President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that France was ready to deliver gas to Germany in exchange for electricity this coming winter should the energy crisis make such a move necessary. Macron also said that he supports the implementation of a European-wide contribution scheme to rein in speculative pricing.
Should it come into effect, the proposal would enable Germany to produce more electricity which, in turn, would allow Germany to contribute electricity to the French power grid during peak hours, Macron told reporters after a video call with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday afternoon.
