Technip Energies and EDF sign framework to support EPR2 delivery

Scope of the agreement

Technip Energies and EDF signed a non-exclusive strategic framework to support execution, construction management and delivery of EDF’s nuclear new-build program, EPR2. Under the agreement, Technip Energies will deploy experienced personnel into key operational roles within EDF, working as part of integrated teams alongside EDF staff.

Operational model and objectives

The integrated-team model is designed to draw on Technip Energies’ experience in delivering major complex industrial and energy projects to strengthen execution discipline and improve schedule predictability across all of EDF’s nuclear new-build activities. The framework establishes a foundation for long-term cooperation to combine complementary capabilities and capitalise on lessons learned from large-scale projects.

Executive comments

Loïc Chapuis, President Project Delivery and Services at Technip Energies, said the partnership pairs EDF’s long-standing nuclear expertise with Technip Energies’ experience delivering complex industrial infrastructure to support execution and schedule certainty across major nuclear projects. Thierry Le Mouroux, EDF’s Group Senior Executive Vice President for Nuclear Projects and Industrial Partnership, said the collaboration couples EDF’s reactor engineering and dedicated supply chain with Technip Energies’ complex project management skills to help ensure EPR2s are delivered on time, within budget and to expected safety levels.
