BERLIN (Reuters) -The German government is considering acquiring a 25.1% minority stake in TenneT Germany, an economy ministry spokesperson said on Wednesday.
“We see an opportunity to acquire a strategic minority stake in Germany’s largest TSO (transmission system operator), as we did with 50Hertz and TransnetBW, thereby making a fundamental contribution to needs-based grid expansion and a stable financing structure for TenneT Deutschland,” said the spokesperson in an emailed statement.
