EDF leaves MPs guessing on Hinkley date

摘要

No matter how much he had to squirm in the spotlight, EDF's chief executive in the UK Vincent de Rivaz's strategy was clear - tell MPs EDF is still going to build Hinkley, tell them you agree with the French economy minister that a decision will be made in May, and tell them EDF will make a final decision "very soon" But absolutely don't give them a date - no matter how much they grill you. Not that it stopped MPs on the energy select committee squeezing the slick Frenchman for a date.
