DESCRIPTION
In a very optimistic lecture, Yves GIRAUD, the EDF Generation Economics & Strategy Director, then compared different electricity sources to conclude that nuclear energy will play an important role in the future.TRANSCRIPT

What future for the different electricity sources?
SFEN “Atoms for the Future” 2013

Once upon a time, Europe had a dream….
3
Back to Coal !
4
Coal, the king of the ring
First in the world
Highly standardized - 2000 €/kW
Flexible
Fuel easy to extract and transport
CCS ? 40%40%
of the world electricity generation
5
Gas, a (fallen) sprinter
Easy, fast and cheap
(900 €/kW)
Clean compared to coal
Today CCGT in Europe are closingbecause of low coal and CO2prices 22%22%

Energy efficiency, a solution to reduce electricity demand

Renewables, like a dream

Advanced technologies
Easy to implement

Costs depending on technologies(1000 €/kW to 4000 €/kW)
In the right place at the right time

Nuclear nightmare?
10
Time for a nuclear dream!
Parc éolien de 30 MW, à Mistretta, en Sicile
Difficult, long and expensive(> 4000 €/MW)
Long construction time
Complex(political, legal and safety)
Low carbon
Competitive (over the long term)
Good for employment
Stable price
11
Existing reactors and new buildprojects
New build projects/programmes
Nuclear exit or phase out
Exsiting reactors with no new buildprojects
Lots of countries see a future for nuclear
12
Opinion on nuclear is not that bad
Question: what is your opinion of the use of nuclear energy in your country?

A strong political commitment to the polish nuclear programme:
– 2011: “Nuclear Package” voted almost unanimously
(407 for vs. 2 against) by the Parliament
– 2012: PGE announces a package of Integrated
Proceedings for the first nuclear project
– Spring 2013: preliminary dialogue with interested
bidders
– End-2013: finalisation of Polish Nuclear Programme
– 2025-2030: target commissioning date for 6,000MW
EDF and its partner Areva have announced their
intention to participate in the Polish NNB
programme
Poland: a robust process is underway which in a sense can be compared to the commitment of UK
24
Towards a new market design
Difficulties to launch nuclear projects in a deregulated market….
… as for any other technologies
Let’s invent a new market design for nuclear
25
Let’s start a new dream with nuclear
Nuclear will playan important role
Life extension must be achieved
A vital need for NNB projects
