EDF shares its estimates of nuclear generation in France for the next three years.
The estimate of nuclear power generation in France for 2026 and 2027 remains unchanged at 350-370TWh- 1- -
EDF nuclear generation in France for 2028 is estimated between 345-375TWh(1). This estimate includes increased uncertainties on the evolution of demand and anticipation of modulation of the nuclear reactors.
This nuclear power generation estimate is based on a substantial maintenance programme, which includes the completion of the latest fourth ten-year inspections of the 900MW reactors and the start of the fourth ten-year inspections of the 1,300MW reactors in 2026.
Furthermore, the teams are committed to ensuring a production capacity of over 400TWh per year.
