Oil major Eni pulls out of race for RTR solar assets in Italy

MILAN, July 10 (Reuters) - Italian oil major Eni (Euronext: ENI.NX - news) has pulled out of a race to buy Terra Firma's solar power assets in Italy, a company spokesman told Reuters on Tuesday.

The British private equity firm is looking to sell its Rete Rinnovabile, known as RTR, solar portfolio in Italy in a deal that is expected to fetch more than 1 billion euros ($1.17 billion).

"We have decided not to pursue this option," a spokesman told Reuters in an emailed statement.

Eni (LSE: 0N9S.L - news) was working on a joint bid with Qatar Petroleum for 130 plants for a total of 330 MW of solar energy put up for sale by Terra Firma.
