The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and British Energy Group plc are pleased to announce an agreement under which British Energy will market the electrical output of NDA's power stations over their remaining lives.

NDA's Magnox nuclear power stations (Wylfa and Oldbury) are forecast to generate approximately 7TWh per annum over the life of the agreement which is expected to last until 2011.

Mark Leggett, Commercial Director at the NDA said "The agreement provides the NDA with certainty and confidence in the continuity of trading services with a service provider that understands the complexity of managing and trading nuclear output".

Neil O'Hara, Trading Director at British Energy said "I am delighted that British Energy has been successful in signing this agreement to provide support and assistance to the NDA to market its output.  This increases the depth and diversity of the portfolio we manage."
