At the end of 2019, the Group also has an installed capacity for electricity generation of 33.5GW (with 129TWh of electricity generated in 2019):
The electricity generated by EDF in France from its fleet of nuclear power plants represented 89.8% of its total electricity generation in 2019 excluding pumped storage hydropower.
EDF’s PWR model is divided into three series of available electrical power:
for a total of 58 units spread over 19 sites owned by EDF, and constituting a total authorised capacity of 63,130MW as at 31 December 2019. With an average age of approximately 34 years, EDF’s nuclear fleet is about average compared to the fleets installed worldwide.

Of note in 2019 is the success of ten-year inspection no. 4 (VD4) on the Tricastin unit (see section 1.4.1.1.5 “Preparing for the future of the nuclear fleet in France”). The unit was decoupled on 1 June 2019 and diverged after the ten-year inspection on 19 December 2019. The VD2 ten-year inspection of the Chooz B2 unit, decoupled on 15 March 2019 and re-coupled after the ten-year visit on 6 August 2019, was also successful.
