LONDON (ShareCast) - British Energy's total output from its nuclear power stations in the six months to September fell as it suffered from outages at Hartlepool and Heysham 2.

British Energy, which recently agreed to a £12.5bn takeover from EDF and Centrica, expects to reopen its nuclear power stations before the end of the year.

Total output during the period was 22.7 TWh, of which 19.2 TWh was nuclear generated and 3.5 TWh came from coal. That compared with 30.7 TWh in the same period last year, of which 27.8 TWh was nuclear and 2.9 TWh was coal.
