Dans la même veine, la compagnie des eaux de Londres est éligible au tableau d'honneur:
- Shareholders had promised 500 mln stg by March 31
- Thames says regulatory plan 'uninvestible'
- Company says business as usual
- CEO says premature to talk of collapse
LONDON, March 28 (Reuters) - Thames Water, Britain's biggest water utility, said on Thursday its shareholders had refused to pay 500 million pounds ($631 million) promised to stabilise its finances, heightening concerns over its survival.
The company, which supplies a quarter of Britain's population in London and its surroundings, said it had until late next year to secure more funding or risk nationalisation.
But a standoff between the company, its shareholders and the regulator over whether it can hike bills to fund investment in its crumbling network of pipes has left it in financial limbo.
