BUDAPEST--The Hungarian arm of German utility giant E.ON SE (EONGY) said Friday it will end its natural gas supply operations for Hungarian households.

The company said it has requested that the Hungarian energy authority withdraw its license to supply natural gas to households.

The move doesn't affect E.ON's operations as a supplier of electricity in Hungary and its natural gas supply to businesses, it added.

The decision is part of the firm's decision last year to revamp its strategic portfolio to focus on sustainable operations and value-added services, it said.
