The estimated impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on personnel expenses in 2020 is €68 million (see note 2.1).
Excluding this impact, the decrease in personnel expenses mainly reflects the lower workforce numbers.
In 2020, personnel expenses include €26 million of additional costs relating to repair work on the main secondary circuit welds in the Flamanville 3 EPR (see note 16 (4)).

(1) In view of France’s Energy and Climate law of 8 November 2019, the ends of the depreciation periods for the Le Havre and Cordemais coal-fired plants were changed at 1 June 2019, setting the closure of Le Havre at 1 April 2021 while Cordemais is to continue operating until 2026, considering a possible conversion to biomass as part of the Ecocombust project. The date for Cordemais could still change depending on the decisions made about the project, which is currently under review by the public authorities. As a result of this change of dates, accelerated depreciation compared to the previous depreciation period is now recognised, amounting to €245 million in 2020 (€139 million in 2019).
(2) This depreciation concerns the Island Energy Systems public electricity distribution concessions, and hydropower concessions.
