ESSEN, Germany (Reuters) - E.ON (>> E.ON SE) expects the sale of uranium enrichment company Urenco to take place next year rather than in 2015, Chief Financial Officer Klaus Schaefer told analysts during a conference call.
E.ON and peer RWE (>> RWE AG) jointly hold one third of Urenco's shares, with the Dutch and British governments each owning a third, too.
Schaefer also said there had been "some political progress" on the sales process, without being more specific.
