EDF to Cut Nuclear Plant Output
French energy company Electricite de France (EDF) will likely cut production at its Flamanville nuclear power plant from this weekend. The Tricastin facility may also see cuts starting Sunday.
France Relies Heavily on Nuclear Power
France's fleet of 56 reactors provides more than two-thirds of the country's electricity. The country is heavily reliant on nuclear power and has been making an aggressive push to promote it in the European Union. However, there have been ongoing debates about the safety and environmental impact of nuclear power.
Nuclear Power in France and Germany
The decision to cut production at Flamanville comes amid a broader split between France and Germany over nuclear power. President Emmanuel Macron has said France will invest 1 billion euros in nuclear power by the end of this decade, while Germany has been phasing out nuclear power.
