Download or read book The Restructuring of British Energy written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2006-03-17 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Energy was privatised in 1996. In 2002, the price of electricity fell and on 5 September 2002, the Company applied to the Department of Trade and Industry (the Department) for financial assistance. In November 2002, the Department agreed to provide financial assistance with the proviso that the Company's financial arrangements would be restructured. This report deals with the financial aid that the Department gave to British Energy and the terms of the restructuring of British Energy. The Department decided to intervene because, in its assessment, unplanned closures of British Energy's nuclear power stations would have had safety implications and put electricity supplies at risk. The Department took on responsibility for a large proportion of the company's liabilities, to be funded through a Nuclear Liabilities Fund, though there was no up-to-date estimate of those liabilities. (These estimates are to be updated every five years now.) In February 2006 British Energy estimated liabilities at £5,287 million. The restructuring mechanism is for a cash sweep, so that the company contributes more to the Fund when it is doing well. In the 12 months following completion of restructuring in January 2005, the wholesale electricity price rose sharply and the Company's share price more than doubled. The electricity market has, however, proved to be particularly volatile over recent years. The Nuclear Liabilities Fund is left particularly exposed to British Energy's financial and operational performance. Day-to-day responsibility for monitoring various aspects of the Company's performance currently lies with a number of teams within the Department. There remains a real risk that information learned by the different teams is not shared quickly and evaluated and that insufficient staff resources are committed to safeguarding the taxpayer's significant interest. To assist its management of the taxpayer's interest, the Department will need to prepare sufficiently comprehensive contingency plans to enable it to act quickly under the range of scenarios that might arise.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Energy is the UK's largest electricity generating company, with an annual turnover of £2.6 billion in 2005-06. Its eight nuclear power stations generate approximately one fifth of the electricity used in England and Wales and half of that used in Scotland. Its privatisation in 1996 raised £2.1 billion for the Government, and British Energy took responsibility for all its nuclear liabilities, including the disposal of spent nuclear fuels and the decommissioning of power stations. Following on from the NAO report on this topic (HCP 943, session 2006-07; ISBN 9780102937275) published in March 2006, the Committee's report examines the role of the Department of Trade and Industry in the financial restructuring of the company, and how it is monitoring and influencing the company's performance and managing the nuclear liabilities taken on by the taxpayer. The report finds that, as a result of the its restructuring, the taxpayer has been left to underwrite a large and uncertain liability, recently valued at £5.3 billion, a figure that may well rise further. The Department spent £29 million on advisers during the restructuring, but of the four main firms it employed only one was appointed by competition.

This book was released on 2010-01-22 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Energy was the largest independent energy generator in the UK and owner of sites viewed by industry as the most suitable for new nuclear power stations. The Government sold its 36 per cent interest in the company to EDF Energy for £4.4 billion in January 2009. The final cash offer from EDF was 774 pence per share - 10 per cent higher than the valuation by the Shareholder Executive, the Government agency that managed the sale. Movement in energy prices after completion of the sale show that EDF put forward its offer when energy prices were at a peak. The Government's primary strategic objective for the sale was to ensure nuclear operators are able to build and operate new nuclear stations from the earliest date with no public subsidy. There was no binding commitment to build new nuclear power stations as a condition of the sale so it is too early to say whether the sale will enable the Government to achieve its strategic objective. But EDF's acquisition of British Energy has improved the prospect of investment in new nuclear power stations. While the Government no longer has a direct financial interest in British Energy, it remains responsible for funding any shortfall in the future cost of decommissioning British Energy's existing nuclear power stations. The Shareholder Executive did not carry out a formal assessment of the impact of the sale on the risks that taxpayers might have to bear if, for example, the new owner operated British Energy's power stations in a way that required earlier decommissioning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Energy is the UK's largest electricity generator, with a stock of eight nuclear power stations and an annual turnover of over £2 billion. With privatisation in 1996, the Government raised £2.1 billion from the sale, and the company assumed responsibility for all its nuclear liabilities (including the disposal of spent nuclear fuels and decommissioning of power stations). When, in September 2002, the company declared difficulties in meeting these liabilities, the Government (given its overall responsibility for safe nuclear management) granted a £410 million credit to stabilise the company's trading position. A formal restructuring deal was announced in October 2003, which has meant that the DTI is ultimately exposed to British Energy's remaining £3.9 billion liabilities. Following on from previous reports on the topic (produced by the Committee (HCP 242, session 1998-99; ISBN 0102122997) in February 1999 and the NAO (HCP 264, session 2003-04; ISBN 0102927138) in February 2004), this report examines the extent to which risks originally transferred have been accepted back, as well as the DTI's monitoring of British Energy's viability. Findings include that the Government failed to establish proper risk management arrangements and lacked proper information on the company's deteriorating financial position.
