Jean-Bernard Lévy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EDF stated:
“The results for the first half of the year reflect the difficulties encountered in nuclear generation in France and, to a lesser extent, in hydropower generation, as well as the effect of the tariff shield introduced in France in 2022.
The operating results of the Group’s other businesses, however, are growing strongly for the most part, particularly as a result of higher and more volatile wholesale prices in Europe. Investments are continuing at a steady pace in order to further strengthen the group’s position as a champion of decarbonisation, on the basis of energy efficiency, nuclear generation and renewable generation. Commercial performance was very good, reflecting the relevance of the offers and the quality of EDF’s relationship with all categories of customers. Despite the strong pressure, all EDF group’s teams are demonstrating a remarkable resilience and a constant commitment to the energy transition.”
