Goldman Sachs Acquires European Trading Books
LCG, Mar. 7, 2003--The presence of U.S. energy companies in European energy trading has receded further with the announcement by investment bank Goldman Sachs Group Inc. that it has bought trading books from Dynegy Inc. and El Paso Corp.The two energy companies were seen by analysts as being too highly leveraged to continue trading. Goldman Sachs had earlier been in a partnership with the trading operations of Constellation Energy Group, which owns power plants.

Although representatives of the bank did not disclose how much was paid for the two trading books, El Paso said last month that its gas portfolio in Europe had been purchased for $80 million by an unnamed buyer.
