PARIS, Oct 27 (Reuters) - EDF (EDF.PA) is expecting a hit of around 32 billion euros ($32.18 billion) to its full-year core earnings from lower nuclear production, a bigger loss than previously estimated and its sixth profit warning this year.
The group, which is in the process of being fully nationalised, confirmed nuclear output would come in at the lower end of a previously announced 280-300 terawatt-hours range - a 30-year low.
In September, EDF had forecast a hit to its earnings of 29 billion euros due to lower production.
The combination of lower output and capped electricity prices means EDF is set to end the year with a big loss.
The company's core earnings or EBITDA in 2021 came in at 18 billion euros.
