A Brazilian water utility owned by the government of Minas Gerais is the subject of a privatization bidding process. A company is evaluating whether to participate alone after its consortium partner withdrew. The utility, Copasa, is currently owned by the state government.
The bidding process aims to transfer ownership to private investors. The company had formed a consortium for the bid but is now reassessing its position following the partner's exit.
The privatization involves a competitive bidding process open to qualified participants. Officials have not announced a timeline for the next steps. The company will decide whether to submit a bid on its own or withdraw from the process entirely. Sources familiar with the matter said the decision is under internal review.
