France’s electricity market reform will take effect on January 1, 2026 with the disappearance of the regulated access to historical nuclear electricity mechanism, known as Arenh. Created in 2011, this system required Électricité de France (EDF) to sell part of its nuclear output at a fixed price to competitors and industrial users. It will be replaced by a new system under which EDF will be able to sell all of its production at market prices.
