Eiffage FOUG.PA announced on Thursday that it had signed a contract worth more than 4 billion euros with EDF to carry out the civil engineering work for the first two EPR2 type reactors in Penly (Seine-Maritime).
Preparatory work will begin in mid-2024 subject to administrative authorizations being obtained by EDF, indicates the construction group in a press release.
The work will focus in particular on the construction of the enclosure of each reactor and machine rooms, specifies Eiffage.
The project will require the mobilization of nearly 4,000 people at the peak of construction and will generate 1.3 million hours reserved for the integration and employment of people with disabilities.
