French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed a new CEO at state-owned utility EDF, as it gears up to build six new nuclear reactors in the country in coming years.

Bernard Fontana, currently head of nuclear engineering group Framatome, majority owned by EDF, will take over from Luc Remont. The move comes days after the Elysee said it had agreed on a state loan for at least half the construction costs of six new reactors, clearing a key hurdle for the ambitious project first proposed by Macron in 2022.
