The article assesses the legal provisions of the Energy Transition towards Green Growth Act adopted in 2015 in France supposed to allow the reduction of the share of nuclear energy in the electricity generation mix from 75% currently to 50% by 2025.

As this article highlights, the mechanisms of the Energy Transition Act remain inadequate and inefficient to reach this goal. (Registration required)
