But those are spot prices for a year from now. If it was just a temporary thing due to nuclear shutdowns, you wouldn't expect prices to be so much higher than Germany, who is presumably much more exposed to gas shortages/price spikes. Though it might have to do with the fact that France has had to temporarily shut down plants because the cooling water from the rivers is too warm, which might be a recurring problem during the summer months going forward, so perhaps they're anticipating this to be an annual occurrence.
