Carling petrochemical plant (Moselle).
The Donges refinery (Loire-Atlantique) had 95% of strikers and that of Normandy 80%, while the teams at the Feyzin refinery (Rhône) were on strike at more than 70%, according to the CGT.

Thursday at 9:30 a.m., 1,95% of stations were short of at least one fuel, according to public data analyzed by AFP. Monday, they were 3,75% to be affected, due to precautionary purchases before the strike day.

Transport
The strike was very popular in transport with almost no regional trains, few TGVs, a slow-moving metro in Paris and a very underserved large suburb.
Regional traffic was almost stopped with 1 TER out of 10 on average and an almost identical frequency for the Transilien lines - Paris suburban trains - and some RER.
The strike rate at SNCF was 46,3%, including 77,4% of passenger train drivers, according to union sources.
Despite these disruptions, road traffic in the Ile-de-France remained fluid, according to the Sytadin site, operated by the Ile-de-France Roads Department.
At the port of Calais in northern France, there was no traffic due to a strike by port officers scheduled until 17 p.m., port communication said.
In Lyon, a computer failure paralyzed the four metro lines on Thursday morning. Two lines had resumed at the start of the morning, but not the automatic lines B and D, which the operator was unable to replace with a relay bus because of the social movement.
In the automotive sector, more than a hundred employees of the Stellantis factory in Rennes-la Janais went on strike, according to the CGT.
