107、y transitionThe fight against climate change is the challenge of our generation.While current policies projections would lead to a warming of+2.4C in 2100(1),it is now recognised that to limit this warming to1.5C and uphold the Paris Agreements,it is essential to achieveglobal carbon neutrality by 2
108、050.In Europe,the“Green Deal”developed in2020 and the“Fitfor55”climate package proposed by the European Commission provide theframework of measures enabling the European Union to achievecarbon neutrality by2050.Recovery programmes in the wake of theCovid-19 health crisis have made climate issues an
109、even higherpriority.Similarly,the“REPowerEU”programme announced in2022by the European Commission to address disruptions in the globalenergy market caused by the war in Ukraine adds the challenges ofresilience,sovereignty and maintaining the competitiveness of thisenergy transition.The related nation
110、al programmes focus onreducing CO2 emissions as a priority,and as competitively aspossible,drawing on a locally-rooted industrial vision.In France,electricity accounts for just over 12%of CO2 emissions(2)(39%(2)at a global level).Frances Climate and Energy Law of8November2019 places the reduction of
111、 greenhouse gas emissionsat the heart of French energy policy.The goal is now“to becomecarbon-neutral by2050 by cutting greenhouse gas emissions morethan sixfold”.Frances multi-year energy programme(Programmationpluriannuelle de lnergie,PPE),which lists the broad outlines ofFrench energy policy,sets
112、 out a 10-year vision,which is vital formajor industrial players.To achieve these objectives,the major levers of action are:lowering energy consumption by developing energy efficiencysolutions and incentivising energy sobriety;andshifting from fossil fuels to low-carbon energies,prioritisinglow-carb
113、on electricity and renewable heat.The transition to a carbon-free economy should also preservehouseholds purchasing power and the competitiveness ofcompanies,whilst ensuring secure energy supplies and energysovereignty.Innovation,both upstream and downstream,will be an essentialfactor for successful
114、ly achieving these goals.1.3.2Strategic priorities EDFs raison dtre is“To build a net zero energy future withelectricity and innovative solutions and services,to help save theplanet and drive well-being and economic development”.It wasincluded in the Companys articles of association at the end of th
115、eGeneral Shareholders Meeting of 7May 2020 and is part of theGroups strategy.Today,EDF is the worlds leading producer of low-carbonelectricity(3).For each kWh produced,EDF emits six times less CO2than the average amount for European utilities(251 gCO2/kWh(4)andhas set itself even more ambitious emis
116、sion reduction targets:in2030,EDF will have reduced its direct emissions by 70%comparedto 2017;in 2035,the reduction in its direct emissions will be 80%.The carbon intensity of the electricity produced by the Group will be30 gCO2/kWh in 2030 and will drop to 22 gCO2/kWh in 2035.EDF isalso committed
117、to reducing its indirect emissions by 28%in 2030compared to 2019.The global context validates the role of low-carbon electricity and supports EDFs strategyThe EDF group,as a responsible operator and supplier,is assumingits role as a major player in the ecological transition and energysovereignty.Fro
118、m the construction and operation of nuclear,hydro,solar,wind and thermal power plants,to the development andoperation of electrical networks,to the marketing and support ofcustomers to achieve energy savings,the Group is present in everylink of the value chain in France and abroad.EDF stands alongsi

126、he Groups core development scope in Europe is the“G4”,comprising France,Italy,Belgium and the United Kingdom.In thesecountries,EDF is present as a key player in electricity generation,aswell as having a significant customer portfolio in each country.Building on its strong local roots,EDF is developi
127、ng a range of supplyoffers and solutions and services to achieve the decarbonisation ofits customers in a manner best suited to local energy policy choices.In the rest of the world,outside of the“G4”,the Group mainlydevelops through business models without exclusive control of theasset,with an indus
128、trial role enabling it to capitalise on the Groupsexperience.EDF will look for growth drivers by engaging in profitableprojects in growing markets,exporting its recognised expertise tocountries seeking practical solutions for a successful energytransition.EDF can thus compare best practices with lea
129、dingpartners in competitive markets,while also developing newindustrial skills and accelerating its ability to innovate,from both atechnological and contractual standpoint.At the Group level,project risks are thus diversified.A new(post-ARENH)market modelAt a press conference held on 14 November 202
