TAURON Polska Energia S.A. (WSE:TPE) has started talks with the Orlen S.A. (WSE:PKN) (ORLEN Group) regarding the sale of shares in the combined heat and power plant in Stalowa Wola, and as part of the settlement, Tauron may acquire PGNiG TERMIKA Energetyka Przemyslowa S.A., a unit of Polish Oil and Gas Company (PGNiG), which in turn is a unit of the ORLEN Group. Commenting on the deal, Tauron Group's CEO Pawel Szczeszek notes that it is obvious that the group would be interested in Termika given Tauron's commitment to strengthen and develop its district heating segment in Slaskie Province.
