Must be good value at this level. I'm in for 5000 @ 413.41.

I extect Electricity prices to stay high for a couple of years. This is too cheap IMO.

"Reporting 9 month EBITDA up to 775 mln stg from 462 mln stg, the company
said nuclear output for the full year would fall by 9TWh due to problems with
cracks at the stations' boilers. However this was offset by higher electricity
prices."

correction Hunterston may not run until April but Hinkley should be running as planned end of march. apologies

[scissors] 13/2/2007 10:00

now they,re saying hinckley may not be running by end of march.
i traded on basis of earlier reports. now gone short

Thanks maqsud, I feel a lot better now.
I think the shorters are trying to break 400,
If they do then 350.

[maqsud] 13/2/2007 09:42

have faith..they beat analysts expectations,PS'S back online as within timescale,contracted outage at higher margins agreed until 2011 and new business oppurtunities round the corner which dramatically increase shareholder value...you will see a bounce as they cannot hold the price down much longer as bad news what was expected is just not there... when this starts to move ahead we will see a climb back around 500p very quickly.

[jeeves2] 13/2/2007 09:35

perhaps they say aup here comes bpoole again lets sting him !!

[bpoole] 13/2/2007 09:25

susumary, I got stung, I bought at open, now it looks like we are back on the down trend again. I keep buying stock that should be going up but go down when I buy. Maybe it would have been better if they had halfed the profits.
Looks like the shorters are moving in big time.

[susumary] 13/2/2007 09:12

This is incredible these should have been up 7%.A great buying oportunity
The shorters will have to close out soon

[bpoole] 13/2/2007 08:45

Who would have thought we would have seen red today.
I will never fatom out the markets!!

[maqsud] 13/2/2007 08:28

why MM'S holding this down I dont know...with todays news these should be at least 7-8% up considering all the negative sentiment in the last month...maybe MM'S playing and will see a surge later on..hope so..

[jeeves2] 13/2/2007 08:11

back to £6.00 by the summer

[bpoole] 13/2/2007 07:58

Yup! doubling of profits even with the outages. The future looks bright.

[maqsud] 13/2/2007 07:43

its definately going north now..!!
very good results..we should see a lot of upside as the statement also indicates govt. to make announcement shortly on their 65%stake which seems to me as their selling stake(probably 30%) has fetched a very high price ...

[jeeves2] 12/2/2007 16:19

whatever,its going north

[banny3] 12/2/2007 15:27

think i should have taken profits this morning not looking good

[h4rsh2] 12/2/2007 15:05

435 I don't think so.. DOW not helping..

[maqsud] 12/2/2007 14:29

not much buying on rumours(update on when PS back on line (earlier than anticipated)and solid 3rd qtr results) as we will see buying on the fact ...
probably close more towards 435 on the day end...

[h4rsh2] 12/2/2007 13:46

I am sure the Independent printed that article just to cushion 2moro's
bad results..

[jeeves2] 12/2/2007 13:46

British Energy heralds new nuclear age
Generator in talks with rivals to build new reactors
By Tim Webb
Published: 11 February 2007

British Energy, the nuclear generator, has held talks with Europe's largest power companies about building a new generation of nuclear reactors in the UK.
The company has had meetings with executives from the French group EDF and German group RWE, which owns npower in the UK, ahead of next month's publication of the Government's White Paper on energy. E.ON is also understood to be involved.
The White Paper will pave the way for a renaissance of nuclear power in this country. The Government is expected to make it financially viable for the UK's ageing reactors to be replaced, for example by guaranteeing a minimum electricity tariff for nuclear power.
Most experts believe British Energy, which operates eight nuclear reactors, owns the sites that are most suitable to host new ones. But EDF and RWE, and probably E.ON, have also sent inspection teams to visit older Magnox reactors, owned by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, to assess their suitability as sites for new reactors. Building on existing sites would make planning permission easier to obtain.
The chief executive of British Energy, Bill Coley, will face questions from analysts concerning the company's possible role in a reactor-building programme when it reports third-quarter results on Tuesday.
Negotiations with the German and French companies are at a preliminary stage. A consortium of several companies will probably be needed to lead the new-build programme. British Energy could offer the use of its sites on condition that it is involved in a consortium, but is thought to be reluctant to sell them outright.
The Government took a 65 per cent stake in British Energy in 2002 to prevent it going into administration. Electricity prices have since risen, helping the company to stage a recovery. But it continues to be dogged by technical problems.
Last autumn, two of its reactors, Hinkley Point B and Hunterston B, had to be shut down; British Energy now says they should restart the end of March. When all its reactors are operating as normal, the company produces around a fifth of the UK's electricity.
