EDF Will Not Purchase Abandoned Horizon Nuclear Project

EDF Will Not Purchase Abandoned Horizon Nuclear Project

The joint venture originally intended to invest in new plants in Anglesey and Oldbury, but last week the companies announced they were cancelling the plans due to financial reasons. The UK government hoped EDF would step in and save the project, but the French energy giant has decided to go in a different direction.
