“Utilities – talks about nuclear waste deal continue”
Reuters
Talks between the federal government and the big four utilities E.ON, RWE EnBW and Vattenfall on nuclear waste storage are not as close to conclusion as a report by Börsen-Zeitung suggested, writes Reuters. The stock market newspaper had reported that the deal was close to conclusion and saw the energy companies pay 26.4 billion euros into a state-administered fund as early as the end of 2016. “We don’t know this figure and consider it false,” an RWE spokesperson told Reuters.
