France's EDF will own a 12.5% stake in the future Sizewell C nuclear plant in the UK.

The French electricity giant will oversee the construction of British reactors at the plant.

London hopes to complete the project's funding round over the summer.

Die aktuelle #Hitzewelle in #Europa zwingt #Frankreich dazu, mehrere Atomkraftwerke herunterzufahren. Der französische Stromkonzern #EDF meldete am Montag die Abschaltung seines #AKW Golfech, weil das Kühlwasser aus der Garonne zu warm wurde. Auch im #Atomkraftwerk Blayais musste die Leistung reduziert werden, um die Umwelt nicht weiter aufzuheizen.

Kudos to the Environmental Defense Fund (#EDF, @edf) for using the Freedom of Information Act (#FOIA) to obtain the latest greenhouse gas inventory from the Environment Protection Agency (#EPA), and making it #OpenAccess.

"As a party to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the United States is obligated to submit a national greenhouse gas emissions inventory report by April 15 each year. This year, for the first time in nearly three decades, the U.S. failed to meet that obligation and did not publicly release a greenhouse gas inventory."

Here's the OA inventory itself.

The UK is in talks to buy back nuclear sites from French firm EDF.

The UK government is in talks with its French counterparts about purchasing back three nuclear sites from state-owned energy giant EDF, as Whitehall looks to take control of the upcoming expansion of nuclear power.

The move would come as the UK mulls the most ambitious revival of nuclear power in a generation.

Yesterday I published a video exposing #EDF Energy's latest ad campaign for implying they're ramping up #renewables when in fact they're decreasing #renewable input by more than half relative to the UK's current usage.

I've reported it to the Advertising Standards Authority. You can copy and paste my complaint from the blog post below if you'd like to as well (link and instructions also included). 👇

Ethical RevolutionEDF Energy Ad Campaign Exposed - Ethical RevolutionAre you an EDF energy customer? No, allow me to widen that net: Have you seen any of EDF energy’s mid-late 2024 advertisement campaign? If so you might be forgiven for thinking they’re changing their ways and looking to spearhead a revolution in renewables. I decided to dig a little deeper to find out if ...... Read on ...

Another reason why there never will be a #NuclearPower industry in Australia ... the bacteria that is #LOTO is would like the #Australian public to fund the construction - such a wonderful investment if you get your kicks by watching money burn!

There’s a cautionary tale out of the UK this morning for those who advocate building #nuclear power stations in Australia.

#EDF, the French energy company and nuclear specialist, is reportedly in talks with investors to raise up to £4bn – that’s almost $8bn AUD – just to finish the delayed #HinkleyPointC project in Somerset, Britain’s first new nuclear reactors in a generation.

The cost of the project has ballooned to almost £50bn – nearly $100bn AUD – due in part to supply chain issues and struggles securing skilled engineers, according to Bloomberg. And now EDF wants investors to cough up more.
