flag France is boosting nuclear power with new reactors to cut fossil fuel use by 2030 and phase out oil and gas by 2050.

flag France is accelerating its nuclear energy expansion through investments in modernizing existing reactors and building six new ones, including small modular reactors, as part of a 2026–2035 plan to cut fossil fuel use to 40% by 2030 and phase out oil and gas by 2050. flag The shift reverses earlier plans to reduce nuclear reliance, driven by energy security concerns, climate goals, and high fossil fuel import costs. flag While nuclear power remains central to France’s low-carbon strategy, the plan faces challenges including regulatory hurdles, public skepticism, and construction timelines.
