BEYOND NUCLEAR

23rd May 2014

President Francois Hollande has promised to lower France’s dependence on nuclear power to 50% by 2025, from 75% currently. Initially, the target was expected to require the closure of plants, but it appears that demand growth will be the main cause. Electricite de France (EDF) CEO Henri Proglio encouraged French lawmakers to rein in efforts by government to cut reliance on nuclear in light of that likely growth. Pictured above is an EDF employee walking in a tunnel inside the dam of Bort-les-Orgues, a hydroelectric power plant operated by the company.
