it was 70% in 2021 not 50%. so you can take my sample and apply the reduce to 20% if you want and get the same outcome: it still sends the signal that they going away from nuclear. any kind of shareholder would vote against investing in the field… dont understand what you dont understand there.



Yeah, that's a typo, 70%, as you can see from the rest of my comment about the fact that with the increasing electricity consumption it's barely a reduction in net terms.

So it's not reducing by 20%, it's "with projected growth it will only account for 50% instead of 70%, so capacity will stay roughly the same, only refreshed".

And again, shareholders don't matter, EDF has always been majority state owned.

So I don't understand what you don't understand there. There was barely any reduction to speak of, a full refresh was needed anyways due to age, and was planned for the future 50% of the grid, and private shareholders were never asked.


edf is owned by the french government the french government says they moving away from investing in the future of nuclear; the media permanently relayed it, you the CEO of EDF. what would you do? shareholders matter when i say shareholders I mean all shareholder including one of the majority owner, not even talking about the fact that germany and EU permanently pushed for more privatization of energy and constantly undermined nuclear in the EU. 5 years ago macron main goal was to CLOSE 15 reactors. after 5 years he wants to open guess how many? 15 reactors. I mean you can turn around the issue but he needs to be held accountable
