AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The arrêté issued on March 27, 2026, sets the unit tariff reduction applicable under the universal nuclear payment scheme for the year 2026. The Commission for Regulation of Energy (CRE) has determined that due to estimated null revenue from taxes on nuclear fuel use, the proposed unit reduction tariff will be set at 0 € per megawatt-hour, meaning there will be no financial reduction for electricity prices associated with nuclear energy production for this year. This decision reflects an analysis based on current energy market conditions and revenue projections.
