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.
