Electricite de France SA, the world’s biggest operator of atomic plants, remains committed to developing nuclear reactors in the U.K. even after Germany’s two biggest utilities abandoned projects in the country.
EDF has no intention of following EON AG and RWE AG, which announced last week they’ll scrap a plan to build reactors in Britain through their Horizon venture, Chief Executive Officer Henri Proglio told reporters today in Paris. “The British government is eager to develop new sources of energy and we will accompany them,” he said.
