Reuters•10 minutes agoFactbox: What would a Labour Party government nationalise, and how?
Britain's opposition Labour Party wants to nationalise energy and water infrastructure if it can oust Prime Minister Theresa May's ruling Conservatives from power, reversing decades of pro-privatisation public policy. Despite a national election not being due until 2022, the prospect of nationalisation is worrying investors. Analysts have valued the regulated asset values of water and energy networks potentially facing nationalisation at around 125 billion pounds.

The U.S. now accounts for most of the London-based utility’s revenue and it gets the biggest share of investment. National Grid’s shifting center will come as cold comfort to a company that now has to deal with the threat of nationalization should Britain’s opposition Labour Party win the next U.K. general election.
