French state-controlled utility Electricite de France (EDF.FR) Thursday said it will continue to work on completing its acquisition of Constellation Energy Group Inc.'s (CEG) nuclear assets, despite the state of Maryland's decision to review the deal.

"Although we disagree with the commission's decision, we will continue to work towards completing this transaction so that these benefits can be achieved," a spokeswoman for the company told Dow Jones Newswires.
