She imposes high demands on Engie because she wants to avoid passing on the costs of the nuclear legacy to the population. The clicking of the billions is therefore what it is all about.
Why are contractual arrangements like these still “unclear” or “negotiated” after 50 years of life of the power plants?
If I am not mistaken, all the costs of decommission and nuclear waste treatment are born to Engie. Or is it that they can somehow break the agreement with any “last minute” change?
