EDF: Operators today can barely cover their variable costs

EDF CEO Jean-Bernard Lévy’s claim that “operators today can barely cover their variable costs” highlights the challenge nuclear utilities are facing in the energy market – they are forced to sell their electricity at a loss.

Driving down utility’s variable costs, the Nuclear Power Plant Optimisation Summit Europe (14-15 April, Brussels) is the industry’s answer to falling power prices and renewable subsidies.
