Energy group EON signs deal to connect with British power grid
London (AFP) Sept 11, 2008 German energy group EON, which wants to build nuclear power stations in Britain, on Thursday signed an agreement enabling it to connect with the British national power network, an EON spokesman said. The deal, signed with the British group National Grid, calls for the eventual connection of a new nuclear reactor that could be built next to a reactor already in service in Oldbury, near Gloucester in western England. "We clearly want to build new nuclear power stations in the UK; we have a shortlist of sites that we're looking at at the moment and this is kind of dotting the i's and crossing the t's" if we decided to build a station at Oldbury, a spokesman for EON UK told AFP. "But it doesn't mean that we have an application for a new nuclear station at Oldbury," he added. The British government decided at the start of the year to build new reactors to replace the country's ageing nuclear power facilities in a bid to bolster national energy security. Related Links
