As reported by “Puls Biznesu”, it is about buying PKP Energetyka from the CVC fund. The transaction is to be completed later this month.
In his speech, Sasin pointed out that PGE had already purchased the combined heat and power plants and heating network a few years ago from the French company EDF. – It was a great action of regaining Polish property and sovereignty. I know that today the president of PGE Wojciech Dąbrowski is thinking about further acquisitions, and in fact he is even finalizing one. I can let you know that this is a very important company, important to ours energy security and in a moment, PGE will regain it for Poland Sasin said.
When he said these words, President Dąbrowski was giving him signals from the audience not to reveal details.
Among foreign investors, heating plants in Poland have, among others, Czech CEZ and Finnish Fortum. Both tried to sell their assets on the Vistula River beforehand, but so far they have not been successful. We asked both companies if they were currently talking about selling with PGE. – The answer is short: no – the services replied
We heard a similar answer from Fortum representatives. The company had already abandoned the sale of its assets in Poland after unsuccessful negotiations. – Fortum closed the strategic review of Polish assets in March this year and we do not have any new information on this matter – we were told by Jacek Ławrecki, Fortum spokesman in Poland.
Our information shows that PGE is not negotiating an acquisition with the German concern E.ONwhich manages the electricity distribution network in Warsaw.
We also turned to PGE. We are waiting for answer.
