> Say you run Hinkley Point C [1] at a capacity factor of 50% because renewable crowd it out Very bad projection because: - Hinkley Point C, Olkiluoto 3 and EPR Flamanville are all prototype. Their CAPEX cost are not representative of industrialized Nuclear. As example, the production cost as expressed by the French ARENH is around 42-1€/MWh [1] - Electricity price skyrocket when weather conditions make production of renewable impossible. This is where this kind of plant make a profit. [2] Your projection just fit a worst case scenario. - At the current electricity price due to the Russian conflict, Some EPRs including the French ones are predicted to be cost effective in only few years.
