EDF and TotalEnergies have concluded a strategic agreement for the supply of nuclear electricity over twelve years, starting in 2028. This contract aims to secure the energy supply of the French refining and chemical sites of the TotalEnergies group, which are major consumers of electricity.
The agreement stipulates that EDF will supply a portion of the electricity generated by its nuclear fleet, covering approximately 60% of the electricity needs of the facilities concerned, or nearly 400 megawatts. This low-carbon energy source is intended to provide greater cost predictability and ensure stable supply.
A lever for industrial competitiveness
This type of long-term contract allows EDF to secure its revenue in a context of massive investments to revive the nuclear sector. It also meets the government's objective of supporting the competitiveness of French industries in the face of volatile energy prices.
For TotalEnergies, this agreement is part of a strategy to reduce the carbon footprint of its activities while ensuring the long-term viability of its sites in France. More broadly, it illustrates the growing role of nuclear power in the energy transition and industrial sovereignty.
