I skimmed your posts but they don't blame EU rules. Can you point to EU regulation which caused this?
ARENH looks like a mechanism by which France wanted to entice competition in end customer sales (and distribution?) of electricity.
- mpweiher 1y agoThe ARENH program originated with EU liberalization efforts. https://fsr.eui.eu/regulated-access-to-incumbent-nuclear-electricity/ https://fsr.eui.eu/regulated-access-to-incumbent-nuclear-ele...
- oezi 1y agoI read your link and I don't see why you say originated. This is a French law. My understanding is that EDF wanted to take a stake in a German energy producer and to approve such a takeover the EU as the market authority required some type of market liberalization of the French energy market. France chose to use the mechanism of ARENH. This isn't an EU thing.
- mpweiher 1y agoIt's a French law to comply with EU requirements. That's usually how that works. The EU makes rules and national parliaments create local laws to comply. Of course they could have chosen another way to comply, for example breaking up EDF. But they didn't want to do that, probably for good reasons.
