EDF and CRE are working to develop specific accounting methods for nuclear sales

EDF and the Energy Regulatory Commission are working to identify the revenues that EDF derives from nuclear electricity sales. Identifying the revenues from nuclear power plants is essential for calculating the universal nuclear levy that EDF may have to pay to consumers if the average selling price of nuclear electricity exceeds certain thresholds. The law provides for two thresholds: a taxation threshold, for which a price of €78/MWh has been mentioned, above which revenues from nuclear power plants are taxed at 50%, and a capping threshold (€110/MWh) above which revenues from nuclear power plants are taxed at 90%.
