PARIS -(Dow Jones)- France needs to invest EUR322 billion in its power generation and distribution means over the next 20 years, an amount that would increase to EUR382 billion to include developing other energy sources if the nuclear share in its energy mix was cut to 50% by 2030 from around 75% at present, according to a study the French energy industry association released Monday.
Should the government decide to lower the nuclear share to 20% of the country’s mix by 2030, when a majority of France’s reactors reach 60 years of age, the country would need to spend EUR434 billion by then to develop alternative power sources, according to the study conducted for the Union Francaise de l’Electricite.
