For some time now, many countries that design reactors have been considering the development of plants with a power range of less than 200 MWe ." Technology Uncovered" explains these reactors that enable more compact and modular designs and which are known as SMRs (Small Modular Reactors) . The emergence of renewable energy sources, as well as new uses of electricity (heat pumps, electric vehicles), the management of consumption peaks and the desire to constantly improve service quality have led to the development of new smart systems, particularly within distribution networks .

A highly-efficient and well-balanced fleet of power plants enables it to produce energy with optimum mix ranging from combined cycle gas-fired, hydro and other renewable energy sources. The current generation fleet consists of 72 hydroelectric plants, 19 thermoelectric plants, 35 wind farms, 5 solar plants and 1 biomass plant.

For 70 years, EDF has been designing, building, renovating and operating one of Europe's largest hydroelectric plants... In mainland France, EDF is seeking to increase the performance of existing power plants by modernising them (euros 370 million invested in 2018), while also developing storage capacity and small hydroelectric plants.

EDF supports the Middle East with its expertise in carbon capture, combined cycle gas plants, open cycle gas turbine plants, steam driven power plants, adaptation and repowering of existing power plants... EDF Group is accelerating its development in the low-carbon hydrogen, with the aim of becoming a major player in the Middle East, focusing on the industry and mobility sectors.

Used since man's discovery of fire, biomass refers to all organic matter of plant or animal origin that can become an energy source, mainly through combustion or methanisation... With this technology, fuel (mainly wood, waste from wood processing industries and agricultural plant waste) is fed directly into heating systems capable of producing either heat alone or electricity and heat simultaneously (co- generation).

EDF is responsible for the site's development, its maintenance during the plant's operation and its reclamation, as well as managing the recycling of the panels through PV Cycle. Solar plan, listening to local stakeholders.

Details on the technical and financial feasibility of dismantling EDF's nuclear power plants in France... The fact finding commission of the French National Assembly's sustainable development and planning committee today presented a report looking at the technical and financial feasibility of dismantling basic nuclear installations.

fossil-fired plants, which play an essential role in security of supply: the period is marked by the shutdown of plants operating on fuel oil. renewable energies: some of the existing hydro assets will be modernized; regarding new renewable energies, EDF will accelerate its development and expand its range of solutions deployed, from on-shore wind to off-shore wind, from tidal turbines to biomass cogeneration and geothermal energy.

EDF is the world's largest operator of nuclear power plants (NPP) benefiting from a broad experience in project development and international cooperation, and has outstanding expertise in the field of the ' nuclear industry' and has been developing nuclear power plants in France and abroad on the basis of the EDF group's integrated organization, engineering skills and lessons learned.

The operation covers four plants in operation (66 MW net), one plant under construction (40 MW net) and an extensive portfolio of projects under development. Energy services: at the end of 2017, the Group was granted extension of its concession in the town of Sanmenxia (province of Henan), where EDF has been operating an optimised district heating network, based on recovery of heat from fossil-fuel power plants, in partnership with the Datang electricity company (35 %) since 2016 . After extension, the district heating network will supply 2 million square metres of town housing .
