EPH takes big step forward in bid to become dominant Slovak electricity player

Czech privately held company Energetický a Průmyslový Holding (EPH) has
become the favourite to become the biggest player in Slovakia’s
electricity market after Italian energy giant ENEL said it had been
selected for exclusive talks over the purchase of its majority stake in
Slovenské Elektrárne. The talks could result within weeks in a deal to
buy up the shares.
