EDF and RWE fight for control of Energetyka Poznanska

Energetyka Poznanska, (which soon will become part of Enea) and Dalkia Termika, a company controlled by Electricite de France (EDF), have entered into talks concerning co-operation. In order for the talks to come to fruition the French company must first win the tender to purchase an 85% stake in Zespol Elektrocieplowni Poznanskich (ZEP), in which they have to fight off a competing offer from German Stadtwerke Leipzig, controlled by RWE. "We are interested in a minority stake in ZEP, such as 25% plus one share," said Jerzy Gruszka, the president of Enea. The Treasury has asked investors to submit their revised offers by December 20 and expects to receive around zl. 400 million for the 85% stake. (Puls Biznesu, p. 5) K.Z.
