Jean-Bernard Lévy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EDF, said, “2014 was a good year for EDF, which achieved solid operating and financial results, with, in particular, an excellent showing by low-carbon energies. In France, nuclear output exceeded our target and the Group achieved its lowest level of CO2 emissions ever. EDF Énergies Nouvelles beat its record for new solar and wind power plant construction in the world. The energy transition is an opportunity for the Group to make the most of its unique technologies and skills. I believe that EDF has everything going for it to be a major player and thus to consolidate its global leadership.”
