Story summary
  • France enacted an energy law that lowers wind and solar targets while preserving its nuclear strategy.
  • The law, after debate, allows Électricité de France (EDF) to continue operating nuclear plants.
  • It targets a 5% increase by 2035, with offshore wind at 15 GW and onshore wind at 35–40 GW.
  • The plan seeks 60% decarbonized electricity by 2030 and 70% by 2035, but may not lower energy prices for consumers.