130、3,Bruno Le Maire,Agns Pannier-Runacher and Luc Rmont announced that they hadreached an agreement between the French State and EDF,layingthe foundations for the new organisation of the French market thatwill succeed the Regulated Access to Nuclear Electricity(Accsrgul llectricit nuclaire historique A
131、RENH)system as of 1January 2026.These guidelines would be intended to be included in a bill to bepresented in 2024.The new market organisation aims to develop medium and long-term products in order to offer consumers a wider choice ofcontracts allowing them to protect themselves from short-termprice
132、 volatility and to encourage investments in low-carbonproduction.As part of its new commercial policy,EDF sells annual“ribbons”with maturities of 4 to 5 years at auction,enabling EDF and allelectricity suppliers to offer contracts that provide visibility andstability to customers over these time hor
133、izons.In this context,EDFnow offers its customers medium-term retail supply offers of up tofive years.In addition,EDF offers certain electricity-intensive customers long-term industrial partnership contracts,with a minimum period of10years,backed by the historical nuclear fleet(nuclear generationall
134、ocation contracts).In order to provide additional protection to customers in the eventof high prices,the public consultation document on the draftprotection system for electricity consumers,dated 23 November2023,provides in particular for the payment by EDF of acontribution comprising a share of the
135、 net annual energy revenuesof nuclear power plants when they exceed a certain level.Morespecifically,the proposed system would be based on twothresholds from which contributions on the revenues of the nuclearfleet are to be made:a first activation threshold assessed at thedate of the consultation at
136、 202278/MWh,and a second threshold setat 2022110/MWh,giving rise to two contribution rates of 50%and90%(1)respectively.Supporting our customers to reduce their carbon footprintIndividuals,companies and local authorities are increasingly strivingto change the way they light,heat,produce,consume,trave

157、solutions to electrify industrial processes,recover waste heat and produce renewable heating through itssubsidiary Dalkia,and produce decarbonised electrolytic hydrogen.It leverages the expertise of its R&D for its industrial customers tosupport them in the evolution of their production facilities(e
158、lectricfurnaces and boilers,etc.).It also offers(via its subsidiary AgregioSolutions)the valorisation of flexibilities in the electricity systemand green supply offers.The aim of these solutions is for EDF to avoid the emission of over30 million tonnes of CO2 by2030(1)among its customers:by helping
159、its residential customers,businesses,and localauthorities to play a more substantial role in their energyconsumption(through self-consumption,digital consumptionmanagement solutions);by encouraging,in addition,its customers to consume with moresobriety by sharing advice on virtuous daily habits(the
160、eco-gestures),such as lowering the heating to 19C,by invitingcustomers who are able to do so to shift consumptions awayfrom peak hours for the electricity system or by providing themwith tools to understand their consumption(“EDF&Moi”app).These messages were highlighted in a widespread advertisingca
161、mpaign launched in October2022 by EDF called“I lower,I turnoff,I shift”.EDF is enhancing the value of its customer portfolio in“G4”countries(France,the United Kingdom,Belgium and Italy).To do soit relies on its top-notch customer relations and a broad range ofservice offers and solutions,particularl
162、y in sustainable energyperformance for the residential or business markets.Innovation is an essential component of the road ahead to helpcustomers in their transition,given the speed at which technologiesare advancing today,from renewables to storage,including electricvehicles,hydrogen and digital d
163、evelopment.Building on its own R&D efforts and its innovation ecosystemdeveloped with its partners,the EDF group selects thoseinnovations that have the potential to accelerate the energytransition,while supporting the French industrial fabric as much aspossible.Lastly,the energy transition will only
164、 be achieved if it is fair,inclusive and profitable.The EDF group supports its customers byhelping them to use energy more efficiently.EDF pays particularattention to the most vulnerable customers and implementsactions to fight against energy poverty(see section3.3.4“Energypoverty and social innovat
165、ion”).Generating more low-carbon electricity with nuclear and renewablesBecause in France 96%of electricity generated by EDF isdecarbonised thanks to nuclear and renewable energies,EDF playsa leading role in achieving a carbon neutrality goal by2050.Itsactions aim to accelerate the development of re
166、newable energies inaddition to its nuclear fleet,for which it guarantees safety,performance and competitiveness.There will be no single solution to guarantee low-carbon electricity,but a set of technologies:nuclear,hydropower,solar,onshore andoffshore wind power,low-carbon thermal means of generatio
167、n.This very low-carbon production ambition is partly based onthe performance of the nuclear sector,by guaranteeingindustrial control,safety,competitiveness,environmentalprotection and optimisation of the operation of nuclear fleetsin France and the United Kingdom.In addition,EDF iscontinuing to impl
168、ement an innovative fuel cycle strategy.EDFs nuclear generation fleet is the only one of its kind in theworld.The Grand Carnage programme for the existing fleet inFrance is a major industrial challenge.The related investmentsshould enable the power plants to remain in operation beyond40years,guarant
169、eeing nuclear safety,performance,andenvironmental protection.EDFs ambition is to return to the bestlevels of operational generation performance for the existing fleet,and to be able to produce 360 to 400TWh of nuclear electricity inFrance in the long term.Studies are underway to continue operatingth
170、e existing fleet beyond 60years under the best safety conditions,while taking into account feedback from international experiencewith reactors of the same design as those of the French fleet.Thesestudies will be supplemented by in-depth technical studies,whichwill be submitted to the French Nuclear
171、Safety Authority(ASN)before the end of 2025.Nuclear power operation does not emit CO2(2);it provides baselineproduction whilst offering strong leverage in terms of managementand flexibility to adjust to electricity consumption.As such,it is anessential asset for a decarbonised electricity mix by2050
172、.With this in mind,EDF is building the Hinkley PointC reactors in theUnited Kingdom and completing the Flamanville3 reactor in France.Two EPR reactors are in operation at Taishan in China,in which EDFholds a stake,and one at Olkiluoto in Finland.In France,following the President of the Republics ann
173、ouncementsin February2022 in Belfort regarding the launch of the constructionprogramme for six nuclear reactors in France,EDF,alongside thenuclear industry,is preparing for the implementation of thisambitious and essential programme and conducting studies foreight additional EPR2 reactors.The consul
174、tation and dialogue phasewith stakeholders is ongoing.The public debate on the project for aninitial pair of EPR2 reactors at the Penly site in Normandy was heldfrom 27 October 2022 to 27 February 2023.This presented anopportunity to provide information about and discuss this projectand gave rise to
175、 a report by the Special Commission for PublicDebate(Commission particulire du dbat public,CPDP)and areview by the Chairwoman of the National Commission for PublicDebate(Commission nationale du dbat public,CNDP),both ofwhich were made public on 26April2023.In December2023,EDFcontacted the CNDP regar
176、ding its plan to build a second pair ofEPR2-type nuclear power reactors on the Gravelines site.In itsdecision of 10 January 2024,the CNDP decided that it wasnecessary to organise a public debate.The Group is developing the Nuward project,pioneering the firstSmall Modular Reactor(SMR)in France and ai

187、etworks to meet the challenges of the energy transitionThe role of networks in the energy transition is key.Due to thesustained increase in electricity demand and the growing share ofrenewable energies in the electricity system,network operatorsmust achieve their ambitious targets for developing the
188、 connectionsdriven by the Multi-Year Energy Programme(PPE)in France.Networks must adapt to the increasing variability of electricitysystems and therefore be able to absorb massive injections ofintermittent energies(solar,wind),which requires managing thenetworks differently in terms of both injectio
189、n and withdrawal.Within the EDF group,the distribution network activities in Franceare carried out through Enedis and Strasbourg lectricit Rseaux,two bodies that operate the electricity distribution networkindependently from EDF,and through SEI.Internationally,itssubsidiary EDF International Network
190、 exports the Groups know-how and skills in the field of networks.To succeed in the energy transition in their respective regions,thesenetwork operators must transform the networks they operate inorder to(i)achieve the exponential trajectory of connectionsproposed by the PPE to meet the demand of pro
191、ducers(wind farms,solar power plants,solar panels on roofs,stationary storage or theequivalent)and consumers(IRVE Electric vehicule charginginfrastructure,self-consumption);(ii)accelerate their digitaltransition in network operation to strengthen predictivemaintenance and rapid repair;and(iii)renew
