French term or phrase: mise en réserve froide
XX possède plusieurs centrales qui arrivent à leur fin de durée de vie. Certaines de ces centrales sont probablement trop obsolètes pour pouvoir économiquement être réfectionnées. Toutefois, des centrales comme C6 et C7 peuvent être réfectionnées et, dans ce sens, un plan de réfection de centrale associé à un diagnostic des groupes permettrait à moindre coût de retarder leur mise en réserve froide.

An energy company reacted to unfavorable market conditions by shutting down one of its gas turbine power plants, putting it into cold reserve status. In contrast to dismantling, this operating mode made it possible to reactivate a plant to ensure power supply during periods of high demand. A short-term return to the cold reserve mode remained an option in the case that the energy market again deteriorated.

mothballing


Explanation:
This is a general term used in all sorts of situations like this — but particularly suitable in this particular context, where it appears to be something regarded as undesirable that they'd like to avoid, or delay, if possible.

I actually suspect the temr is possibly being used incorrectly here, since by the sound of it, these plants are not currently producing, but might perhaps be considered as already in 'réserve froide'; what they are talking about here appears to be one stage even further removed from that level of operability.

disagree  GILLES MEUNIER: mothballing signifie mise sous cocon, ce n'est pas le même contexte ici

  -> I'm no so sure of that; from the way it is described in the context, it sounds a lot more like this; but of course more explicit context would help.
