FRANKFURT (Reuters) – German utility EnBW said on Wednesday core profit could increase by up to 8% this year, boosted by its energy grids that benefited from a rise in investments.
The company also said it remained in talks with its top shareholders – the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg and local municipalities – about a capital increase of around 3 billion euros ($3.2 billion) to fund further growth.
