CEZ mulls acquisition of Energa stake

CEZ, the largest Czech power utility, would like to buy a majority stake in Polish peer Energa, the company’s CEO Daniel Beneš told Czech daily Hospodářské noviny. However, the companies have not held any talks yet, CEZ press officer Ladislav Kříž told Bloomberg in response to a query. “We mentioned Energa as an example of what we might be interested in, to show that there is more in the region than just Slovenske Elektrarne,” Kříž said. CEZ had earlier said that it was interested in buying a stake in Slovak power group  Slovenske Elektrarne now held by Italy’s Enel.
