Summary

Mr. Marc Chavent questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty on the growing use of nuclear power as a variable for adjusting the electricity system, while consumption remains structurally low and renewable production increases. This strategy leads to accelerated wear and tear of equipment, increased maintenance costs, and reduced availability. of the fleet and recurring negative or zero market prices. The nuclear fleet, designed for base operation, is thus used beyond its technical and economic limits. He asks him if he intends to pursue this strategy, or if he plans to put demand management and industrial flexibility back at the heart of the electricity system, to adapt the pace of capacity deployment to actual consumption and to limit the excessive modulation of reactors to protect the lifespan and availability of the fleet.
