In France though EDF has become a monopoly recently. I'm pretty sure the government fully intends to sell it as produced to French industries and individuals. Why wouldn't it? It is financed by us, we should reap its rewards.
Some others folks in the EU have chosen others means with lesser or unknown EROEI. But hey, their sovereign choices, their consequences. It's not like France is preventing them from doing nuclear.
I guess we'll see in a few years; but CfDs going over decades and being backed by governments I think it's safe to plan around this price.
