EXISTING NUCLEAR FLEET AND "GRAND CARÉNAGE" PROGRAMME
A COMPETITIVE
ENERGY MIX
GRAND CARÉNAGE
PROGRAMME
Industrial strategy to continue the operation of plants after 40 years for a competitive energy mix:
•
•
Operational data and markets
Technical capacity of the plants to operate beyond 40 years supported by international benchmarks for similar technologies
Extension from 40 to 50 years of the depreciation period of the 900MW nuclear fleet (except Fessenheim) accounted as of 1 January 2016: the
Tricastin 1 and Bugey 2 (back to the grid on 15 February 2021) reactors are the first to have successfully completed their 4th ten-year inspection
and thereby crossed the 40-year milestone.
Strategy confirmed by the guidelines given by multi-year energy programme (PPE)
Programme integrating the totality of the investments in the existing
nuclear fleet over the 2014-2025 period, and beyond.
• In 2015, initial investment programme on the 2014-2025 period was
estimated at € 201355bn (1) and was optimised and revised to € 201345bn
(€48.2bn in current euros) in 2018.
•
In October 2020 (2), it was adjusted at €49.4bn in current euros on the
same 2014-2025 period. The new cost estimate accounts mainly for the
first findings on the works to be conducted in the context of the ongoing
review process related to the fourth periodic safety review of the Group's
900MW reactors which was concluded with the ASN positive decision
rendered on 23 February 2021. The review focuses on studies,
modification work and initially unplanned additional equipment seeking to
improve safety levels. Moreover, the estimate factors in the expected
increase in the duration of planned maintenance outages including ten-
year and partial inspections. The costing also draws on prior year
experience as well as the impact of the health crisis as estimated in 2020,
applied to 2020-2022 (3).

(1) The figures presented by the French Cour des Comptes in its report of 10 February 2016 cover a longer time horizon, up to 2030, and included, beyond the investment, operating and maintenance expenses. Both assessments are
consistent, as stated by the Cour des Comptes in its report. Indeed, among the overall estimates calculated by the Cour des Comptes and amounting to close to €2013 100 billion for the 2014-2030 period, the investment -expenditures
estimated at € 201374.73 billion should be distinguished from the operating expenditures estimated at €201325.16 billion.
Within the €201374.73 billion of investment expenses between 2014 and 2030, €201355 billion are dedicated to the 2014-2025 period, which allows the two estimates established by the EDF group and the Cour des Comptes to be connected
