British Energy Share Discussion Threads

That's what I thought Nirag. - UK govt own 65% and the've announced selling between 20% - 30%. What foxes me is that the above stats don't add up!

The top 7 holders plus the govt stake works out at a total of 108%! Can't figure out where I've gone wrong, and I ain't got the energy to read all the rns releases again!

65% by government

[sat69] 20/2/2007 18:51

Below are the large shareholders as indicated by rns releases this year: -

Axa 11%
Deutsche Bank 10%
Prudential 6%
Barclays 6%
L & G 3%
Goldman Sachs 3%
Wellington Management 4%

Above total = 43%

Can anybody please help me by posting a link showing what the UK Govt own? Clearly if it is around 50%, these are so tightly held we can expect a small volume to move the share price wildly.

Heavy trading today -already 36 mill gone through. Bound to be some huge after hours trades and probably an rns showing increased holdings.

[sat69] 20/2/2007 15:43

Expect to build on this tomorrow. Easily back to 420p by the end of the week

[philjh] 20/2/2007 14:22

rising again spacemoggy - you could even be in profit in the not too distant future!!

[sat69] 20/2/2007 14:14

Coming back strongly - back to 410p bid and near the days high.

Was bound to be a bout of profit taking this morning Phil, i still need another 10 points to break even, depends maybe what sort of mood the yanks are in later...Rick

[philjh] 20/2/2007 12:09

presume a bit of profit taking after this morning's sharp rise

[philjh] 20/2/2007 10:45

seemed to have settled around the 410 mark ..... which way next ... up or down anybody?

[peart] 20/2/2007 09:53

Agree - just keep it here guys and gals.

[philjh] 20/2/2007 09:26

a new thread is pointless - suggest to everyone that we keep to this one please

[peart] 20/2/2007 09:24

£4 area has to be the bottom - surely. Probably wishful thinking, but as we can see today, any positive news and the share prices makes a very nice pop up.

[maqsud] 20/2/2007 09:18

this has broken out of moving averages ..next stop 440p..roll on!!!!!!

British Energy Started Nuclear Unit at Hartlepool (Update1)

By Armorel Kenna

Feb. 19 (Bloomberg) -- British Energy Group Plc, whose nuclear reactors can produce about a fifth of the U.K.'s power, started a generation unit at the Hartlepool nuclear plant yesterday.

Hartlepool 2, with a capacity of about 605 megawatts, started production at about 5:30 p.m. local time yesterday, Sue Fletcher, a spokeswoman for British Energy, said in a phone interview today.

``It's on its way'' to full capacity, Fletcher said.

Hartlepool 2 was operating at 200 megawatts this morning, according to data on a Web site operated by National Grid Plc. The other unit at Hartlepool was operating at 600 megawatts.

The plant halted unit 2 for planned refueling on Feb. 10.

Five other British Energy units in the U.K. remain closed, including its 550-megawatt Dungeness B 22 unit, two 610-megawatt units at Hinkley Point B and two 600-megawatt units at Hunterston B, the Web site showed.
