Today, Europe has a window of opportunity to make the right decision for its citizens and industry (21 Nov 2018)
Wholesale electricity prices across Europe have recorded an unprecedented increase between 2017 and 2018, and could have a significant negative impact on European economies. Interestingly, in France, a country where nuclear accounts for a major share of the energy mix, the rise in prices has been lower (+32%). This compares to Germany - currently phasing out nuclear - where the rise has been significantly higher (+87%). Having nuclear as part of the energy mix helps to stabilise electricity prices as its fuel source, uranium, is abundantly available and its price has little impact on production costs.
