France remained a net exporter despite rising demand, lower nuclear output and limited wind resource.

The European Commission is expected to present amendments to the EU emissions trading scheme rules on 17 July.
The Commission could decide to give industry some breathing room by slightly slowing the pace of emissions reductions required, which would have a moderating effect on CO2 prices.
Whatever measures are announced will in any case be the result of a compromise and should therefore have only a limited effect on carbon price levels, as the Commission must take into account the full range of stakeholder views.
