France to bolster anti-takeover measures amid foreign investment boom
France wants to tighten takeover rules to protect companies deemed strategic as it walks a fine line between preserving a surge in investments and preventing its technology falling into the hands of foreign powers like China and the United States. In a wide-ranging business bill to be debated in the autumn, President Emmanuel Macron's government is proposing to widen the scope for state intervention and substantially increase the use of "golden shares" to protect national interests.

Britain set for energy price caps after new law approved -regulator
Around 5 million British households are set for lower energy bills this winter after parliament approved a law on gas and electricity tariff price caps, energy regulator Ofgem said on Thursday. Ofgem is now required to cap prices on Standard Variable Tariffs offered by the six dominant energy providers for households using gas and electricity which studies have shown were far higher than other tariffs on offer. Some consumers could save up to 350 pounds a year on gas and electricity bills by switching suppliers," Ofgem said.

Power to the drones: utilities place bets on robots
MILAN/FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Flying robots that can travel dozens of kilometers without stopping could be the next big thing for power companies. Utilities in Europe are looking to long-distance drones to scour thousands of miles of grids for damage and leaks in an attempt to avoid network failures that cost them billions of dollars a year. Snam (SRG.MI) and EDF's (EDF.PA) network subsidiary RTE have tested prototypes of long-distance drones that fly at low altitudes over pipelines and power lines.

Exxon beefs up Mozambique LNG project to cut costs ahead of bank talks
Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) will expand its Rovuma liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Mozambique by half to cut production costs as the partners prepare to book the plant's supply and formally tap lenders in September, the company told Reuters. The U.S. oil giant took charge of the East African LNG project's onshore operations following a $2.8 billion (2.12 billion pounds)deal with Italy's Eni (ENI.MI) last year, adding to its slate of planned gas projects in Qatar, Papua New Guinea, Russia and the United States. It now aims to build the world's biggest liquefaction units, or trains, outside Qatar, in Mozambique's remote north, shelving former operator Eni's more modest blueprint in pursuit of cost savings to boost returns on investment.

European Court Rules in Favor of U.K. Support to EDF's Hinkley
The European Court of Justice, the region’s highest court, ruled Thursday in support of the U.K. government’s aid to help Electricite de France SA build Britain’s first new nuclear plant in decades. The U.K. government agreed to pay EDF much more than the current wholesale rate for electricity produced from the station once it’s up and running, a subsidy that was approved under Europe’s state aid rules. Austria, which filed a court challenge to overturn the European Commission’s 2014 decision to back the U.K. measures, called the decision “regrettable” and will consider appealing the decision.

Curb new nuclear plants and back renewables, UK government advisers say
Britain should not back more than one new nuclear plant after Hinkley Point C is built before 2025 because renewable energy is the lowest cost for consumers, an independent advisory group to the government said on Tuesday. Britain plans to build a new fleet of nuclear plants to replace ageing coal and nuclear reactors set to close in the 2020s as well as to help cut the country's carbon emissions.

Cheaper Green Power in Britain Could Put Nuclear in the Shade
Renewables can generate half of Britain’s power by 2030 without adding to consumer bills, potentially crowding out nuclear as a significant low carbon source of electricity. It recommended the government should make 50 percent a minimum target for 2030 up from 30 percent now. It said taxpayers should only support one more nuclear power station before 2025.
