Slovak economy minister P. Rusko informed yesterday there are ten potential bidders for Slovenske elektrarne, the dominant Slovak power producer. Besides CEZ, it is speculated that these include RAO UES, AES, Enel E.ON, RWE, International Power, Verbund, Electrabel. The potential bidders should indicate what assets they are interested in by December 5. Recall that with the exception of CEZ and possibly RAO UES, the other bidders are not expected to be interested in the nuclear assets of SE, which could put them at a disadvantage.
