据知情人士透露,葡萄牙石油公司Galp Energia SGPS SA正在探讨如何将其可再生能源业务变现。这些知情人士要求匿名,因为相关信息尚未公开。目前正在考虑的方案包括仅出售部分资产,或者向投资者出让部分股权。这些资产的总发电能力达2.7吉瓦。
By Thomas Gualtieri and Andrés González Portuguese oil company Galp Energia SGPS SA is exploring options to monetize its renewable energy operations, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Among the alternatives under considerations is divesting only part of the assets or selling a stake to an investor, said the people, asking not to be identified as the information isn’t public. The assets have a total 2.7 gigawatts of power generation capacity. The move comes as the Lisbon-based company is working with Mubadala Investment Co.-backed Spanish fuel maker Moeve SA on a combination of their refinery and gas station businesses.
此次举措正值这家总部位于里斯本的企业与由穆巴达拉投资公司支持的西班牙燃料生产商Moeve SA合作整合双方的炼油厂及加油站业务之际。近几个月来,其他欧洲石油企业也纷纷调整自身的可再生能源业务布局:Galp的国内竞争对手EDP Renewables将其在美国的可再生能源资产组合中80%的权益出售给了Ares Infrastructure Equity;法国石油巨头道达尔能源则将旗下同类资产组合中50%的权益转让给了KKR & Co。
Other European peers have also restructured their renewable portfolios in recent months. Galp’s domestic rival EDP Renewables sold an 80% stake in a US renewables portfolio to Ares Infrastructure Equity, while French oil giant TotalEnergies SE sold a 50% stake in a portfolio to KKR & Co.
针对相关传闻,Galp的发言人在接受彭博社采访时拒绝置评。近期,这家葡萄牙企业还以3.2亿欧元(约合3.6亿美元)的价格收购了西班牙的17座陆上风电场,进一步扩大了自身在清洁能源领域的布局。此次收购使得风电资产在Galp所有能源资产中的占比提升至约30%,预计也将推动该公司本年度可再生能源业务的息税折旧摊销前利润达到1.1亿欧元。
A spokesperson for Galp declined to comment when contacted by Bloomberg. The Portuguese company has recently expanded its clean-energy footprint with the acquisition of 17 onshore wind farms in Spain, in a transaction valued at €320 million ($360 million). The deal increased the share of wind power to about 30% of the total held by Galp, and was forecast to lift this year’s pro forma renewables earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization to €110 million.
