The EU has unveiled the third tranche of its liberalization package aimed at overhauling the European energy sector. The reforms focus on the setup of state-owned utilities and reiterate the EU's plans to enforce network unbundling. However, while anxious energy giants have been vocal in their opposition to the reforms, dissatisfied reformers are accusing the EU of not going far enough.

As in many other EU markets, the French gas distribution systems are owned and operated by utilities that are also involved in retail operations. A key example of this is distribution system operator GDF. Evidently, this situation is problematic, as there is real potential for conflicts of interest for the retail suppliers and their affiliated network businesses.

EDF chairman Pierre Gadonneix has been quoted by the Financial Times as saying that he plans to make further investments outside of the EU in response to European energy market liberalization. Given the market share that EDF is likely to lose in the wake of liberalization, this is a judicious move, particularly because of the firm's leading nuclear capabilities.

The long-running saga of the Suez/GdF merger has moved a step closer to completion following regulatory approval in France. Shareholders will now vote on the tie-up in July, but this is expected to be a formality as most of the hard bargaining was done in 2007. As the merger's completion moves closer, the European energy landscape is likely to shift as the new entity looks for market openings.

EDF has finally agreed to acquire British Energy, with the promise of a 25% share in the GBP12.5 billion deal for Centrica. The UK government believes that the deal marks significant progress towards securing Britain's future power supply, and by including Centrica, it can claim to have mitigated the negative publicity from effectively placing national energy policy in another government's hands.

In September 2008, EDF announced it was to acquire British Energy for GBP12.5 billion, with a 25% stake going to British utilities giant Centrica as part of the deal. In light of recent declines in commodity prices, Centrica's shareholders have raised questions over the company's involvement in the deal, however, over the long-term, the investment may turn out to be a shrewd move.

EDF's recent acquisitions have significantly increased its nuclear asset base. Having acquired British Energy and part of Constellation earlier this year, as well as announcing plans to build 10 new nuclear plants in France and the UK, it has been reported that EDF is considering divesting its UK distribution assets. This would allow it to focus its resources on the nuclear generation renaissance.

EDF and Centrica have finally struck a deal concluding the long running sale of British Energy. After months of negotiations it will come as a relief to both parties, but while EDF walks away with GBP2.3 billion and a 51% stake in SPE, the terms that Centrica secured will reap more immediate gains for the former UK incumbent.

EDF has appointed Deutsche Bank to advise it on the sale of its UK power grid infrastructure assets as the power producer looks to wipe E5 billion of debt off its balance sheet. While the move to auction the UK's largest distribution network is set to cause widespread interest, the timing and speed at which this is being processed could suggest that EDF's hand is being forced.
