In a move reflecting European utilities' focus on core operations, EDF has signed an agreement to sell EDF Power Solutions in the US and Canada to private equity firm KKR. According to Reuters, the deal covers power generation assets and service solutions in North America, though financial terms were not disclosed. The sale is part of EDF's strategy to strengthen its balance sheet and concentrate on its European markets.
