UK: International Power is expected to warn bankers that it might walk away from its loss-making US power stations if it cannot renegotiate 900 m dollars (pound 498 m) of non-recourse debt, reported the FT on January 7. The group - which has had three chief executives in less than 18 months - has been hit by big falls in wholesale electricity prices in Texas, where it has two-thirds of its US power station capacity. It has already contacted representatives of about 18 banks - including Citigroup, ABN Amro, Societe Generale, Deutsche Bank and ING - about a possible refinancing of its non-recourse US borrowings. Detailed negotiations are expected to begin shortly.
