Centrica to sell its UK nuclear holdings

Centrica to cut 4,000 jobs and sell UK nuclear holdings Beleaguered British Gas owner, lost 1.4 million customers last year The Week, UK Feb 22, 2018

Centrica, the owner of British Gas, is cutting 4,000 jobs and sellings its nuclear holdings amid plummeting profits and customer numbers.

This stake is to be divested, “subject to ensuring alignment with our partner and being sensitive to Government interests”, Centrica said in a statement. ……http://www.theweek.co.uk/centrica/91834/centrica-to-cut-4000-jobs-and-sell-uk-nuclear-holdings
