Abu Dhabi utility Taqa to weigh sale of oil and gas assets

Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. is considering options for its oil and gas assets, including a potential sale, as the state-owned utility focuses more on power generation, people familiar with the matter said.

The company, also known as Taqa, is speaking with potential advisers as it reviews a business that spans countries including the UK and Canada, the people said, asking not to be identified as the matter is private. Taqa's oil and gas portfolio could be worth substantially less than the billions of dollars it spent to build it, the people said.
