President Emmanuel Macron wants French utility company Electricite de France SA to build up to 14 new nuclear reactors, pledging tens of billions of state support over the next three decades to revamp the country’s struggling atomic industry.
“In the long run, nuclear power and renewables will provide cheaper energy, protected from the turbulences of markets,” Macron said Thursday in Belfort, eastern France, at a General Electric site that produces turbines for nuclear power stations and will be bought by EDF.
