ArcelorMittal Secures Long-Term Low-Carbon Power Supply From EDF

ArcelorMittal S.A. MT and EDF have signed a Nuclear Power Production Allocation Contract (“CAPN”) to secure a long-term supply of low-carbon electricity. This marks a major step in ArcelorMittal’s energy strategy in France. The agreement, which was finalized on Dec. 26, 2025, following a letter of intent signed in January 2024, will ensure supply to MT’s sites in France.

Deliveries under the agreement began on Jan. 1, 2026. It includes an allocation of a share of EDF’s capacity of its operating nuclear fleet to MT for a period of 18 years. The contract is a key component of ArcelorMittal’s efforts to strengthen its steel production in France while advancing its decarbonization objectives.

The agreement would provide long-term access to low-carbon electricity at a competitive price. It highlights the role of EDF in delivering industrial customers with low-carbon, competitive electricity available over the long term, contributing to both decarbonization of industry and to France’s energy sovereignty. The collaboration supports regional growth and sustainability goals.

MT’s shares have gained 116.8% over the past year compared with the industry’s 49.7% growth.
