TotalEnergies has signed a 12-year Nuclear Production Allocation Contract with EDF, securing 400 MW of low-carbon power for its French refining and chemicals sites. The agreement covers approximately 60% of TotalEnergies' industrial electricity needs in France, commencing January 2028.
TotalEnergies and EDF have signed a Nuclear Production Allocation Contract for a 12-year term beginning January 1, 2028, according to an official announcement. Under the agreement, EDF will allocate a share of its operating nuclear fleet's output to TotalEnergies, covering approximately 60% of the electricity needs of TotalEnergies' refining and chemicals sites in France, estimated at 400 MW.
TotalEnergies is a French multinational integrated energy company with operations across oil, gas, renewables, and petrochemicals. EDF is France's state-owned electric utility and a major operator of nuclear power plants. The contract enables TotalEnergies to benefit from competitive nuclear generation pricing while allowing EDF to share risks and costs associated with production variability.
EDF retains sole responsibility for asset operation. This development matters for France's industrial energy landscape, where long-term power supply agreements support energy-intensive industries facing competitive pressures from global markets. The contract aligns with France's strategy to leverage its nuclear fleet as a competitive advantage for domestic industrial consumers.
For the energy and chemicals sectors, the agreement provides price and supply visibility for refining and petrochemical operations, where electricity represents a significant production cost. Stakeholders including industrial electricity consumers, power generators, and policymakers may monitor the contract structure as a model for other long-term nuclear allocation arrangements.
The agreement also reinforces the role of nuclear power in supporting energy sovereignty and industrial decarbonisation in France.
