00:12to take any immediate action because existing gas and electricity contracts will continue
00:17during the regulatory process. The proposed takeover would create one of Britain's largest
00:23energy suppliers, competing closely with Octopus for market share. Industry analysts say bigger
00:29companies can offer greater stability and investment capacity, although some warn fewer suppliers
00:35could reduce customer choice. Regulators still need to approve the deal, while unions say
00:41workers want reassurance over jobs and conditions.
