EDF proposal to ČEZ and the Czech Republic is a comprehensive and fully integrated offer, relying on 5 key pillars

  2. EDF’s outstanding experience in design, engineering, construction, commissioning and operation of nuclear power plants worldwide.
  3. A strong integrated industrial basis relying on EDF’s historic partners:
    • Framatome, EDF’s subsidiary for the supply of key nuclear systems;
    • Bouygues Travaux Publics for the civil works;
    • GE Steam Power, for the delivery of the ArabelleTM turbine.
  4. EDF’s experience in the involvement of the local supply chain with tailor-made localisation programs.
  5. A European fleet approach based on the EPR technology with a pipeline of over 20 EPR reactors in operation, under development and/or construction in Europe that will provide synergies and cross-opportunities for the mutual benefit of the Czech and French industries.

Together with EDF, a long term partnership

A long term commitment in the Czech Republic since 2016 to support the nuclear program at all stages:

  • A wide range of activities developed
  • A full team of + 200 people dedicated to the preparation of the tender for Dukovany 5 amongst EDF and its key partners’ teams
  • A clear and vocal support to nuclear energy as part of the European debate

Creating value for the Czech Republic

EDF’s EPR1200 project for the Czech Republic will provide economic benefits to the Czech economy by proposing wide and long-term business opportunities throughout the whole project phase and subsequent 60 years of operation and maintenance.

Should EDF be selected as preferred bidder, the Dukovany 5 EPR1200 construction phase and subsequent 60 years of operations would provide thousands of new jobs ranging from the technician level to highly qualified experts.

The project will also create numerous induced jobs for the local economy around the Dukovany plant. EDF’s unique localization approach will be tailored to maximize the potential for direct local employment through dedicated training sessions, apprenticeship offerings and local business development for services to the construction phase.
