The role of #nuclear in EU’s energy mix is not just a technical question—it is a strategic one, central to our climate ambitions, our economic competitiveness, and our energy sovereignty. Marion Labatut at #NuclearEurope2025
To reach our climate targets without sacrificing competitiveness, only one path is viable: Decarbonize and electrify. These are environmental imperatives, but also economic ones. 🔌📉 Marion Labatut at #NuclearEurope2025
Electrification must rely on all low-carbon sources identified by the NZIA ➡️ This of course includes renewables and nuclear. A balanced mix is essential. Marion Labatut at #NuclearEurope2025
We must take a systemic approach, ensuring that our energy system is not only clean, but also reliable and cost-effective for consumers. Marion Labatut at #NuclearEurope2025
Electricity in EU #EDFNet0scenario 🔹 2021: 21% of final energy [vs fossils = 63%] 🔹 2025: 70% decarbonized 🔹 2040: nearly 100% decarbonized 🔹 2050: 57% of final energy 👉 A "no regrets" solution Marion Labatut at #NuclearEurope2025
Concrete case: industrial heat 🛠️ 50% of demand is < 500°C 🔥 80% is still fossil-based ⚡ For 60% of this demand, electric solutions already exist! ➡️ We must act now. Marion Labatut at #NuclearEurope2025
We call on the European Commission to support all forms of #nuclear: ✅ Life extension of existing plants ✅ New large-scale projects ✅ SMR ✅ A robust European industrial supply chain Marion Labatut at #NuclearEurope2025
Electrification, supported by all low-carbon sources – including #nuclear – is our best chance to ensure a successful, competitive, and sovereign transition. A supportive political and financial framework is essential. 🇪🇺 Marion Labatut at #NuclearEurope2025
Honored to welcome Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen to the #nuclear site of EDF Cattenom with CEO Bernard Fontana. A great opportunity to highlight nuclear’s key role in driving the energy transition, clean, reliable, and low-carbon. ⚡🌍EDF #NetZero #EnergyTransition
⚡ Today in Brussels: Eurelectric unveils its #PowerBarometer 2025 – the key snapshot of Europe’s electrification journey. EDF Erkki Maillard joins the discussions to talk about ways to accelerate the transition and competitiveness in Europe.
Many thanks to Eurelectric for organising this highly inspiring event #PowerBarometer2025!
