A European Union investigation into France’s state aid funding scheme for the construction of six nuclearreactors is expected to progress quickly and will not delay the projects, a French energy ministry official said on Wednesday.
The new reactors are expected to cost tens of billions of euros and are central to France’s plan to renew its ageing nuclear fleet. They would add about 10 gigawatts of capacity, with the first reactor due to be operating in 2038.
