Shell said on June 6 that it had decided to exit its home retail energy businesses in Britain, Germany and the Netherlands due to their poor returns.
Shell launched a strategic review of its European retail businesses in January, shortly after Chief Executive Officer Wael Sawan took office.
"That review has now concluded and as a consequence, we intend to exit those businesses. A sales process is already underway, with the intent to reach an agreement with a potential buyer in the coming months," Shell said in a statement.
