After it is put into operation, the reactor will undergo batteries of tests which will notably require changing the power levels, and also carrying out interruptions. Despite this soft launch, the reactor is expected to produce 14 TWh of electricity between mid-2024 and 2026, when a first maintenance shutdown is scheduled.
EDF aims to reach 400 TWh of electricity produced by 2030, while for 2022, a dark year for the group, its production had fallen to 279 TWh. The Flamanville 3 EPR should be able to help EDF reach this level. As a reminder, its construction began in 2007. Since then, the cost of the project has constantly been revised upwards, while its commissioning has been postponed many times.