192、and strengthenexisting networks to meet growing electricity needs.As the share of electricity in the French energy mix becomesmajority by 2050,the networks must be even more resilient tohazards in order to guarantee access to electricity.In addition,smart meters rolled out by network operators enabl
193、e electricitymanagers to support their customers in better understanding theirneeds and responding to suppliers requests relating to their actionsto promote greater energy sobriety.In France,Enedis(2)puts at the heart of its concerns the issue ofnetwork reliability and ensures that electricity is 99
194、.9%available inFrance(3).Maintaining this level of availability by 2035/2040 is aconsiderable challenge,both on an industrial and on a human level.Developing flexibility solutions to meet the needs of the electricity systemThe management of the electricity system requires increasedflexibility in ord
195、er to cope with the variations caused by intermittentenergies over all time horizons.In response to these growing needs for balance,EDF is developing arange of solutions to meet these requirements over different timehorizons.These flexibilities will take multiple forms,both upstream for example,with
196、 the continued development of hydropower(lakes and pumped storage hydropower plants),the ability tomodulate future nuclear reactors(EPR),batteries,low-carbonthermal power plants(thanks to bioenergy,and potentially carboncapture and storage)and downstream,with the development ofdemand response or the
197、 mobilisation of smart charging of electricvehicles(V1G,V2G).Thus,the Storage plan,launched in 2018,aimsto develop over 10GW of gross storage capacity within the Group by2035.A wholly-owned EDF subsidiary,Agregio Solutions is one of theFrench leaders in the aggregation of decentralised energy resour
198、ces.To compensate for variability in renewable energy production,Agregio Solutions is developing a range of electrical flexibilityproducts to manage certain types of consumption or to storeelectricity in batteries.In 2026,Agregio Solutions aims to have acontractual portfolio of more than 12GW.By 203
199、5,the Group aims to reach 2GW in decarbonised thermalcapacity in its regions,and to operate at least one combined cyclegas turbine power plant(CCGT)equipped with CO2 capture andstorage(CCS)technology.In France,EDF stands out through its ability to offer 24/7decarbonised electricity and provides its
200、customers with 96%decarbonised electricity in mainland France.The EDF group invest massively in the energy transitionIn 2023,nearly 95%of the Groups investments are made in line withits carbon neutrality trajectory(94%in 2022)(4).The Group continues to regularly review its asset portfolio toproceed
201、with disposal of non-strategic assets,where appropriateand if conditions are favourable.Considering the reduction in netfinancial debt observed for the fiscal year ended December 31,2023,the Group no longer provides a quantified objective for its disposalplan.(1)33.9GW at the end of 2023 out of a to

204、ups priorities are backed by the following 5plans and a strategic work programme(1),in line with EDFs raison dtre and businessmodel:Through the Solar Plan,which was launched in 2017,the EDF group aims to become the leader in photovoltaic solar power in France with 30%of new capacity built(2)between
205、2020 and2035.Through the Storage Plan,launched in2018,the EDF group plans to develop 10GW of new storage facilities worldwide by2035,increasing the Groups storage capacity to 15GW by that time.The EDF group is aiming to develop a portfolio of 1million off-grid kits by 2030.Storage is a key factor in
206、 stabilising network frequency,encouraging the inclusion of renewable energies,and managing microgrids in non-interconnected areas.It will be developed by using hydro pumped energy transfer stations and batteries.With the Electric Mobility Plan,launched in October2018,the EDF group aims to be a lead
207、er in the supply of electricity for electric vehicles in its four largest European markets(France,the United Kingdom,Italy and Belgium).At the end of2023,nearly 340,000 charging points had been deployed.Lastly,for its own fleet of light vehicles,EDF is rolling out the EV100(3)programme and gradually
208、 converting its thermal vehicles to electric vehicles with a target of 100%by2030.2023 was the year of the consolidation of the excell plan launched in spring 2020 to enable the French nuclear industry to restore the most stringent standards and the highest levels of quality and excellence to be at
209、the forefront of major nuclear projects.In the new context of nuclear recovery,the challenge of this plan is to enable nuclear power,a low-carbon energy,to continue to fully play its role in the fight against global warming.In 2023,the 30 commitments of the excell plan were finalised and anchored in
210、 operational practices,thanks to the commitment of EDF and all companies in the French nuclear sector(4).See also section1.4.1.1.1“The excell plan”.Through the Hydrogen Plan,launched in April2022(5),EDF aims to secure a leading position in Europe in the generation of100%low-carbon hydrogen,using low
