France's re-nationalized electricity company EDF restarted its nuclear power production after fixing problems at its power plants last year. 15 of the 16 nuclear power plants affected by corrosion damage were back in operation at the end of 2023 and work on the last reactor was due to be completed in February.
Nuclear power production increased to 320.4 terawatt hours in 2023. The technical problems and the energy price brake imposed by the state resulted in a loss of 17.9 billion euros for EDF in 2022.
