Alpiq owns a 10% interest in Romande Energie Holding SA, Morges. Its representation on the company's Board of Directors since 2008 has increased the Group's influence over operating and financial policy decisions. Due to this change in circumstances, the investment was reclassified from "financial investments" to "investments in associates" in 2008.
