Mix of nuclear and renewables to decarbonise energy mix “For France, analysis shows that a successful pathway to carbon neutrality in 2050, while maintaining security of supply, avoiding hazardous technological choices, and containing costs, requires a robust share of nuclear capacity.” Image courtesy EDF. The deployment of six new EPR 2 units between 2035 and 2045 would help France meet its climate neutrality targets, while also supporting the accelerated development of renewables, said EDF chairman Jean-Bernard Lévy in an interview for Politico*.

Mr Lévy said the contribution of nuclear power in tackling global warming has been recognised by authoritative organisations like the International Energy Agency and the IPPC (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control).

“To put it plainly, we need nuclear,” he said and added: “For France, analysis shows that a successful pathway to carbon neutrality in 2050, while maintaining security of supply, avoiding hazardous technological choices, and containing costs, requires a robust share of nuclear capacity.”

Nuclear energy has faced serious challenges in recent years because of several factors: competition from low gas prices, subsidised renewables and slow growth in electricity demand in certain markets. But because of several powerful forces we are seeing signs that this year nuclear energy will come roaring back, writes Jarret Adams.
