Italian group Enel is the only European energy giant to have voiced interest in the privatisation of Electrica’s Banat and Dobrogea branches. Other letters of interest came from Greek state-owned company Public Power Corporation, BKW FMB Energie AG (Switzerland), EVN AG (Austria), the consortium Grivco Energy (Romania) – ABB (Sweden) and the employee associations “Univers” and “Electrica Service.” Italian group Enel has been negotiating with Hidroelectrica since last year, in order to invest some $500m in finalising several Romanian power plants, according to the latest available data.
