a 1,300MW series consisting of 20 units of approximately 1,300MW (for a total ■ power capacity of 26,370MW) with an average age of 29 years; the N4 series, which is the most recent with an average age of 17 years, ■ consisting of 4 units of approximately 1,500MW (for a total power capacity of 5,990MW); for a total of 58 units spread over 19 sites owned by EDF, and constituting a total authorised capacity of 63,130MW as at 31 December 2017. With an average age of approximately 32 years for an estimated technical operating lifespan of over 40 years, EDF’s nuclear fleet is about average compared to the fleets installed worldwide. The commissioning and most recent ten-year inspection (VD) dates for these units as of end-2017 are as follows:

Nuclear power generation in France 1.4.1.1 The electricity generated by EDF in France from its fleet of nuclear power plants represented 89.1% of its total electricity generation in 2017 excluding pumped storage hydropower. EDF's nuclear fleet in France 1.4.1.1.1 EDF’s PWR model is divided into three series of available electrical power: a 900MW series consisting of 34 units of approximately 900MW (for a total ■ power capacity of 30,770MW) with an average age of 36 years;
