Philippe Sasseigne, head of EDF nuclear power of EDF, recently revealed that EDF plans to phase out nuclear reactors
from 2029.
Philippe Sasseigne said, "Our goal is to keep our other reactors running for 50 years, which means that our first nuclear reactors will be shut down
in 2029.
From 2029 to 2035, some reactors are expected to shut down
to meet 50 years of operation.
”
The French government approved an energy transition programme in 2015 with the goal of reducing the share of nuclear energy in the energy mix from the current 75 per cent to 50 per cent
by 2025.
However, incumbent President Emmanuel Macron has delayed that timeline
.
French Energy and Environment Minister Nicolas Hulot is holding a public debate on energy policy to reduce France's reliance
on nuclear power generation.
The government is engaging with industry, experts and renewable energy activists ahead of the publication of the first draft of the multi-year energy plan at the end of June
.
Sasseigne told reporters, "If we have to shut down nuclear reactors in 2024-2025, then we have to ask ourselves whether it is necessary to make these costly upgrades
.
" ”
EDF and the French government had agreed to close the Fessenheim nuclear power plant, the oldest nuclear power plant in France, but by the time the new Flamanville 3 nuclear reactor was already in operation
.
There are no other closure plans
yet.
