However, under severe conditions such as low or very high temperatures or gas-supply crises, the power systems become more stressed, especially if that same period is also critical for neighbouring countries.

The Commission's investigation showed that there were substantial overlaps between the activities of Schneider and Legrand in the markets for electrical switchboards (distribution boards and final panelboards, together with their components, where the combined market share would have been between 40% and 70% depending on the country); wiring accessories (in particular, sockets and switches and fixing and connecting equipment, where combined market shares ranged from 40% to 90%); and certain products for industrial use (industrial pushbuttons and low-voltage transformers) or for more specific applications (for example, emergency lighting) ...[+++].

Considers that an energy policy that places greater emphasis on renewable energy and promotes decentralised energy production and, therefore, the conveyance of electricity over short distances, would make it possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to promote more sustainable regional planning policies less vulnerable to climate disasters, in particular through the prompt burying of all low and medium-voltage electricity lines and the drafting of plans for the systematic burying of high and very high voltage lines;
