Electrification, transport and AI are driving up electricity demand across Asia. How can countries keep power reliable and low-carbon while treating energy supply as a matter of national security? Lynlee Foo speaks with Bernard Fontana, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of EDF. They discuss how nuclear and small modular reactors can work alongside renewables, what a country new to nuclear needs before it builds, and how clear risk-sharing between governments and industry gives investors the confidence to back long-term energy projects.

This interview was brought to you in conjunction with Singapore International Energy Week 2026.
