FRANKFURT, Aug 13 (Reuters) - E.ON EONGn.DE, Europe's largest operator of energy grids, on Wednesday called on Germany's energy regulator to raise future returns on grid investments, warning Europe's top economy risked falling behind in its efforts to build out power infrastructure.

The group also posted first-half adjusted core profit of 5.5 billion euros ($6.43 billion), an increase of 13% year-on-year, and kept its outlook for 2025, still expecting adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of 9.6 billion to 9.8 billion euros.
