Vattenfall wants more control in Enea

Swedish energy group Vattenfall would like to gain more control of Poland's listed utility firm Enea next year, the head of the company told Reuters.

Vattenfall has bought almost 19 percent of Enea in last month's public offering for zł.1.7 billion and CEO Lars Josefsson told Reuters that the company would like to boost its stake. "Our intention is to be a majority stake holder in Enea by the end of 2009," he told Reuters. "Ultimately, we would be keen to control 100 percent. … But it also depends on when would Poland's treasury like to sell more."

Poland still holds 76.5 percent of Enea with plans to further sell its stake in 2009.
