Eni SpA (E - Free Report) , an integrated energy company, stepped up discussions with a number of investors regarding the prospective sale of a minority stake in the Plenitude renewables and retail business, per media reports.
Per a Reuters report, Swiss asset manager Energy Infrastructure Partners is one of the many investors that is currently in talks with Eni over the potential purchase. Although Eni postponed Plenitude's IPO last year owing to unfavorable market conditions, it still intends to list the company.
