French energy major Engie has seen “multiple expressions of interest” since its previous deal was blocked by regulators. 

The company is looking for an interested company to purchase its 69.1% stakes in its subsidiary, Glow Energy, for US$3 billion after Thailand's energy regulator blocked the multi-billion-dollar sale to state-owned PTT Group. The Energy Regulatory Commission has turned down the proposal of PTT to acquire the majority stakes in Glow Energy over worries the deal would create a monopoly within some industrial areas.

Engie is now in talks with interested investors including I Squared Capital.
