Le financement du programme EPR2 reposera sur un « prêt de l’Etat bonifié couvrant au moins la moitié des coûts de construction », a fait savoir la présidence dans un communiqué.
The French government now anticipates the first of its EPR2 nuclear reactors will be operational by 2038 instead of 2035. The construction will be financed through a state-backed loan covering at least half of the costs, with a guaranteed electricity price of €100/MWh. The government plans to build six reactors at existing sites, starting with Penly.
