PARIS - The sight of French President Emmanuel Macron and his cabinet drinking beers on a boat with their German counterparts in Hamburg this week will project an image of the enduring Franco-German friendship.
France is one of the most nuclear-powered countries in the world, typically producing over 70% of its electricity with its fleet of reactors. "The starting point for all these disputes is Germany's anti-nuclear policy, which extends beyond its borders," said Marc-Antoine Eyl-Mazzega, head of Paris-based IFRI think-tank's energy centre.
Germany and some other EU members are pushing for stricter rules on state-backed support of power prices. Berlin officials fear Paris will offer state-backed fixed-price contracts for nuclear power to its national energy champion EDF and spend the revenue this raises on supporting French industries.
