| © ICIS HEREN - Romania lists grid operator Transelectrica |
| 2012-03-14 |
| The Romanian government began its initial public offering of 15% of transmission system operator (TSO) Transelectrica on Wednesday (14th March). Just under 11m shares have been offered, which could raise between New Lei 163m (€37m) and New Lei 211m (€48m), based on the price range for each share set between New Lei 14.90 - 19.20. The shares would be offered on the Bucharest stock exchange in two tranches, with 90% aimed at large investors buying more than 500,000 and the remainder at small investors. Romania has come under pressure to liberalise its energy markets, after plans to restructure state-owned generation collapsed in October (see EDEM 10 October 2011). The Romanian energy ministry has already announced plans to list smaller distribution firms (see EDEM 1 February 2012). The offering lasts until 27 March.
