Swedish and French energy concerns eye ZEC Łódź

None of the sides have yet managed to come to an agreement concerning the sale price, and it seems rather unlikely that Vattenfall will comply with all State Treasury expectations. The Treasury has still not granted the Swedish investor exclusive negotiation rights for the priv atization of the plant, altogether its only potential competitor, French Dalkia, is busy attempting to purchase the ZEC Poznań heating and power plant group. Although an initial privatization deal has already been signed, the French investor cannot come to an agreement with the trade unions. Today is the deadline for the ballot in which ZEC Poznań employees are to state whether they are ready to go on a strike. Trade unions will want to speak with representatives of the State Treasury.
