POWER
EdF has raised its nuclear power output target for 2024 to 358-364TWh, compared with a range of 340-360TWh previously forecast, remit data showed, meaning French nuclear output could rise at the highest since 2019, when output totalled 379.5TWh.
- That would be up from 320.4TWh in 2023, EdF data showed.
- If ending at the bottom of the range, French nuclear output this year would be at the highest since 2021, while output would be at the highest since 2019, if ending at the top of the range.
- French nuclear output stood at 292TWh at the end of October, EdF data showed.
- French nuclear generation so far this month on 1-10 December stood at an average of 47.61GW, RTE data showed.
- French nuclear output at 53.19GW this week and at 54.29GW and 54.59GW in calendar week 51 and 52, consecutively, according to Reuters.
- In 2023, output stood at 27.6TWh in November at 31.5TWh in December, EdF data showed.
- BNEF forecasted at the start of this month French nuclear power generation to average 351TWh this year – below EdF’s latest projections.
