The Government of Luxembourg owned one-third of the company, which made it the largest single shareholder,[1] followed by the 30.4% stake held by Luxempart-Energie,[4] with smaller stakes held by SNCI (12%) and Electrabel (8%).[1] Shares of the company were listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, of which it was one of the ten (and one of the seven Luxembourg-based) members of the main index, the LuxX Index

As a result of the European Union policy of liberalization of the energy market, Enovos Gruppe [5] acquired Cegedel SA along with Soteg SA, the gas distributor, in 2009, and created a Luxembourg subsidiary, Creos Luxembourg to distribute both gas and electricity.[6]
