GasNet Group: Background

GasNet and GasNet Služby are wholly owned by a consortium of investors led by Macquarie Asset Management (MAM), which includes the British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (BCI) and Allianz Capital Partners, representing the Allianz Group’s insurance company.

In 2019, the European Commission approved E.ON’s acquisition of innogy’s distribution and consumer solutions businesses, as well as certain generation assets, during a complex asset swap with RWE AG. Due to competition concerns, innogy Czech Republic was not permitted to be part of this deal. As a result, innogy SE and RWE AG companies signed an agreement under which they sold their stake in innogy Grid Holding, a.s., and thus their Czech gas distribution companies. The shares in innogy Grid Holding were offered to a consortium of investors led by MAM, which decided to exercise its pre-emptive right and increase its stake in the company from 49.96 to 100 percent.

Since October 2019, GasNet has become independent of the innogy Group, and the MAM-led consortium has thus become the sole owner of Czech Grid Holding, parent company of GasNet and GasNet Služby.
