EDF’s nuclear reactors will be powered by LYNXEO’s ENERGEN® nuclear cables

Lynxeo will supply specialized ENERGEN® cables to meet EDF’s needs across its various new nuclear projects, including the six EPR2 reactors to be built in France, as well as for its operational fleet.

Paris, November 4th, 2025 – Lynxeo, a leader in the design and manufacture of cable solutions for industry has been awarded a major contract by EDF to supply the majority of the specialized nuclear cables that will play a key control and safety role in France’s EPR2 program, as well as for its existing fleet. Over the next 12 years, Lynxeo will supply approximately 15,000 km of ENERGEN® cables for the construction of six EDF EPR2 reactors.

The multi-project framework agreement covers the supply of Lynxeo’s ENERGEN specializ instrumentation, control and power cables, rated K1, K2, K3, developed specifically for nuclear installations. To satisfy the most rigorous safety standards, Lynxeo ENERGEN halogen-free cables have been developed to comply with the Euroclass requirements for reaction to fire. They will be manufactured at the Lynxeo factory in Mehun-sur-Yèvre, France.

“The key factor in winning this major contract is that we demonstrated commitment to partner with EDF for seamless integration of our products into EDF’s systems. We also proved our capability as a French supplier to provide technical support from design consultation to installation and beyond,
combined with the dedicated production capacity to ensure security of supply,” explains Olivier Dervout, Nuclear Global Market Director at Lynxeo.

“Lynxeo is one of the recipients of the multi-project framework contract for cable supply. The multi-project cable supply contract won by Lynxeo is a further step in the equipment standardization process undertaken by the EDF Group to limit the diversity of references in its nuclear fleet and the project to build six EPR2 reactors in France. I am convinced that we will improve the quality and performance of our nuclear projects through equipment standardization. To this end, we are working with our suppliers in a spirit of partnership to create the conditions for success that will contribute to the smooth running of our industrial projects.” said Alain Tranzer, Group Executive Director Engineering and Supply Chain Management (DISC).

Lynxeo’s success as a pioneering member of France’s nuclear supply chain is based on its long history of excellence and innovation in the cable industry, with proven capacity to supply cables meeting the strictest safety, performance, and durability standards. This capability includes deep understanding of the unique challenges of nuclear environments, with customized cables designed to withstand radiation, thermal aging, and accident scenarios. State-of-the-art production facilities also ensure exceptional cable quality, optimized for large-scale projects like EPR2, with strict quality control from raw materials to final inspection.