211、-carbon electricity from the grid,nuclear or renewable sources.EDFs ambition is to contribute to the decarbonisation of industry and heavy transport(including the maritime and aviation sectors via e-fuels).1.3.2.2Group transformationSince its creation,the EDF group has consistently overcome thechall
212、enges it has faced.The climate emergency and the need todevelop electricity for the decarbonisation of uses are a new keychallenge for society and the Group.EDF plays a leading role inachieving a carbon neutrality objective by 2050.It must bothimplement a sustainable business model to finance its in
213、vestments,attract necessary skills for the energy transition and both amplifyand accelerate the transformation of its operating methods.The Group can rely on solid assets:the robust and continuouscommitment of its teams,serving the EDFs raison dtre and thegeneral interest,recognised expertise in all
214、 business lines,andshared values of mutual aid and support for employees.Thetransformation initiatives undertaken in recent years have alsogenerated real progress,particularly in terms of empowering teamsand encouraging innovation.To to go faster,and further,the Group is amplifying thetransformation
215、 of its operating methods in several areas:collective efficiency to respond to the multiplication andacceleration of projects;cross-functionality between the Businesses to act together onthe electricity system with a uniform vision;increased development of a customer-centric performanceculture to re
216、spond to the new business model in which theGroup will operate;adopting the most effective practices and standards to meetthe challenge of recruiting people with key skills.A co-construction process has begun within the Group,aiming todefine the“mindset”that unites the teams to meet the challengesof
217、 tomorrow and be the generation that drives the transition.Thismindset is based on three priorities,upon which all teams will becalled to mobilise:EDF is a single team,collaborating enthusiastically in service ofits customers;EDF is reinventing itself,leveraging diversityand learning fromothers;EDF
218、meets the expected results,as it knows how to simplify,prioritise and make decisions at the appropriate level.Without delay,several transformation projects have been launchedas part of the development of a new company project,in line withthis“mindset”.1.Operational excellence projectsFour operationa

240、elsewhere in the world.The excell plan also benefits the operating nuclear fleetprogrammes,especially Grand Carnage and related maintenanceoperations.The commitments that were not fully finalised at the end of2022were finalised in2023,which put an end to the deployment ofactions under the excell pla
241、n.Committed momentum is now therule for all nuclear players within EDF and the nuclear industry;this continues to bear fruit.Its impact on the results of nuclearprojects is monitored in a quarterly dashboard which ambitioustargets are all levers towards excellence.This dashboard alsomentions the res
242、ults achieved in the field of skills together withthe annual analysis conducted by the GIFEN(1)as part of theMATCH(2)project and the partnership between EDF and itssuppliers monitored by the nuclear sector barometer maintainedby the GIFEN.All commitments are available at https:/www.edf.fr/plan-excel

245、same time,project managementfor the new EPR2 nuclear reactor programme was put in place(seealso section1.4.1.1.3.2).SkillsThe deployment of the GIFEN MATCH project now provides acomprehensive overview of recruitment and training needs in thevarious industrial sectors,which is updated annually,and ab
246、usiness-by-business analysis.This overview,which is based onactivity forecasts of nuclear operators and data regarding theresources available to manufacturers in this sector,enables todetermine actions to be rolled out in terms of attractiveness,training and recruitment.The Universit des Mtiers du N
247、uclaire,founded in early 2021,oversees all actions intended to meet these needs in skilled,trainedand experienced personnel.Bringing together national and regionalplayers in this field,the Universit des Mtiers du Nuclaire is thereal driver for skills improvement in the sector.Manufacturing and assem
248、blyAmong the numerous actions that have been carried out,twomajor changes should be noted:a new strategy to monitor the manufacturing of products,so asto achieve convergence between,on the one hand,the smoothoperation of the manufacturing cycle and,on the other hand,quality issues and associated reg
249、ulatory requirements;a common practice in other industries:the development ofqualifications for industrial processes,so as to re-secureproduct quality and reduce the need for monitoring.Lastly,EDF decided to embark on ISO19443 certification for its ownentities concerned by nuclear safety issues,and
