August Debouzy advised GazelEnergie, an energy supplier owned by the EPH Group of Daniel Křetínský, in connection with exclusive discussions with ilek, a supplier of green electricity and biogas, regarding its proposed acquisition.
GazelEnergie is a French energy producer and supplier and a subsidiary of EPH, the seventh-largest energy group in Europe, which has been active in France since 1995. GazelEnergie is engaged in the energy transition of its legacy generation assets and is developing renewable energy projects, including renewable electricity, heat, hydrogen, and flexibility solutions. The company operates an installed capacity of 900 MW.
This strategic transaction is intended to accelerate the rollout of a green electricity and gas supply offering based on locally sourced renewable production, at competitive prices for both households and businesses in France. Through this contemplated acquisition, GazelEnergie aims to strengthen its position as an integrated energy transition player, covering the entire value chain from production to end consumers.
The information and consultation procedures with the relevant employee representative bodies (Comités sociaux et économiques, CSE) have been initiated. Completion of the transaction remains subject to the outcome of these procedures, as well as to the receipt of the required regulatory approvals.
