State makes second attempt to sell Rybnik power station

The State Treasury is expected to announce a decision today on the company to be given exclusive four-week negotiating rights for the purchase of a 35% stake in state power plant Rybnik. Unofficially, the treasury has already made its choice: the consortium of Germany's EnBW and French EdF. Other bidders for the power plant include Belgium's Tractebel and the American-Japanese consortium of NRG and Marubeni, which initially won exclusive rights to negotiate the stake in Rybnik, but after talks over the deal stalled, the treasury decided to give other competitors a second chance.
