    France’s electricity, which were 70-80% nuclear at the time, didn’t see any increase in price.

    Yes, because the government decided they couldn’t raise the price.

    Électricité de France (EDF) – the country’s main electricity generation and distribution company – manages the country’s 56 power reactors.[5] EDF is fully owned by the French Government.
