And that too: https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article ... _3234.html

"The French nuclear sector spends its time noticing that time flies too quickly" : Mrgreen:



Late, late… Like Alice's rabbit, the French nuclear powerhouse spends its time looking at its watch and realizing that time is running too fast. Thursday, May 19, the bosses of the Hinkley Point reactor site, in the south-west of England, had to recognize that the start-up of the new power plant, built by EDF, would not take place before June 2027, i.e. two years later than expected in 2018. Assuming that this last deadline is respected, it will already be a record, if we consider that its French equivalent, the EPR reactor in Flamanville (Manche), will start up at least eleven years late. , and its Finnish little brother, twelve years older than initially announced.

These continual postponements are accompanied by an increase in the bill. Again, the British project, which was initially to cost 21 billion euros, is now valued at nearly 30 billion. The health crisis and its confinements have disrupted the subcontracting chain and reduced staff. Not to mention the inflation in the price of the raw materials used, such as steel or cement.

the cost of these EPRs which produced nothing is staggering...

15 billion at Flamanville, 30 billion at Hinkley Point

No, but guys, with such budgets, we can afford tens of GW of renewables... : roll:

hence the question: is the interest in the hypothetical future operation or simply in making these money pits, which WE pay, to justify them.

A thermodynamic solar power plant of 10MW (110GWh/year) costs 35 million euros. With this amount, they could build more than 10. But as the paying pig is captive with his EDF bill, he sees nothing but fire.

France will not abandon nuclear power, even at the cost of a major accident, anchored in the dogma of “security of energy supply” “whatever it takes”

Ah, a thermodynamic solar power plant of 10MW produces 110GWh/year.....
Well then!

Yes GW/hours per year, what is the unit of measurement? : Mrgreen:

Yet it's really you "funny ones" who reported mainstream fake news for two years?

And I bet it produces even at night thanks to molten salt at 500°C (source: France 2) : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: lol

Yes, go ahead, references, Wikipedia pages, whatever, of 10MW thermodynamic solar power plants that produce 110GWh/year.

Note as a reminder: a non-leap year is 8760h.

Ah, for that you do NOT take the source of the mainstream, : Mrgreen: but for PCR tests or HCQ+AZ yes?

The plant you are talking about must be this one (we find an expected production of 110GWh/year in the article):

https://phys.org/news/2011-07-gemasolar ... hours.html

Simply, it does not have a nominal power of 10MW, but of 20MW. Just a detail.....

History: 5.3 BILLION losses for EDF over...ONE SEMESTER! : Shock: : Shock: : Shock: : Shock:

It's serious, very serious ...

https://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article ... _3234.html

EDF suffered a historic loss of 5,3 billion euros in the first half

While the State launched the process of nationalization of the energy company, the latter announced that it had suffered one of the heaviest losses in its history. In question, in particular, the drop in production of nuclear electricity, linked to the problems of corrosion of certain reactors.


On the other hand :

Turnover, on the other hand, rose sharply (+67,2%), to 66,262 billion euros, supported by the sharp rise in electricity and gas prices in Europe.

Without this increase, how much would the loss have been? 20 Billion? : Shock: : Shock: : Shock: : Shock:
