Jean Bernard Levy, Chief Executive of EDF, told the Journal de Dimanche: “We will invest €16 billion, and will have two-thirds of the project alongside our Chinese partners. When it is well advanced, and before construction has ended, and when everyone sees from Flamanville that the European pressurised reactor is an exceptional reactor, then we will be able to bring in other investors as was foreseen a few years ago.”
