<p>EDF, a key player in energy in France, announced<a href="https://www.leparisien.fr/economie/edf-anticipe-une-baisse-rapide-et-durable-des-prix-de-lelectricite-dans-les-prochains-mois-26-07-2024-ALQ3K6WPAVAPRIJKWV4VO34NEY.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> a <strong>21% increase in its profits</strong></a> in the first half of the year, reaching 7 billion euros.

<p>Luc Rémont, CEO of EDF, said: “<em>We now have visibility on prices until around the end of the decade, with a rapid decline followed by stabilization</em>“.</p>
<p>A statement that brings a smile back to consumers but leaves <strong>EDF facing economic challenges</strong>. Indeed, despite planned investments in the energy transition, a sustainable price drop could impact the company’s future financial results.</p>

<p>At the same time, the French government, through Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire, announced <strong>a reduction in regulated electricity tariffs of 10 to 15% for February 2025</strong>, despite his <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/france-on-the-brink-of-bankruptcy-bruno-le-maire-sounds-the-alarm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">fear of bankruptcy for France in general</a>.</p>
<p>This decision follows a <strong>increase of more than 30% recorded since 2021</strong>, despite the tariff shield. EDF, with a net profit of 10 billion euros in 2023, relies on this momentum to make crucial investments for the energy transition.</p>

<p>The company plans to <strong>strengthen its nuclear and hydraulic capacities</strong>, while integrating <strong>more renewable energy</strong>.</p>
<p>Nuclear production in France has already increased by 19.4 terawatt-hours (TWh) in the first half of 2024, reaching 177.4 TWh, and the forecasts for 2025-2026 are also encouraging, ranging between 335-365 TWh.</p>

<p>As the drop in electricity prices is confirmed and investments in the energy transition multiply, France could well see its economy receive a significant boost <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/paris-2024-olympics-major-economic-boost-for-france/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">thanks to the 2024 Paris Olympics</a>.</p>
