Levy added that this was the mission he was given when he was appointed five years ago.
He added that in order to be cost-efficient it was necessary to build nuclear reactors in series, with two reactors per site on three consecutive sites.
Levy also said the French government’s talks with the European Commission about a planned restructuring of EDF have barely started, and that deeper discussion about the restructuring will start once the government has found agreement with the EU about the regulation of EDF’s nuclear production.
Around a quarter of EDF employees striked on Thursday in protest over the planned to restructuring, reducing power generation at several sites.
