powerful, safe and efficient
Powerful, safe and efficient, nuclear power forms the basis of EDF’s power generation business. Not only does it make France independent in terms of energy supply, but also generates power without producing any greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, its plants have a high capacity rate and electricity prices are amongst the most competitive in Europe. The construction of a new EPR unit at Flamanville is part of the EDF Group’s industrial project.
