TotalEnergies and EDF agree 12‑year nuclear supply for French refining and chemicals sites

Key highlights
  • TotalEnergies and EDF sign a 12-year Nuclear Production Allocation Contract (CAPN) starting 1 Jan 2028.
  • EDF will allocate output from its operating nuclear fleet to cover ~60% (~400 MW) of TotalEnergies' refining and chemicals sites in France.
  • EDF remains responsible for plant operation; the contract allocates variability-related risks and costs between the parties.

Agreement overview

On March 27, 2026, TotalEnergies and EDF signed a Nuclear Production Allocation Contract (CAPN) with a 12-year term, effective January 1, 2028.

Supply and coverage

Under the CAPN, EDF will allocate a share of output from its operating nuclear fleet to TotalEnergies to cover roughly 60% of the electricity needs (about 400 MW) of TotalEnergies' refining and chemicals sites in France.

Operational and risk allocation

EDF remains solely responsible for operation of its nuclear assets; the contract assigns production volumes to TotalEnergies while sharing the risks and costs tied to production variability, providing long-term visibility on low-carbon power supply for the industrial sites.
