French energy and utilities company Suez (SZE), which plans to merge with Gaz de France (1020848.FR) in the first half of 2008, is interested in building and operating nuclear power plants in the European Union, the company reaffirmed.
Suez CEO Gerard Mestrallet, who is set to lead the future GdF-Suez combine, confirmed Monday at a joint conference with GdF CEO Jean-Francois Cirelli, that the company is examining opportunities in Bulgaria, Romania and the U.K., a company spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday.
Mestrallet did not exclude the possibility of building a European pressurized reactor, EPR, in France, the spokeswoman added.
