Energia eolica, ok Antitrust Ue a creazione joint venture belga (ENG)

Bruxelles – The European Commission has approved under the Eu Merger Regulation the creation of a joint venture between Eneco Wind Belgium NV and Elnu BV, a subsidiary of Elicio NV, all of Belgium. Norther NV, the joint venture, will own, operate and maintain an offshore wind farm located in the Belgian North Sea. Eneco and Elicio are both active in the production of electricity from wind energy in Belgium. The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would raise no competition concerns given the companies’ very limited market shares in the generation and wholesale supply of electricity in Belgium. The operation was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.
