PARIS (Reuters) - French utility Engie (PA:ENGIE) said the sale of its 69 percent stake in Thailand's Glow Energy Pcl (BK:GLOW) would result in net proceeds of 2.6 billion euros (2.28 billion pounds) for Engie.
Engie added that the sale would also result in a 3.3 billion euros reduction in Engie's net debt.
"With the disposal of its interests in Glow, Engie will no longer operate any coal-fired assets in Asia-Pacific, and will reduce its global coal-fired generation installed capacity by 14 percent," Engie added in a statement.
Thai energy giant PTT Pcl (BK:PTT) had earlier said it will buy Glow Energy Pcl, in a deal that could be worth more than $4 billion as it seeks to play a bigger role in supplying power to the country's industrial heartlands.
