The development of the Taishan nuclear power plant is a significant milestone in EDF's partnerships building in China. Taishan 1&2 nuclear power plant... EDF has been proud to work with Chinese nuclear operator China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN) on Daya Bay and Ling Ao power plants since 1984.

A number of factors contributed to Taishan 1 being the world's first EPR to go on line: it has benefited from a longstanding strategic partnership between EDF and CGN, from both partners ' experience in the construction and operation of nuclear power plants, and from the support of leading players in both countries ' nuclear sectors.

The first of two EPR reactors at China's Taishan nuclear power plant enters into commercial operation... On Friday 14 th of December 2018, CGN and EDF announced, at a joint press conference in Beijing, that unit 1 of Taishan nuclear power plant had become the world's first EPR to enter into commercial operation.

In Egypt, EDF has built the two thermal power plants Port Said and Suez, emblematic of its contribution to the African development... EDF has just realized a consulting contract with the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) for the enhancement of the efficiency of operation and maintenance of two steam turbine thermal power plants.

In Brasil, Norte Fluminense, a thermoelectric power plant, supplies 22 % of the electricity consumed in Rio . EDF also owns in Brasil 51 % of a 402 MW hydropower plant in Mato Grosso State... EDF Group owns 75 5 % of which is active in the nuclear industry in the North America... The North Fluminense Thermoelectric Power Plant has been one of EDF's main assets in Brazil over the past ten years, demonstrating both impressive industrial and financial performance.

Moreover, this trategic sustainable power project will reduce ADNOC's offshore carbon footprint by more than 30 %, further strengthening its environmental credentials and supporting the UAE ' Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative' Over 50 % of project value will flow back into the UAE's economy under ADNOC's In Country Value Program driving responsible local investment and value creation.

EDF manages the entire nuclear power plant lifecycle. Entirely based upon the fully proven EPR design, the EPR1200 benefits from EPR's robustness at a power output of 1200 MWe (instead of 1650), with the highest standards of safety as well as optimized technical, economic and environmental performance.

As a subcontractor of EDF, Edvance will deliver the engineering and manage the contracting of the nuclear island of the planned power plant. Designing the low-carbon nuclear power of tomorrow. Edvance develops new, safe and efficient nuclear power projects around the world to build a CO 2- neutral future.

In the United Kingdom, there was an organic decrease in sales of 9 8 %, due to the impact of the lower number of residential customer accounts on power and gas sales... 13 2 % organic- 9 8 *135m of UK net power sales on the wholesale electricity markets (excluding trading activities) relating to Q1 2015 have been reclassified from energy purchases to sales In the United Kingdom.

Working alongside the transmission system operator (RTE), and to help provide a continuous supply of power throughout the winter of 2020 2021, a number of nuclear reactors may have to be taken off line this coming summer and autumn in order to save fuel on these power plants. In response to the public-health crisis, EDF has made adjustments to all its activities in order to protect personnel working on its nuclear power plants.

Decommissioning is a normal stage in the life of a nuclear power plant... Phase 1 . Shutdown of the power plant Unloading of the fuel and emptying of the circuits, followed by dismantling and shutdown of non- nuclear installations... In total, 99 9 % of the radioactivity of dismantled sites is removed following withdrawal of the nuclear fuel and emptying of the circuits in Phase 1.

(2) Over the entire industrial cycle, the global average of CO2 emissions per kWh produced by a nuclear power plant is 12g, a level similar to the emissions from a wind turbine- Sourcing. Nuclear power supplies electricity at any time of the day and year... Thanks to nuclear power, the kWh in France costs on average 30 % less than in Western European countries (Germany, Spain, Italy) (1).
