EDF creates advisory board to facilitate financing of nuclear projects
March 10 (Reuters) - French state-owned electric utility company EDF has created an advisory board to facilitate financing of global nuclear projects, it said on Tuesday as part of the 2026 World Nuclear Energy Summit in Paris.
EDF operates the world's largest nuclear power plant fleet and constructs nuclear power stations world wide. The advisory board will help its clients find funding for projects, potentially enabling it to develop more reactors.
The board includes experts from ABN AMRO Bank ABNd.AS, BNP Paribas BNPP.PA, BpiFrance Assurance Export, La Caisse, Royal Bank of Canada and SFIL SAIF.BO
It will help structure models to finance the billions needed for new nuclear reactors, both classic and small modular, EDF said
International Energy Agency said global installed nuclear capacity could increase by 50% to 100% over the next 20 to 30 years
