Sale of heat and power plants to start this week
The Treasury Ministry confirmed that it will start talks this week with the consortium of ZEC Wybrzeże-Dalkia Termika on the joint sale of 45% of two local combined heat and power plants in the central city of Toruń. The consortium was the only bidder in the tender that closed at the end of August.
The sale of the two plants, EC Toruń (ECT) and Energotor, would be the last privatization in the power sector this year.
The treasury said it had not managed to bring the towns local power plant Przedsiębiorstwa Energetyki Cieplnej (PEC) into the deal, as it had previously stated. Toruńs local council, which owns PEC, said it wanted the plant to be sold to another investor. A local consortium, Toruńskie Konsorcjum Energetyczne, including ECT and Finlands Fortum, have made offers for the plant.
