Biography

 Dominique Minière graduated from the Paris Ecole des Mines in 1978. He joined EDF as an engineer in 1982, swiftly rising to head the maintenance department of the division in charge of operating French nuclear and thermal power stations. Nearly one-third of the currently running power stations went into service during this period. Mr. Minière was involved in starting up the Golfech nuclear power station (Tarn-et-Garonne), from 1986 to 1989, and the Daya Bay nuclear power station in China, from 1993 to 1997. That year he joined the team at the Cattenom power station (Moselle), becoming the director in 1999. From 2002 to 2013 Mr. Minière successively held the positions of Assistant Director and Director of the Nuclear Production Division, which oversees EDF’s 58 nuclear power stations in France. In March 2013 he became Deputy Director of the Generation Division, which is responsible for all of EDF’s nuclear, thermal and hydroelectric power stations. Since January 2015 Mr. Minière has been a member of the Group’s Executive Committee, where, in addition to his previous duties, he is in charge of thinking about changes in the organisation of existing nuclear facilities and fossil-fuel-powered stations.
