Electricite de France SA filed a complaint last month to the European Union competition regulator over a Czech utility’s decision to pick a Korean state-owned group as a preferred bidder for the construction of two nuclear reactors.
EDF wants to ensure that Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co.’s offer to CEZ AS respects fundamental European principles, laws and regulations, the French utility — which lost the Czech tender against the Korean group earlier this year — told Bloomberg in a statement Tuesday.
