It is unclear how much nuclear energy costs to the public in France. There is no cost transparency so I don't know what you base that on.

- adev_ 5y ago> There is no cost transparency so I don't know what you base that on. Electricity cost to the final user is the only metrics that matter. Anything in the energy market is heavily subsidies: petrol, gas, RNG, everything, not only nuclear. France was having one of the lowest electricity price in Europe for more than 2 decades mainly due to Nuclear[^1]. This is not anymore due to the European common energy market.

- cinntaile 5y ago> Electricity cost to the final user is the only metrics that matter. By that logic the difference between solar and nuclear doesn't matter since the cost is the same. The fact of the matter is that we don't know the cost of nuclear in France since it gets lumped together with other profits/losses. This is unfortunate because it makes comparing very difficult. The claims you made are therefore unsubstantiated.
- marsokod 5y agoThe cost of nuclear energy is actually in the law since EDF has to sell some of its production at cost to other providers. The evaluation is done by the CRE.
