A2A SpA (A2A.MI) Tuesday approved the resumption of talks with French energy company Electricite de France SA (EDF.FR) over control of Edison SpA (EDN.MI), said a top official of the Italian municipal utility.

A2A's management board decided unanimously to officially approve resuming talks with EdF about Edison "based on the agreement reached in March," said Giuliano Zuccoli, chairman of the board, after a meeting in Milan.

In March, A2A and EdF preliminarily agreed to split the assets of power generator Edipower SpA, which is controlled by Edison, with the Italians receiving hydroelectric plants in exchange for letting the French run Edison.

Currently A2A and EdF jointly run Edison, Italy's second-largest power and natural gas company.
