EDF: new EPR set to be commissioned
(CercleFinance.com) - The EDF group announced late on Friday that the number 2 unit of the Taishan nuclear power plant in China will enter into commercial operation on Saturday, following a statutory functional test.
"Comprising two 1750-MW EPR reactors, Taishan nuclear power plant is the biggest cooperation project to have taken place between China and France in the energy sector. Taishan's two reactors are capable of supplying the Chinese power grid with up to 24 TWh of CO2-free electricity a year, tantamount to the annual electricity consumption of 5 million Chinese users, whilst at the same time preventing the emission of 21 million tons of CO2 a year," EDF said.
