State-controlled French power company EDF has made another cut in estimated planned nuclear output because maintenance work will take more of its reactors offline.
The new cut is related to projections for 2023, which the company said it was scaling back from 340-370 TWh to 300-330 TWh.
EDF said this took into account a busy programme of work on its fleet of reactors, with 44 outages for maintenance and inspection, including six 10-yearly inspections, plus two scheduled outages in 2022 that would continue into 2023.
