PARIS, Sept 29 (Reuters) – President Emmanuel Macron has decided to appoint Luc Rémont CEO of EDF to replace current CEO Jean-Bernard Lévy, Le Figaro newspaper reported on Thursday.
The French State announced in July its intention to launch a takeover bid at 12 euros per share on the approximately 16% of EDF’s capital that it does not yet hold and to replace its CEO, Jean-Bernard Lévy, while the group is faced with a historically low availability of its nuclear fleet, which is aggravating the energy crisis in Europe.
