Electricite de France SA, Europe’s largest nuclear-reactor operator, will decide whether to extend the lives of its U.K. Hunterston B and Hinkley B plants by 2013 as the government plans to boost clean-energy power generation.
The decision will hinge on the commercial viability of the plants and successful reviews by Britain’s nuclear watchdog, a spokeswoman at EDF said today in response to queries.
