Summary/Abstract: The global energy crisis has highlighted the weakness in the French energy sector. The nuclear branch, which was supposed to ensure the state’s independence, is struggling with technological problems, the state-owned EDF group is heavily indebted, and production from renewables remains below expectations. The initial government reaction has been aimed at preventing an uncontrolled increase in fuel and energy prices. Now, doubts have been raised about the French president’s ambitious plan for the structural recovery of the energy sector, presented on 10 February, over its financial and technical feasibility.
