E.ON SE (DB:EOAN) and Haci Omer Sabanci Holding AS (IBSE:SAHOL) are in talks with Chinese investors to potentially sell a stake in Enerjisa Enerji A.S. or in one of its units, said two people with knowledge of the matter. The companies intend to sell a minority stake to one or more Chinese investors and each party may eventually own as much as a third of the company, the people said. “Enerjisa is continuously optimizing its financial and operational performance and its strategic positioning in the market,” Sabanci Holding said in response to questions.

Christian Drepper, a spokesman for E.ON declined to comment.
