Edf Offer For Constellation Is Part Of Nuclear Generator's Ambitious Global Growth Strategy

摘要

Electricite de France, already the biggest nuclear power generator in the world with 66,000 MW at home, is crossing the English Channel to buy British Energy and hoping to cross the Atlantic Ocean to buy more of Constellation Energy Group to solidify its global standing and promote its reactor design. The announcement last Wednesday that EDF was renewing its interest in investing more in nuclear energy in the US after an aborted attempt two months ago should not have been a surprise. EDF has a home market largely fully built in terms of baseload generation. To get bigger, and to optimize what it believes is a winning new technical design, the company needs to expand in Europe, the US and Asia.
