British Energy was the UK's largest electricity generation company by volume, before being taken over by Électricité de France (EDF) in 2009.[1] British Energy operated eight former UK state-owned nuclear power stations and one coal-fired power station.
From 1 July 2010 the rebranding of British Energy locations and communications to EDF Energy commenced as part of its incorporation into the parent group, following around 17 months of dual branding. This was concluded with the renaming of the operating company from British Energy Generation Limited to EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited on 1 July 2011.[2]
