This statement is made by and on behalf of EDF Energy Ltd, its parent company, EDF Energy Holdings Limited, and its subsidiaries, which make up the EDF in the UK as a whole (together, in this statement, referred to as EDF).

We intend to play a leading role in new nuclear build in the UK and secure a bright future for the combined business and its employees. Our society depends on energy to live, work, develop and grow.
