(1) The decrease in Edison’s other provisions for decommissioning is essentially explained by the reclassification of the E&P operations as assets held for sale and related liabilities (see notes 2.3 and 46).
(2) Including €83 million of provisions concerning basic nuclear facilities in France.
(3) Including €48 million of provisions concerning basic nuclear facilities of Cyclife France (formerly SOCODEI).

Other provisions for decommissioning principally concern fossil-fired power plants, installations for the production of nuclear fuel assemblies, and dismantling of wind farms.

The costs of decommissioning fossil-fired power plants are calculated using regularly updated studies based on estimated future costs, measured by reference to the charges recorded on past operations and the most recent estimates for plants still in operation.

The provision recorded at 31 December 2019 reflects the most recent known cost estimates and includes rehabilitation costs for generation sites.
