Overview

• The Flamanville EPR reactor, offline since February 15 due to technical issues, was reconnected to the grid on April 19, 2025.
• The restart occurred two days earlier than the revised schedule, following multiple delays for maintenance and testing.
• Initial power output is 90 MW, with power variation tests planned through the coming week to ensure stability and safety.
• EDF confirmed its timeline to progressively ramp up the reactor to full capacity of 1,620 MW by summer 2025.
• This marks a key milestone for France's first new reactor in over a decade, part of its broader nuclear energy strategy.
