RWE not interested in Vattenfall's German lignite-powered power plants (translated)
RWE, the listed German energy group, is not planning a bid for Vattenfall’s German lignite-powered power plants, Rheinische Post reported. The German daily cited an RWE spokesperson who said there are no plans to make an offer. The report said Germany-based coal company Mitteldeutsche Braunkohlengesellschaft (Mibrag) is interested. Mibrag is owned by the Czech energy holding EPH.
Another German daily, Tagesspiegel, said the German Minister of Economic and Energy, Sigmar Gabriel, yesterday stated Vattenfall should sell all its German units and not just the lignite businesses in Brandenburg and Saxony.
