Here is a story in spanish about how France gave EDF 2.1 billion euros in 2022. https://cincodias.elpais.com/cincodias/2022/02/18/companias/1645176934_613827.html https://cincodias.elpais.com/cincodias/2022/02/18/companias/... "We're not going to nationalize it" said the politician. Months later, they paid another 10 billion euros to do just that, here is the story in dutch: https://www.volkskrant.nl/economie/macron-biedt-10-miljard-voor-totale-grip-op-energiebedrijf-edf~b253a5c3/ https://www.volkskrant.nl/economie/macron-biedt-10-miljard-v... So in 2022, France gave EDF directly over 12 billion euros. Saying they had 9 billion in profits when they were given 12 buillion by the state is a bit odd. Surely a cool free 12 billion on top of the "insane profits" they generate on their own can't be less than the money they were given? A grandfather who spends money using his grandchildren's credit cards is not profitable. And that is basically what EDF is doing. The sad fact is that France has dug itself into a hole. They have a huge industry around nuclear, which is at the end of any pretense of profitability with an enormous mountain of unpaid costs coming up in the centuries ahead. This will be a burden on France's economy - the credit cards have run out, now the grandchildren have to pay.
