Dalkia Poiska Acquires Stake in Warsaw System

摘要

The European Commission has given the green light for the purchase by Dalkia Poiska, a subsidiary of Dalkia International and Industry Funds Management, of an 85 percent stake in SPEC SA (Stoeczne Przedsibiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej), which manages the city district heating network in Warsaw, Poland. The deal will strengthen Dalkia's strategic position in Central Europe and confirm its standing as Poland's number one heating market operator. Warsaw's heating network is the largest in the European Union, covering more than 1,700 km (1,056 miles), and the third-largest in the world after the networks in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The Warsaw system supplies 80 percent of the city's buildings, primarily apartment houses. Dalkia has been doing business in Poland for more than 14 years, managing the production and local distribution of energy in almost 40 cities.
