A small electricity generator on the Tarn above Albi has been destroyed in a fire overnight. Nobody was harmed and the river has not been polluted according to EDF.
The central produces about 4gw/hours of power per annum, so quite a small contribution to overall needs, but EDF says that hydro can produce power quickly at peak times. No reason for the fire has been given, but pompiers favour an electrical fault.
