Taishan 1, world's first EPR connected to the grid. Taishan 1, world's first EPR connected to the grid... On the 29th of June at 17: 59 local time, Taishan 1 reactor located in China became the first EPR* reactor in the world to be successfully connected to the grid... It is operated by TNPJVC, a joint venture established between CGN (51 %), EDF (30 %) and the provincial Chinese electricity company Yuedian (19 %) . The construction of Taishan 1 began in 2009, whilst that of Taishan 2 began in 2010 . These two units were respectively the third and fourth EPR reactors to have started being built worldwide.

The combined operation of photovoltaic and CSP* technologies increases the plant's output to produce a flexible, dispatchable and competitive electricity for the Moroccan grid until five hours after sunset. The plant will be located 20km north of the town of Midelt in central Morocco, in the high plains surrounding the Moulouya River and between the Middle and High Atlas Mountains .

Taishan's two reactors are capable of supplying the Chinese power grid with up to 24 TWh of CO2-free electricity a year, tantamount to the annual electricity consumption of 5 million Chinese users, whilst at the same time preventing the emission of 21 million tons of CO2 a year. The Taishan project is led by TNPJVC, a joint-venture founded by CGN (51 %), EDF (30 %) and the Chinese utility Guangdong Energy Group (19 %) . The EDF Group and its subsidiary Framatome supplied the EPR technology for the plant .

EDF, Enedis and the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have launched the MASERA microgrid project (Microgrid for Affordable and Sustainable Electricity in Remote Areas), as part of the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) and the 2018 France Singapore Year of Innovation.

The 49 MW battery storage facility located at West Burton B power station is the largest project in the new frequency control system which will be deployed across the UK to improve stability of the national grid. Against the backdrop of extensive development of renewable energy generation and the closure of ageing power plants, battery storage technology supports stability of the grid and can be used for rapid response to fluctuations in grid frequency.

It is aligned with Vietnam's energy diversification policy while fulfilling a dual purpose: meeting the growing demand for electricity and reducing the proportion of coal in Vietnam's energy mix (34 %) in favour of gas and renewables... EDF has also conducted feasibility surveys for the power transmission grid in Cambodia and Thailand, the construction of a 140- km high-voltage line in Laos, and optimised design studies for the Indonesian grid.

EDF China R&D Center provides support for sustainable city numerical model, renewable energy, smart grid as well as charging system for electrical vehicle, in order to bring technical support both to the Group and our Chinese partners... In 2017, EDF signed a concession contract with the municipality of Lingbao (Henan province) to build and operate a to supply heating and electricity to local households and industrial areas.
