*Including €684 million allocated to dedicated assets at 31 December 2019 (€2,060 million at 31 December 2018).

At 31 December 2019 loans and financial receivables mainly include:

  • amounts representing reimbursements receivable from the NLF and the British government for coverage of long-term nuclear obligations, totalling €13,303 million at 31 December 2019 (€9,220 million at 31 December 2018), discounted at the same rate as the provisions they finance. The increase in the NLF receivable in 2019 is a corollary of the increase in provisions following changes to the cost estimates as explained in note 32.2;
  • the receivable corresponding to the balance of the shortfall in the Contribution to the Public Electricity Service (CSPE) at 31 December 2017 and the costs of bearing that shortfall. Reimbursements of principal and interest during 2019 amounted to €1,399 million, in line with the schedule published in the ministerial orders of 13 May 2016 and 2 December 2016, made in application of Article R. 121-31 of the French Energy Code. This CSPE receivable is allocated in its entirety to dedicated assets;
  • other loans and financial receivables notably include:
    • the overfunding of EDF Energy’s EEGSG and BEGG pension schemes by €1,246 million, compared to €937 million at 31 December 2018;
    • an amount of €230 million representing the advance payments made by Luminus to Synatom to cover long-term nuclear obligations (€203 million at 31 December 2018). In Luminus’ financial statements these amounts are discounted at the same rate as the provisions they fund. This receivable is equal to the fair value of the amounts held by Synatom on behalf of Luminus as fund assets.

The net decrease in loans and financial receivables includes the €(1,376) million change in the CSPE receivable.

Other changes in loans and financial receivables principally correspond to the changes in the financial asset that corresponds to the receivable representing amounts reimbursable by the Nuclear Liabilities Fund (NLF) and the British government (€13,303 million at 31 December 2019 compared to €9,220 million at 31 December 2018), and the surplus funding of EDF Energy’s EEGSG and BEGG pension schemes (€1,246 million at 31 December 2019, compared to €937 million at 31 December 2018).
