In the course of its business, the EDF group has signed long-term contracts to supply electricity as follows:

  • long-term contracts with a number of European electricity operators, for a specific plant or a defined group of plants in the French nuclear generation fleet, corresponding to installed power capacity of 3.5GW;
  • in execution of France’s “NOME” Law on organisation of the French electricity market, EDF has a commitment to sell some of the energy generated by its existing nuclear power plants to other suppliers, until 31 December 2025. This has concerned a maximum volume of 150TWh each year since 1 January 2020 (see note 5.1.1).
