    MILAN, Feb 9 (Reuters) - A2A  A2.MI  would like to acquire a
majority stake in renewable energy firm Alerion Clean Power
 ARN.MI , but is not interested in a minority holding, the chief
executive of Italy's biggest regional utility said on Wednesday.
    "We are looking at all the dossiers. We are interested in
the opportunities that are out there," A2A CEO Renato Mazzoncini
told journalists on the sidelines of an event in Milan, adding
the wind assets of renewable energy company PLT Energia
 PLTEN.MI  were among its targets. 
    In a statement later on Wednesday, the company said it was
only interested in investing in majority stakes that would allow
a consolidation of its core profit.
    "There is no dossier open on renewable portfolios and
specifically on Alerion," it added.
    Alerion shares closed up 8% after Mazzoncini's earlier
comments, outperforming a 2.7% rise in Milan's All-Share index
