Japan to ask TCI not to boost J-Power stake -source

TOKYO, April 16 (Reuters) - The Japanese government will ask British activist fund TCI not to raise its stake in J-Power, a Japanese electricity wholesaler, a government source said.

A panel set up by Japan's finance ministry said on Tuesday that raising TCI's stake in Electric Power Development (9513.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) (J-Power) could "disturb the public interest." (Reporting by Reiji Murai; Writing by Junko Fujita)
