    They didn't buy Energia.

    ESB Group bought NIE, formerly owned by Viridian, who also own Energia, AIUI.

    "The purchase also covers associated businesses which provide electrical construction and maintenance services."
    Made me think it took over Energia too

    Interesting reading.

    One question however, which is not mentioned in the article. Did this transaction require government/ministerial approval, as it was capital expenditure and over €1 billion? If so, when was such approval given.

    Hi Max Power1,

    We are a Customer Supply forum and this matter is more of a Corporate Strategy issue, but as with all its significant investments, ESB was granted shareholder approval for the NIE transaction.

    Thanks,
