PARIS, May 28 (Reuters) - French power group EDF will decommission the last two power producing units of the Cordemais coal plant in western France on May 31, 2027 and is studying using the site for a nuclear piping facility, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

The Cordemais coal plant is one of the last coal-fired power plants in France, where the power mix is dominated by EDF's nuclear reactors, and operates mostly during the winter when power demand for heating increases.

The utility has begun a study for on-site construction of a nuclear piping plant which is scheduled to be commissioned at the end of 2028, and will eventually employ up to 200 people, the statement said.

The company has plans to expand its nuclear fleet and is working on financing six new reactors, which a nuclear piping plant could eventually furnish.

EDF in September cancelled plans to convert the coal-fired power plant to a biomass plant, as the technical and economic conditions for carrying out the conversion project were not met, the utility said.
