The 2012 election pledge by former French president Francois Hollande aimed to limit nuclear’s share of French generation to 50% by 2025, and to close Fessenheim – the country’s oldest plant – by the end of his five-year term, which ended in May 2017. In June 2014, following a national energy debate, his government announced the country’s nuclear generating capacity would be capped at the current level of 63.2 GWe. It would also be limited to 50% of France’s total output by 2025. The French Energy Transition for Green Growth Law was adopted in August 2015.
