Soon, the French energy giant EDF, nationalized since June 2023, will have a new boss: Bernard Fontana, the director general of Framatome, subsidiary of EDF. His appointment must still be approved by the commissions interested in the Assembly and the Senate. The current CEO, Luc Rémont, at the head of the public company since November 2022, had to face major challenges. From his appointment, he faced the energy crisis in France with the war in Ukraine and the corrosion problems that affected the French nuclear park. Despite a good annual assessment with production at the highest for 5 years and an export record, differences will not have enabled the renewal of its mandate which ends this summer.
