Europe readies for solar eclipse dip in power generation

European energy operators are braced for next week’s solar eclipse to cause a temporary dip in power generation and have taken steps to keep electricity flowing to businesses and consumers, an industry body said Friday.

Every August we are treated to one of the best meteor showers of the year: the Perseids. But this year, during the day of the peak, much of Canada will also get a partial solar eclipse.