250、for companiescarrying out manufacturing or other activities involving such issues.120 companies in the sector are ISO19443 certified,with a further80 companies in the process of obtaining certification.Supplier relationshipsThe quality of the relationships between EDF and its suppliers iscentral to
251、the success of work on the operating fleet and for newprojects.In consultation with companies in the sector,thecontractual provisions have been reviewed based on a strategyfocused on shared success in future projects.An annualbarometer gathers suppliers perception data and makes itpossible to assess

277、ocation contractsIn the 1970-80s,EDF developed an industrial cooperation withEuropean operators in the nuclear field,in the form of generationallocation contracts backed by units of the EDF French nuclearfleet.The principle of generation allocation contracts involves assigning ashare of the capacity
278、 of the units in question to co-contractingparties in exchange for payment of the same share of the unitsoverheads(construction costs,annual operating costs,decommissioning costs,local and specific nuclear taxes,etc.);theseparties are sold the same share of the power generated by theseunits at the v
279、ariable cost of the fuel(including upstream anddownstream fuel costs)throughout their lifetime.As at 31December2023,EDF has within its fleet 10nuclear unitsparticipating in the contracts(up to 1GW)with the followingEuropean energy companies:Cattenom1-2:EnBW(5%);Bugey2-3:lectricit de Laufenbourg(1)(1
280、7.5%);Tricastin1 to 4:Electrabel(2)(12.5%);ChoozB1-B2:Luminus,EDF subsidiary in Belgium(3.3%).EDF has also entered into a second type of generation allocationcontract for a fleet of power plants(totalling some 2GW).While thecontract term and the contribution to overheads remain linked toclearly iden
281、tified units within the fleet,the total amount of powersold at the variable cost of the fuel is determined by the availabilityof a broader baseline fleet of power plants,applied to the share ofcapacity assigned to the co-contracting parties for the units inquestion.These contracts mainly concern the
282、 following powerplants:ChoozB1-B2(initial series unit N4):Electrabel(21.7%);Cattenom3-4:lectricit de Laufenbourg(7.8%)and the Swisselectricity group CNP(21.8%).In these two types of contracts,the contracting parties advised EDFof the industrial risks during the development of the fleet.Theyaccept th
283、e risks relating to the current operation of the powerplants.On the other hand,they have no operational role.Operation of the nuclear fleetNuclear energy is a means of production with a low variable cost,which is primarily related to fuel.It represents less than 30%ofoperating costs(3).The main comp
284、etitive levers of the nuclear fleet inits operating phase are thus the amount of generated energy andthe optimisation of fixed operating and maintenance costs.Thelevers relating to the fuel cycle are described in section1.4.1.1.2.3.Generation cycle and planned outagesEDF must reconcile the challenge

299、oad generation.They are used just afterrun-of-river hydropower and other intermittent renewable energies,as well as energy purchased under purchase obligations fromdecentralised electricity producers.Variations in energyconsumption over one year(summer-winter,day-night)and thecurrently restricted fl
300、uidity of wholesale markets due to limitedinterconnections on the borders lead nuclear energy to be used alsofor mid-merit generation.High variations in seasonal consumptionin France and its major variation during winter months require thatplanned nuclear fleet outages be concentrated between April
301、andOctober.Generation in2023Nuclear generation reached 320.4TWh in 2023,up 41.4TWhfrom2022(279.0TWh).This increase is due to better availability ofthe nuclear fleet,mainly due to better control of the treatment ofphenomenom of stress corrosion,as well as an improvement in thecontrol of shutdowns for
302、 maintenance.Following the discovery ofstress corrosion phenomenom at the end of 2021,severalunexpected shutdowns and extended shutdowns for maintenancewere necessary in 2022 to understand the issue and implement atreatment strategy.In 2023,stress corrosion treatment entered anindustrial dimension:t
303、he improvement of control processes,as wellas feedback from repair work,made it possible to optimiseschedules and reduce reactor downtime.It should be noted that the impact of a nationwide social movementagainst the pension reform in March and April 2023 delayed reactormaintenance and restart operat
304、ions.2023technical performanceDespite the progress made,stress corrosion cracking continues toimpact nuclear generation in 2023,although this has decreasedfrom 2022,largely due to the industrialisation of the work.Among the completed shutdowns,the following were on scheduleor shorter than forecast:N
