EDF’s Board of Directors meeting on 27 July 2017, under the chairmanship of Jean-Bernard Lévy, approved the consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2017.
Jean-Bernard Lévy, EDF’s Chairman and CEO, stated:
“In an unfavourable market context and in line with its forecasts, the Group is continuing to implement its performance plan and maintains its annual objectives. Based on its strengthened balance sheet, EDF is deploying its CAP 2030 strategy. The first half of 2017 was marked by an acceleration in the area of renewable energies, with, in particular, the takeover of Futuren and the increase in installed net capacity. The reorganisation of the French nuclear sector has also reached essential and positive milestones in recent months. I would like to thank our teams for their daily efforts to make EDF the leader in low-carbon growth.”
