Essent
Essent (including its predecessors) has over 90 years of experience with generating, trading, transmitting and supplying electricity.In 2007, Essent divested its cable division Kabelcom to the investment companies Cinven and Warburg Pincus.In January 2009, German energy major, RWE AG, announced its intention to buy out all outstanding and issued shares of Essent.The deal, valued to be around 9.3 billion euros, would make Essent an operating company of RWE in the Netherlands and Belgium.Since the split of RWE and Innogy as of 1 April 2016, the power generation business was transferred to RWE Generation NL B.V., while Essent as retail and renewable energy company remained in the Innogy group.
