KIEV, March 21 – The retaining of blocking stakes (25% plus one share) during the privatization of electricity generating companies would narrow a circle of potential investors in Dniproenergo and Zakhidenergo to only one candidate – DTEK, the largest private vertically integrated energy holding, which would have a chance to expand its portfolio to a controlling stake.

This is according to analysts from investment companies who have given their opinions to Interfax-Ukraine.

Analysts Interfax-Ukraine that if the state decides to retain blocking stakes in Centrenergo and Donbasenergo during their privatization, this would not considerably influence the interest of investors.
