Vattenfall May Begin to Sell Gas to German Households

Vattenfall AB, the Nordic region’s biggest utility, may start selling natural gas directly to German households and businesses for the first time, after returning to the European wholesale market following a three-year absence.

“We’re looking into the market to see what opportunities there are,” Steffen Herrmann, a spokesman for Vattenfall Europe AG, the German arm of the utility, said in a Jan. 22 interview. He declined to give more details.
