European energy companies have shown strong interest in participating in the equity capital of Independent Power Transmission Operator (IPTO or ADMIE), Environment and Energy Minister Panos Skourletis said on Thursday.
Speaking to reporters, on the sidelines of an Hellenic Petroleum general shareholders' meeting, Skourletis said it was highly unlikely not to implement a solution for ADMIE agreed with the country's creditors. The Greek minister also said he expected a successful completion of an agreement to sell 66 pct of DESFA (Hellenic Gas Transmission System Operator) to Socar and stressed that strategic investments in energy operators were significant not only financially but also geopolitically.
Skourletis reiterated that the government did not intend to make any further privatizations in the energy sector.
