The Polish Competition Authority (UOKiK) issued Decision No DKK-195/2026 on September 3, 2026, approving the merger between Veolia Energia Polska S.A. and Kyotherm Group SAS. This decision follows an antitrust investigation initiated at the request of the two companies.

The merger involves the establishment of a joint venture, as outlined in the application submitted by the parties. The authority determined that the merger would not negatively impact competition in the market.

Notably, the decision did not require any remedies or conditions, as it fully aligned with the requests of the merging parties. The authority opted not to provide a detailed justification for the decision, citing that it did not resolve any disputes between the parties and was not issued in response to an appeal.

Parties involved in this merger include Veolia Energia Polska S.A., based in Warsaw, and Kyotherm Group SAS, located in Paris, France. The decision allows these companies to proceed with their plans to collaborate in the energy sector.
