EDF plays political game in attempt at international expansion

Major feature looks at EdF and its current challenges and prospects both within France and internationally. In the last four years the company has been partially privatised, debt has been brought down, liabilities reduced and problems with its Italian subsidiary Edison resolved with a bilateral energy accord. Now, in spite of the pain of the previous spending spree, EDF now has one of the strongest European portfolios of any energy player, with leading positions in the UK, Italy and Germany.
