Enron bankruptcy

According to the final restructuring plan submitted to bankruptcy court, Enron Corporation will be dissolved at the conclusion of the restructuring process, allowing Prisma Energy International to emerge as an independent company. Enron's creditors, who lost about $63 billion due to its massive bankruptcy, were expected to receive between 17 and 22 cents on the dollar in cash and in Prisma stock due to its parent company Enron's dissolution. Prisma Energy has three business segments: natural gas, power distribution, and power generation on four continents. The natural gas units process and supply liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and South Korea. The power distribution business consists of Elektro Eletricidade, a Brazil-based company with 1.8 million customers. Prisma Energy's power generation units manage power plants in Europe and South America. As of 2006, Enron's bankruptcy case is still on going, and Prisma remains an Enron subsidiary.
