GdF Suez sees himself as a prophet in his own country

The GdF Suez group is on the way to become a main actor of the French nuclear industry thanks to the imminent signature of an agreement with Areva. The group already exploits 7 reactors in Belgium representing 6000 MW, and nuclear energy represents 20.5% of its production. The group owns 33% of the building company of the second French EPR reactor, and owns 5% of the shares of the future George Besse II uranium enrichment plant of the Areva NC Tricastin site. GdF Suez is also active abroad, in particular in UK and Romania for the construction of new reactors and in Brazil where the group is the first private hydropower producer of the country. (J.S.)
