The Cordemais coal-fired power station (Loire-Atlantique) will produce electricity for two more years.
In a letter addressed to the union federations of the group, the CEO of EDF, Jean-Bernard Lévy, indicated that EDF has decided to end the conversion project of the site called “Ecocombust”, as revealed by Les Echos.
This plant will be used "at the margin", to meet the needs of the West region, "during peaks of consumption in winter, for a few dozen to a few hundred hours per year at most", specifies the ministry, which confirms its exit strategy from coal.
The law in 2019 had recorded the closure in 2022 of the last four coal-fired power stations in the country, the most harmful fuel for the climate.
Two of them have already closed and another is due to shut down next year.
