EDF's new generation reactor project could experience yet another chronological shift. The first fuel loading must take place this month, before a connection to the network at mid-year.
In 2024, commissioning will take place twelve years late compared to the initial schedule, which was based on 2012. The bill has skyrocketed as a result: it now amounts to 13.2 billion euros, an amount almost quadrupled compared to initial estimates. In Great Britain, the Hinkley Point C site is also undergoing developments.
