Nov 9 (Reuters) - The board of Britain's National Grid PLC
NG.L is weighing up options for its four gas distribution
networks across the country, which may attract 10 billion pounds
($15.06 billion), the Sunday Times reported, citing people
familiar with the matter.
Talks are at an early stage, and the board may choose to
reject an outright sale and opt for piecemeal deals or selling a
stake, the Sunday Times said.
Sale of the grid's gas distribution networks may attract
interest from Canadian pension funds and Asian sovereign wealth
funds, as well as dedicated infrastructure firms, the paper
said.
National Grid could not be reached immediately for a comment
outside regular UK business hours.
