The current government led by Robert Fico is criticizing the stance of the government led by Mikulas Dzurinda which changed its decision on the sale of Slovenske Elektrarne. Initially, the government planned to sell only a 49-percent stake in Slovenske Elektrarne instead of 66 percent.
After cabinet session on Wednesday, Finance Minister Peter Kazimir indicated that the price for strengthening the state’s position in the power utility Slovenske Elektrarne might not be high at all regarding company’s obligations. However, he considers it inevitable to bring the completion of Mochovce NPP under control.
Minister financií Peter Kažimír po stredajšom rokovaní vlády naznačil, že cena za posilnenie pozície štátu v Slovenských elektrárňach by vzhľadom na ich záväzky nemusela byť vôbec vysoká. Za podstatné však považuje dostať pod kontrolu dostavbu Mochoviec.
Prime Minister reiterated that the government would not help Enel to sell its 66-percent stake in the power utility Slovenske Elektaren in any case. According to Robert Fico, Italian investor may expect the state to obstruct this sale until Mochovce NPP is completed.
According to Prime Minister Robert Fico, economy and finance ministers are expected to submit the proposal to the cabinet whether Slovakia will participate in the tender for the purchase of a privatised 66-percent stake in the power utility Slovenske Elektrarne.
The settlement of the additional payment resulting from privatisation is not subject to the current talks, since the state has not yet entered actively the purchase of Slovenske Elektrarne’s shares.
According to the ministry, the state will not agree with the sale of the shares before completing two nuclear blocks in Mochovce. The ministry has again not ruled out that the state will express interest in these shares in some stage of the sale.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico reiterated twice over the past days that the state would be against the sale of the stake in Slovenske Elektrarne unless two nuclear blocks in Mochovce are completed.
Prime Minster Robert Fico informed Italian company Enel that unless the nuclear power plant Mochovce is finished, the state will not agree to the sale of Enel’s majority 66-percent share in Slovenske Elektrarne.
Talianska skupina Enel, ktorá predáva 66-percentný podiel Slovenských elektrární, údajne vyradila z hry o majoritný podiel slovenského dominantného výrobcu elektriny ruské firmy. Chce sa tak vyhnúť tlaku zo strany EÚ.
Český minister priemyslu a obchodu Jan Mládek pre agentúru Bloomberg povedal, že spojenie ČEZ-u a Slovenských elektrární by dávalo veľký zmysel aj z historického hľadiska. Do značnej miery by sa totiž obnovila energetická spoločnosť, ktorá existovala pred rozdelením Československa.
Enel štátu navrhuje, že po dostavaní jadrových blokov v Mochovciach by sa mal vzdať svojho svojho 34-percentného podielu a predať ho novému investorovi, a Slovenské elektrárne by tak mali len jedného pána.
