Additional details on the AlphaValue report concerning the financial situation of EDF

EDF strongly contests the alleged accounting and financial analyses by the firm AlphaValue carried out at the request of Greenpeace and relating to the situation of EDF.

EDF recalls that its accounts are audited and certified by its statutory auditors⁽¹⁾ and that the dismantling costs of EDF's existing nuclear power fleet have also been subject to an audit mandated by the French Ministry of the Environment, Energy and the Sea; the summary audit report, made public on 15 January 2016, confirms EDF's estimates.

EDF files a criminal complaint to draw the consequences of these false allegations and this misleading information.
