Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.11202 – FORTUM MARKETS / TELGE ENERGI)
Candidate case for simplified procedure

1.   
On 6 July 2023, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:






—


Fortum Markets AB (‘Fortum Markets,’ Sweden),










—


Telge Energi AB (‘Telge Energi,’ Sweden).




Fortum will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of Telge Energi.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:






—


Fortum Markets is part of the Finland-based energy group Fortum, solely controlled by the Finnish state, that is active in power generation, in the retail sale of energy to consumers and enterprises, and in the circular solutions business,










—


Telge Energi is a part of the Swedish Telge group currently owned by Södertälje municipality, and is active in the retail sale of electricity generated from renewable sources to small industrial and commercial customers and households.






3.   
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.
Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.
