EPA:EDF 17 June 2025 - 30 December 2025

France vows stable electricity bills in 2026 — but new charges could still push costs up

France vows stable electricity bills in 2026 — but new charges could still push costs up

France will scrap its ARENH nuclear pricing scheme on Jan. 1, giving EDF more freedom to sell nuclear power. The government says regulated electricity tariffs should remain broadly stable in 2026 and 2027. A new mechanism will claw back excess EDF nuclear revenues above set thresholds, but officials say it is unlikely to trigger soon. Consumer group UFC-Que Choisir warns a separate policy could add about 50 euros to annual household energy bills.

From Atoms for Peace to the Nuclear Brink: The Shocking Timeline of Iran’s Nuclear Program (1950s–2025)

From Atoms for Peace to the Nuclear Brink: The Shocking Timeline of Iran’s Nuclear Program (1950s–2025)

Iran’s nuclear program began in 1957 with U.S. support and expanded under the Shah, then stalled after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Covert work resumed in the 1980s, with China and the A.Q. Khan network supplying technology. The 2015 JCPOA curbed enrichment, but U.S. withdrawal in 2018 led Iran to exceed limits, amassing 408.6 kg of 60% enriched uranium by May 2025. Mediation talks continue.

  • Petrobras Pre-Salt Oil Dominance Fuels Strong Growth Outlook
    April 10, 2026, 3:56 AM EDT. Petrobras' dominance in Brazil's pre-salt oil fields is driving an 11% production increase in 2025 despite lower oil prices. Pre-salt assets, with breakeven costs below $40 per barrel, are resilient in volatile markets. These fields account for 82% of Petrobras' total output, supported by new FPSO capacity and well start-ups. The company plans to dedicate 60% of its exploration and production capital expenditure to pre-salt projects through 2029, targeting sustained production growth and strong cash flow. Competitors BP and Shell are also expanding pre-salt investments, with BP focusing on its Bumerangue discovery and Shell advancing projects like Mero 3, 4, and Gato do Mato. Petrobras shares surged nearly 75% in three months, outperforming the broader Oil/Energy sector's gain of 28.6%, underscoring investor confidence in the pre-salt strategy.
