中国石化新闻网讯 石油巨头荷兰皇家壳牌的子公司壳牌能源澳大利亚公司周四表示，将以6.17亿澳元(约合4.172亿美元)的价格收购澳大利亚电力零售商ERM的全部股票，此价格为减去股息调整后的价格。 此举突显出全球油气公司对电力和替代能源市场的投资日益增长，这符合它们从石油业务向多元化发展的长期战略。壳牌此前曾表示，计划在未来10年成为全球最大的电力公司。 壳牌在一份声明中称，ERM是澳洲负荷量第二大的能源零售商，并在昆士兰州Oakey和西澳洲Neerabup这两家燃气发电厂发电。“燃气发电将在澳大利亚向可再生能源的转型中发挥重要作用，”报告补充道。 壳牌是澳大利亚重要的天然气生产商，最近启动了其Prelude FLNG海上工厂，该工厂是全球最受期望的液化天然气出口项目之一，也是最大的浮动容器。 对燃气发电的投资为这家能源公司的天然气生产提供了一个下游出口。 尤诺维奇表示，ERM将成为公司核心电力和能源解决方案的平台，此次收购对壳牌在澳大利亚不断增长的综合电力业务至关重要。 壳牌表示:“此次收购已获得外国投资审查委员会和澳大利亚竞争与消费者委员会的批准，壳牌的报价还需得到法庭批准以及ERM股东的批准。” 该公司预计在2019年底前完成收购。 壳牌表示，澳大利亚是其可再生能源等“新兴能源”投资的核心市场之一。其他市场包括欧洲西北部和美国。 沈韩晔 摘译自 普氏能源资讯 原文如下： Shell offers to buy Australian power retailer ERM for $417.2 mil Shell Energy Australia, a subsidiary of oil major Royal Dutch Shell, Thursday said it made an offer to purchase all the shares of Australian electricity retailer ERM Power for A$617 million ($417.2 million), minus dividend adjustments. The move underscores growing investments by global oil and gas companies into power and alternative energy markets in line with long-term strategy to diversify from the oil business. Shell previously said it plans to become the world's largest electricity company by the next decade. ERM is the second-largest energy retailer by load in Australia, and also produces electricity at two gas-fired power plants in Oakey, Queensland, and Neerabup, Western Australia, Shell said in a statement. "Gas-fired generation will play an important role in Australia's transition to renewables," it added. Shell is a key natural gas producer in Australia, and it recently started up its Prelude FLNG offshore plant that was one of the world's most anticipated LNG exporting projects and the largest floating vessel. Investments in gas-fired electricity give the energy company a downstream outlet for its gas production. Yujnovich said ERM will become the company's core power and energy solutions platform and its acquisition was key to growing Shell's integrated power business in Australia. "The acquisition has received Foreign Investment Review Board and Australian Competition and Consumer Commission approvals and Shell's offer is subject to court approval as well as ERM shareholder approval," Shell said. It expects to complete the acquisition before the end of 2019. Shell said Australia is one of the core identified markets for its "Emerging Power" investments like renewables. The other markets are Northwest Europe and the US |
