In the words of Pierre Gadonneix, EDF’s chairman and chief executive officer: “the extension of the Iffezheim hydraulic power station allows EDF and EnBW to increase their capacity to produce electricity without CO2 emissions. The venture is part of the Group’s strategy to develop renewable energy, particularly hydraulic energy, which is the first renewable energy to be exploited by EDF. Thus, together with electricity from nuclear energy, hydroelectricity helps meet people’s growing demands for electricity and international commitments to combat global warming.”
