No, fla3 interest rates weren't that subsidized. It would require EC approval like the EPR2 project.

I didn't make stuff up. Profitability limit would be 6-10ct, the cfds would be above that

You don't need to force anyone to buy nuclear. People will pay for electricity. In some cases price will be more influenced by the source like nuclear if it's expensive. In other cases it'll be influenced by transmission, grid forming inverters and firming costs

SA is one of the leaders in ren deployment. Just like CA. Just like Germany. All are dwarfed by france for cheap household prices. That's because even if lcoe for ren is cheap, full system cost grows





> No, fla3 interest rates weren't that subsidized.

You have a study you've linked several times in the past arguing how cheap FV3 is based on insanely subsidized interest rates and a payoff time stretching almost into 2100 if an equivalent project was started today.

> It would require EC approval like the EPR2 project.

Much has changed since 2006.

What do you do when the grid demand for firm power is zero? Shut down the nuclear plant?

About the entire difference comes from extra fees and taxes. The wholesale day ahead prices are about equal.

That is also running on the French paid off nuclear fleet nearing EOL. How will you get the current wholesale prices with the EDF2 fleet costing 11 cents/kWh and interest free loans?

The costs doesn't dissappear simply because you hide them in the tax budget.

You have to look at it coming from the raw incentives. You can complain all you want about "full system cost", but that only applies in an monopolized system where the consumers don't have any choice.

Consumers have choices and can pick and choose what of the monopolized system they want by implementing their own distributed renewable generation and storage.
