EDF is keeping its head down on this one and is ready to swallow the difference, because they know a political loser when they see one.
As everywhere, people hate higher energy prices. The next few years should be fun for politicians... In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
And glory of glories, just the day before the socialist pm was on TV saying the power market is wonderful and high electricity prices are a good thing! Elections are in 2 weeks and the awful socialist will hopefully be thrown out. Reregulation by a centre-right government is not unthinkable in this absurd country.
