BE said it wants to take advantage of the government's intention to build
new nuclear plants
Unquote.

Anyone else think this is significant news??

[igoe104] 17/11/2006 12:50

Is their any other companies that will have some exposure to nuclear energy worth watching ?

Royaloak...your slitting hairs!!

[royaloak] 17/11/2006 09:13

jeeves2

Next week or today?

[jeeves2] 17/11/2006 08:41

back up to 480 next week

[elsworth] 17/11/2006 08:14

Another resignation from the board!!!!!!!
SELL down to £3.10

[sravi] 16/11/2006 16:51

Sell at 470p or you have sold at 470p?

[bpoole] 16/11/2006 13:21

Sell at 470.

EARNINGS PREVIEW: British Energy EBITDA Seen At GBP209M

Wednesday, November 15, 2006 1:51:34 PM

1731 GMT [Dow Jones] British Energy (BGY.LN) seen Friday posting a rise in 2Q 06 adjusted EBITDA of GBP209M, according to a poll of 5 analysts by Dow Jones Newswires. 2Q 05 figures aren't available since the company will be restating its historical data but analysts expect EBITDA to rise due to burgeoning power prices. Analysts are seeking an update on problems with boiler tube cracking at the Hunterston B and Hinkley Point B power plants and prolonged maintenance at the Hartlepool power plant. British Energy closes -1.1% at 485p. (EHM)

Invest or pay later, energy agency warns
By Tom Stevenson Last Updated: 1:01am GMT 08/11/2006


Nuclear power: an option according to the IEA's Claude Mandil

Comment: Our addiction to fossil fuels is a habit we must kick
Investment of $20,000bn (£10,480bn) is needed to quench the world's growing thirst for energy, the International Energy Agency has warned.

Without more efficient power generation and energy use, the world faces a sharp rise in greenhouse gas emissions, more expensive energy and a growing dependence on the world's most unstable regions, the IEA said.

Nuclear power: an option according to the IEA's Claude Mandil
Paris-based IEA, set up to advise governments after the first 1970s oil shock, has also backed nuclear power for the first time. Claude Mandil, IEA executive director, said "nuclear power remains a potentially attractive option for enhancing the security of electricity supply and mitigating CO2 emissions".

Mr Mandil said: "The energy future we are facing today, based on projections of current trends is dirty, insecure and expensive."

He said the next 10 years were critical because investment decisions made over the next decade could determine the energy landscape for the next 60 years.

But Mr Mandil painted a brighter picture, in which the immediate introduction of efficiency and technological advances could curb the worst effects of spiralling energy use over the next 25 years. "New government policies can create an alternative energy future which is clean, clever and competitive," he added.

The IEA's 600-page World Energy Outlook sets out a business-as-usual base-case, in which energy demand increases by 53pc by 2030. Most of the rise is expected to come from developing countries such as China and India.

Fossil fuels continue to dominate global energy over the period, with coal seeing the biggest rise in demand. That is expected to lead to 55pc more CO2 emissions, with China overtaking the US as the top polluter in 2009.

Developing countries are forecast to account for over three quarters of the increase in global CO2 emissions between 2004 and 2030. Because they use proportionately more coal and less gas, emissions in these countries rise faster than energy use.

The IEA's Alternative Policy Scenario shows what might happen if the world implements energy policies currently under review. These include greater use of biofuels, nuclear power growth and more fuel efficient vehicles.

Full implementation of 1,400 measures could reduce global energy demand by 10pc in 2030, equivalent to China's entire energy consumption today, the IEA said.

The measures would also reduce global CO2 emissions by 16pc, equivalent to the current emissions of the US and Canada combined.

The IEA estimates that every $1 spent on more efficient electrical equipment and appliances avoids more than $2 in investment in power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure.

Despite a sharp rise in the oil price in recent years, investment by oil and gas producers to meet higher demand had been disappointing, the report said. Although spending had risen since 2000, in cost-inflation adjusted terms investment had risen by only 5pc by 2005.

Biofuels, currently 1pc of road fuel consumption, are expected to increase in importance up to as much as 7pc of total consumption.

I am not shorting.
I bought at 230.
I just see the 400 being tested.

[sravi] 07/11/2006 11:52

Continue to short this shares. I will go long!

[bpoole] 07/11/2006 10:21

Back down to 400?

[karateboy] 02/11/2006 19:10

BGY needs another 20% rise to make sure it does not drop out of ftse 100.

[daveram13] 30/10/2006 15:57

Looks like large institutional investors are starting to buy back whilst price is low. Maybe a good time to acquire more shares (DYOR).

[careful] 27/10/2006 17:13

is there an acceptance standard for cracks.?
how long are they?
if there is a leak is the water radioactive?

these are all routine engineering questions in the power industry and part of risk assessment.
i bet cracks have always been there and may be quite safe.

this is worth a punt.

[bpoole] 27/10/2006 07:28

I must admit I can't see any good news coming out of the
company for a while, and with the age of the reactors we
could well see a stream of bad news.

[jonak] 26/10/2006 17:21

Hi Hightech
I'm aiming for parity, so I'd better buy some more

[h4rsh2] 26/10/2006 15:03

Deutsche Bank has sold 1.12% of holdings(6.37m shares)...
I still think they will sell more in the near future and other
institutions will follow.This will continue to happen as long as
time and money figures are not disclosed

[farnesbarnes] 26/10/2006 14:53

falling knives, dead cat bounces, etc etc etc...

[bpoole] 26/10/2006 14:50

Good support at 400.
