The French government Wednesday took the first step in introducing a new
bill that would force French state-controlled power behemoth Electricite de
France SA (EDF.FR) to sell part of its production to competitors at set prices.
In a statement, the French government said the bill on the Nouvelle
Organisation du Marche de l'Electricite, or
NOME
, was
drafted to accommodate the European Commission's concerns over competition. EDF
generates power at low cost from its 58 nuclear plants, while competing power
suppliers have to buy electricity first.
The new system, under which competitors would buy power from EDF up to
"their strictest needs," should be implemented until 2025 and
"capped in terms of volumes," the government said in its statement.
The government didn't elaborate about the price at which EDF would have to sell
part of its production, nor the volume EDF would have to sell under the
NOME
scheme.
