RWE, Germany's biggest electricity producer, is considering options for its minority stake in Amprion, one of Germany's four high-voltage power transmission networks, the company said on Tuesday, potentially paving the way for a sale. "In view of the high capital requirements for grid expansion, we are currently examining various options and financing possibilities in relation to our Amprion investment," a spokesperson for RWE said in emailed comments. Handelsblatt earlier reported, citing sources familiar with the matter, that RWE was considering selling its 25.1% stake in Amprion and that a sales process could possibly start this year.
