President Emmanuel Macron is to unveil global plans for France's future energy strategy, and in particular, the relaunch of the country's nuclear programme during a visit to Belfort on Thursday.
After a long period of negotiation, EDF announced on Thursday that a deal has been signed to have exclusivity in the purchase of part of GE's nuclear activity known as 'Steam Power', which includes the Arabelle turbines, according to a joint statement.
Macron has become a fervent supporter of nuclear energy despite promising in 2017 that he would reduce nuclear production down to 50 percent of the nation's electricity production.
Up to 14 new reactors
Macron's focus is now the construction of a series of new EPR reactors.
A source close to the president indicated that French energy firm EDF could be commissioned to make up to six new second generation EPR2 reactors for an estimated 50 billion euros, with an option of 8 more on the horizon, bringing the total to 14.
France is currently building a new third-generation EPR nuclear reactor in Flamanville in Normandy.
