The French electricity group net profit of 3 billion euro in 2011

Confucius News department reported that French points, February 16, the French electricity company EDF group published quarterly results showed that although the European sovereign debt crisis and the Japanese fukushima nuclear power plants to leak nuclear energy production industry impact is bigger, but the group is still in both countries nuclear power output growth pull, a sharp increase net profit, excess for achieving the financial goals.

Data showed that in 2011, the French electricity group turnover of 65.3 billion euros ($85.6 billion), more than 2010 years after the correction of the turnover of 2.4% growth; Net income up to 3.01 billion euros ($3.9 billion), a year earlier about two times.

Method the group also plans moderate reduce nuclear power output of the proportion of the total capacity, improve clean energy (water conservancy, wind, solar, etc) power output proportion.

The French electricity group was established in 1946, is the major European power production, distribution and vendors, its business covers power generation, transmission and distribution, energy trading and energy sale and so on each link, 2010 total capacity of about 630.4 too watts, revised turnover of 63.9 billion euros ($83.7 billion).
