basis of existing techniques and methods that are most likely to be used for application of current regulations. The current costs are based on Baseline Decommissioning Plans produced in 2016 (3-year revision) and approved in 2013 and assume that plants will be decommissioned and the land will ultimately be

decommissioning

Provisions for decommissioning of nuclear plants result from management’s best estimates. They cover the full cost of decommissioning and are measured on the

PLANT DECOMMISSIONING EXPENSES

The table above concerns decommissioning obligations excluding the present value of decommissioning contributions payable to the NLF, which is €122 million at 31 December 2017 (see note 29.2.1).

Corporate bonds rated A to AA, again over the longest-term duration. The implicit inflation rate used in determining a discount rate is based on a long-term forecast of adjusted retail prices (the UK’s CPIH index). At 31 December 2017, EDF Energy applied a real discount rate of 2.7% to nuclear liabilities in the United Kingdom (2.7% at 31 December 2016).

Other provisions for decommissioning principally concern fossil-fired power plants, hydrocarbon production assets and installations for the production of nuclear fuel assemblies. The costs of decommissioning fossil-fired power plants are calculated using regularly updated studies based on estimated future costs, measured by reference

to the charges recorded on past operations and the most recent estimates for plants still in operation. The provision recorded at 31 December 2017 reflects the most recent known contractor quotes and commissioning of new generation assets.
