Pakistan sets out ambitious plan to meet future energy needs
Pakistan sets out ambitious plan to meet future energy needs
By By Michael McDonald, / Wednesday, May 10, 2017 9:37 AM
Pakistan announced plans earlier this
week to meet the growing energy needs of the nation’s growing population
through exploitation of its own natural resources. Water and power
ministry officials revealed plans to work with Chinese companies and
their partners in order to build up to a dozen coal fired power plants

The Economic Case For Energy Infrastructure
The Economic Case For Energy Infrastructure
By By Energy Tomorrow Blog, / Wednesday, May 10, 2017 10:00 AM
One of the great things about
America’s recent energy renaissance – which has made the U.S. the
world’s leading natural gas and oil producer and refiner – is the
choices it provides. Before the resurgence in domestic oil and gas
production, our national future was markedly constrained, because our
energy future was constrained. Thanks largely

Assystem strengthens strategic partnership with EDF
Assystem strengthens strategic partnership with EDF committing to participate in the round table of New Areva NP
Assystem announces the submission of an offer to own 5% of the stock in New Areva NP1 along with EDF.
New Areva NP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AREVA NP, in which the assets and activities currently conducted by Areva NP of the design and supply of equipment for nuclear reactors, design and supply of fuel assemblies, and services to a broad installed base of nuclear reactors worldwide will be transferred, with the exception of contracts and means relating to the EPR OL3 project in Finland and some contracts relating to parts forged at the Le Creusot plant.
In this context, Assystem wishes to take part in the reconfiguration of the French nuclear industry and has, accordingly, made an offer to AREVA and EDF (future controlling shareholder of New Areva NP) to own a 5% stake in this new entity, based on a valuation consistent with that drawn up between EDF and AREVA for the stake held by EDF (i.e. a value for 100% of the capital of €2.5 billion, on a debt-free cash-free basis, not including the effect of potential price adjustments).
The commitment made by Assystem will result in an investment of c. €125 m, to be made when New Areva NP will have been fully incorporated and the conditions precedent to its sale by AREVA will have been met.
This commitment is part of a broader agreement with EDF, aimed at consolidating their partnership, particularly for maintenance in operating conditions activities of all civilian nuclear reactors in France and in Great Britain and creating new opportunities for Assystem to take part in new build projects led by the French nuclear industry. It should also help to strengthen Assystem’s links with historical partners of the French nuclear sector (Japanese and Chinese). Furthermore, this participation will not lead to any restriction to the field of collaborations entered into by Assystem with other major international actors (Russian and Korean).

Fukushima Update 5/11/17
The U.N. is “convinced” that Fukushima-produced foods are safe to eat… Iitate rice planting begins for the first time in six years… Tepco posts its FYFY 2016/Q4 progress report on the Nuclear Safety Reform Plan… Fukushima InFORM takes umbrage with an inappropriate use of its data… Tokyo makes Tepco save money for decommissioning F. Daiichi… A “radioactive wildfire” headline is criticized by Fukushima farmer, and they get an apology… and more.
