Fuel purchases used include costs relating to raw materials for energy generation (principally nuclear fuels and fissile materials, gas to a smaller degree, and a non-significant proportion of coal and oil), purchases of services related to the nuclear fuel cycle, and costs associated with environmental schemes (mainly greenhouse gas emission rights and renewable energy certificates).
“Energy purchases” include purchases made under the purchase obligation mechanism in France.
After elimination of foreign exchange effects and changes in the scope of consolidation, the Group’s fuel and energy purchases were up by €11.4 billion from 2020. The increase principally concerned the following segments: Italy (€4.9 billion, essentially gas purchases), France – Generation and Supply (€2.5 billion essentially electricity purchases), and the United Kingdom (€1.8 billion). The main explanation for the higher amount of purchases is the effect of price rises on the commodity markets.
