National Grid is Britain’s biggest utility. It is also the best-performing — over the past six months at least.

It's hardly boom time, but there have been tentative signs of activity in the capital markets, helped by the recovery in equity prices over the past few months. It's deal activity that generates the real fees and if M&A, flotations and the like show a sustained revival it would be a shot in the arm for the stock.

Yesterday National Grid said it would consider bidding for EDF's UK transmission assets as it expands its distribution business, although Steve Holliday, its chief executive, is unlikely to overpay. When some German transmission assets were put on the market last year the group did not even submit a bid because it regarded them as too expensive. However, the EDF assets would be a good fit for the group...