305、ogent 2(VP),Cattenom 2(VP),Cattenom 1(intermediateshutdown),Belleville 2(intermediate shutdown)and Golfech 2(ASR).Shutdowns for series 1,300 P4,which included thepreventive replacement of RIS cold branch lines as part of thestress corrosion treatment strategy and benefited from siteoptimisations res

307、ansformation programmefocused on regaining industrial control of unit shutdowns,continuesto bear fruit:the extension of unit shutdowns was reduced by anaverage of 13.7days compared to 2022.In particular,this involvescontrolling reactor shutdown and restart operations.For example,while the reactor un
308、loading operation began on schedule for only2%of outages in2021,compliance with the schedule increased to40%in 2022 and to 64%in 2023.Among the reactors that experienced significant overruns of theirprojected duration(50 days)are primarily the first reactors thatwere affected by stress corrosion:Civ
309、aux 1(VD),Civaux 2(VD),Chooz 1(VP),Chooz 2(VP),Cattenom 1(VP),Flamanville(ASR-RGV),Golfech 1(VD),Penly 1(VP)and Penly 2(VP).Facilities not contendingwith the stress corrosion issue:Blayais 1(VD),Cruas 1(VP),Gravelines 1(VP)and Saint-Alban 1(VP).These are shutdowns atsites with a particularly large i
310、ndustrial programme(Gravelines,Cruas)or that were impacted by major technical hazards and thesocial movement at the beginning of the year(Blayais,Cruas,Saint-Alban).Nuclear generation expressed in annual energy is based on ageneration rate for the French nuclear fleet as a whole.This isdefined as th
311、e ratio of energy generated to the maximum theoreticalenergy(the energy generated if the installed capacity wereoperated year-round).This is also known as the load factor(“Kp”).This rate is obtained by multiplying two coefficients(Kp=KdKu):the availability factor(“Kd”)(available energy(1)in comparis
312、on tomaximum theoretical energy.The latter concept correspondsto year-round operation of the installed capacity).The Kddepends on outage durations,and is therefore impacted bystandard durations and the work programme to be performed;the utilisation factor,(“Ku”)(energy generated compared toenergy av
313、ailable).The Ku factor reflects environmental,regulatory and social constraints,supply of system services andoptimisation carried out by EDF(fuel and modulation).In 2023,the Kp factor reached 59.6%,up 7.7%from 2022(51.9%).This results from a Kd of67.3%,up 9.2%from 2022(58.1%)and a Kuof 88.6%,down 0.
314、7%from 2022(89.6%).Handling of stress corrosion detected on the auxiliary circuits ofa number of nuclear reactorsUpon performing the scheduled controls during the 10-yearinspection of the Civaux 1 reactor in late 2021,stress corrosioncracking was identified on parts of the pipework in the reactorsma
315、in primary circuits auxiliary circuits.EDF immediately carried outinspections and expert appraisals of the four series of reactorsmaking up the French nuclear fleet(900MW,1,300MW-P4,1,300MW-P4and N4).The examinations performed in 2022 made it possible to define aninitial characterisation of the stre
316、ss corrosion sensitivity of the56 reactors in the nuclear fleet:40 reactors were identified ashaving little or no sensitivity to stress corrosion.These included32 reactors from the 900MW series and 8 reactors from the1,300MW-P4 series.16reactors were identified as being vulnerableor highly vulnerabl
317、e to the phenomenon of stress corrosion:the 121,300MW-P4 series reactors and the 4 N4 series reactors.By theend of 2023,the preventive replacement of pipe sections had beencompleted for 15 of the reactors sensitive to stress corrosioncracking.The industrial programme for the preventive replacementof
318、 pipe sections planned for reactors sensitive to stress corrosionwill be completed in the first quarter of 2024.In 2023,more than 350 non-destructive tests were scheduled toconfirm the reactors sensitivity diagnosis,and to characterise a riskinherent to the welds that were repaired during the initia
319、lassembly(2)regardless of the reactors sensitivity.The plannedchecks were carried out in full and confirmed the reactorssensitivity classification and the specific risk related to the repairedwelds.The checks carried out on these units identified a few casesof suspected stress corrosion,which led to
320、 around 10additionalreplacement projects in 2023.In 2024,the reactor inspection programme will continue with ahigher volume of checks than in 2023.As in 2023,this could involvea decision to perform some additional repairs.The inspections willbe carried out during scheduled maintenance shutdowns;noad
321、ditional or dedicated shutdowns are planned.By the end of 2025,most of the auxiliary lines inspection programme will have beencompleted,in accordance with initial forecasts.It will have beensupplemented by checks on other lines(pressuriser expansion lines,main primary circuit,small-diameter lines).T
