PARIS (Reuters) - French utility EDF (PA:EDF) said on Friday that a strike at its 580 megawatt (MW) Cordemais 5 coal-fired power plant will continue until Feb. 4, reducing power output.
Production at Cordemais 5 was currently zero, it said in a website update.
Workers have been protesting against plans to shut the coal-powered unit as part of a government pledge to exit electricity production from coal. The government this week said it will study the possibility of converting Cordemais' coal power generators to burn biomass.
