EDF Energy has agreed to a request to reduce output from its Sizewell B nuclear plant in the east of England to help balance the grid amid low power demand due to COVID-19, the company told ...
EDF's strategic target is for a 20-year life extension for Sizewell B PWR, beyond the current accounting closure date of 2035. [22] This would mean the plant remaining in operation until 2055. EDF reaffirmed this plan in December 2024. [23] As of 2022, the power station is still planned to close in 2035. [24]
In 2015, the plant received upgrades and was given a second ten-year life extension to 2028. In September 2018, as both units were shut down for a scheduled maintenance outage, EDF encountered "significant and ongoing technical challenges" which ultimately led to the announcement of its closure on 7 June 2021.
French power group EDF has begun examination of a potential issue linked to a build-up of inert gases at its nuclear power station in China, though the company and its Chinese partner said the ...

The Cordemais Power Station is a thermal power station in France. It has two coal-fired units with a capacity of 600 MW each. It previously had three oil-fired units; a 585 MW generating unit that was decommissioned in 1996 and two 700 MW generating unit decommissioned in 2017 and 2018 [1]

The proposal for the Moorside site includes the construction of a large scale nuclear power plant with two EPR units, replicating Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, for a total capacity of 3.2 GWe. It is hoped to lower construction costs and reduce construction times thanks to the experience gained during the construction of the two sister plants.
