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 2021 reflects the most recent known cost estimates and includes rehabilitation costs for generation sites.

Provisions for decommissioning notably include €161 million for Basic nuclear facilities (INB) in France, in the amounts of €97 million for Framatome and €64 million for Cyclife France. Dedicated assets have been set aside to cover these provisions as required by the regulations.

Dedicated assets of Framatome and Cyclife France

The dedicated assets of Framatome and Cyclife France (formerly SOCODEI) relating to Basic nuclear facilities (INB) in France have realisable values of €109 million in Framatome and €63 million in Cyclife France and the degree of coverage of provisions according to the regulations is 111% for Framatome and 98% for Cyclife France (by administrative prescription of 22 November 2021, Cyclife must by the 2022 year-end return to a coverage ratio of at least 100%).
