Swedish energy giant Vattenfall announced that it was now accepting bids for its German brown coal business, inviting potential buyers to "state their interest."
The move is part of the state-owned firm''s wider effort to cut ties with fossile fuels, and comes about a year after Sweden''s Social Democratic Party teamed up with the Green Party to form a minority government. The center-left coalition has made a pivot to cleaner energies, such as wind power, one of its key policy goals.
Vattenfall said it was putting five coal mines and three coal-fired power plants up for sale, located in the eastern states of Brandenburg and Saxony.
In addition to its German lignite divisions, which currently employ some 8,000 workers, the company was also advertising ten hydro plants, all in close proximity to the coal stations. These, the firm stressed in a press release, "will not be sold separately."
