Estimated nuclear generation in France
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.
