Eni (BIT: ENI) agreed to sell about 9% of its Plenitude renewables unit to Energy Infrastructure Partners AG for €700 million ($766 million) via a capital increase to be completed in early 2024.
Harbour Energy and Eni are set to invest more than £8 billion in the UK over the next four years, as the sector continues to bat away calls for a windfall tax on energy profits.
Eni has picked six more banks to work on the initial public offering (IPO) of its retail and renewables unit Plenitude, which could be valued at about 10 billion euros ($11.3 billion), according to people familiar with the matter.
