Follow on Google News | CIG: Italy’s Enel SpA prepares to merge Spanish renewable assets into its Green Power unit.In an effort to beef up its renewable energy division ahead of a stake sale later this year Enel considers merging most of its Spanish renewable assets.
By: CIG LLC "The idea is to set up a joint venture that is majority owned by Enel and into which Endesa would place its renewable assets in Spain, while Enel would place its Eufer assets," CIG believes a source with knowledge of the matter said."EGP would eventually take ownership of the Enel share in the joint venture, which could be around 60%.” The renewable energy assets in Spain are divided between 2.7GW of generation capacity held through Endesa, and a 50% stake in its 1.2 GW Eufer joint venture with Gas Natural, according to the firms involved websites. CIG believes that Gas Natural is reviewing a proposal by Enel, considered Europe’s most highly indebted utility, to break up Eufer and split its assets. The plan to save on operating costs by grouping all of Enel’s Spanish renewables assets and incorporating them into Enel Green Power seems a savvy decision ahead of the partial listing of the unit planned for later in 2010, CIG believes analysts agreed. # # # CIG is an exclusive, members only, offshore, private equity, investment firm that provides consulting services to like minded members of the private equity and alternative investment community.
