Several tons of jellyfish packed the seawater filters at a nuclear plant on France's northern coast, and three reactors shut down automatically
Jellyfish clogged cooling-water filters at a French nuclear plant, forcing three reactors to shut down and reducing electricity output.

Starting from Electricite de France S.A. (EDF), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Electricite de France S.A. (EDF) →Shortage riskIndustrial electricity (high-voltage)EDF
The reactor shutdown reduces EDF's generation capacity, so the high-voltage industrial electricity stream it supplies becomes tighter; the effect is meaningful but moderated by partial substitutability and only a 5% market share.
91% confidenceElectricite de France S.A. (EDF) →Shortage riskElectricity (electrolytic refining)EDF
EDF's lost nuclear output also constrains the electricity stream used for electrolytic refining, but this is a smaller and somewhat more substitutable sub-market.
