Energa eyes EDF's assets in Poland

Polish state-run utility Energa will consider bidding for heating plants owned by French power firm EDF if they become available, wnp.pl web portal reported. Earlier this year, the media informed that EDF had launched a sale of its Polish coal-fired heating and power plants worth up to PLN 2 billion. Czech CEZ said a while after that it was interested in some of them, especially in the Rybnik-based facility, unlike Energa, according to its CEO, Roman Piońkowski. "The Rybnik power plant is less interesting to us, since this is an asset similar to our power plant in Ostroleka," Pionkowski said. EDF's five heating plants have a 15 percent share of the Polish heating market.
