RWE and E.ON pull the plug on UK nuclear new build

摘要

Plans for a new generation of new nuclear power stations were rocked in March as the two major Germany-based utilities RWE and E.ON announced that they would seek new investors for their 50-50 UK joint venture Horizon Nuclear Power, which was established in 2009. The two companies will not proceed with building nuclear power plants in the UK and only EDF Energy has been suggested as a possible new investor in Horizon.
