France’s EDF under pressure to end all outages of nuclear reactors

State-controlled utility group has committed to restarting its 32 plants this winter, says energy minister

French energy group EDF has promised to restart all of its 32 nuclear reactors that are currently offline for maintenance and corrosion problems, the French energy minister said, as the government raises pressure on the state-controlled utility to end a spate of outages.

More than half of France’s 56 reactors have been shut in recent months. The shutdowns have weighed on electricity supply across Europe and pushed prices higher just as Russian gas becomes scarce, while turning France into a net power importer over the summer from Britain and other neighbours to whom it usually exports.

French energy minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher said on Friday that EDF aimed to end all of the closures in the coming months.

“EDF has committed to restarting all its reactors for this winter,” Pannier-Runacher told a news conference.
