PARIS (Reuters) – The French state does not plan to break up nuclear power group EDF after its nationalization is completed, a Finance Ministry source said on Monday, refuting allegations from a lawmaker that such a plan was in the works. The source also said that it may be possible to avoid opening EDF’s hydropower operations up to competition as demanded in the past by EU competition authorities after the group’s nationalisation.
