据路透社11月25日阿姆斯特丹报道,荷兰能源公司Eneco周一表示,由日本三菱引领的集团将以41亿欧元(45.2亿美元)收购Eneco,击败壳牌和私人股本公司KKR。

Eneco是一家由44个荷兰自治市拥有、重点关注可再生能源的公司。该公司表示,三菱允许Eneco继续其战略并保留其企业形象的计划,对促成本次收购产生了积极的影响。

这笔交易得到Eneco董事会和代表股东的委员会的支持,但仍需得到这家荷兰公司市政投资者明年初的批准。

Eneco表示,三菱集团“为股东和包括员工在内的Eneco所有其他利益相关者提供了最佳报价”。

三菱的胜利对壳牌来说是一个打击,壳牌公司希望在2030年成为一家重要的发电企业。新能源总监Maarten Wetselaar在回应壳牌的声明时表示,壳牌将“继续在能源转型中寻找机会”。

石油和天然气巨头壳牌表示,计划从2021年起,平均每年在能源转型投资上支出20-30亿美元。壳牌在此次竞购中与荷兰养老基金管理公司PGGM联手。

同样在竞购中落败的私人股本公司KKR与荷兰合作银行(Rabobank)结盟。

Eneco首席财务官Guido Dubbeld在接受记者采访时表示,三菱财团计划在未来三年内向Eneco在荷兰、德国和比利时的业务投资10亿欧元。

他表示,投资将“主要在荷兰进行,主要在风能方面,而在太阳能方面的投资会少一些”。

该交易将使三菱获得Eneco 80%的股份,其合作伙伴株式会社中部(Chubu)将获得20%的股份。

三菱首席执行官Takehiko Kakiuchi在声明中称," Eneco完全符合我们当前的能源活动,为我们在欧洲市场进一步发展提供了平台。"

三菱已拥有荷兰海上风力发电400兆瓦,并将把这些业务与Eneco合并。

今年9月,Eneco公布2019年上半年息税折旧及摊销前利润(EBITDA)为2.72亿欧元(3.03亿美元),高于去年同期的2.3亿欧元。

Japan's Mitsubishi beats Shell to buy Dutch power firm Eneco

A group led by Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp (8058.T) will buy Eneco in a deal valuing the Dutch energy firm at 4.1 billion euros ($4.52 billion), Eneco said on Monday, beating off rival bids from Shell (RDSa.L) and private equity firm KKR (KKR.N).

Eneco, a company owned by 44 Dutch municipalities and with a strong focus on renewable energy, said it had been swayed by Mitsubishi’s plans to allow the company to continue its strategy and retain its corporate identity.

The deal, backed by Eneco’s boards and a committee representing shareholders, must still be approved early next year by the Dutch company’s municipal investors.

Eneco said Mitsubishi’s group had “made the best offer for shareholders and all other stakeholders of Eneco, including employees.”

Mitsubishi’s win is a blow for Shell, which wants to become a major power generator by 2030. New Energies Director Maarten Wetselaar said in response to the announcement that Shell would “continue to look for opportunities in the energy transition.”

Oil and gas major Shell, which said it planned to spend an average of $2 billion to $3 billion dollars a year on energy transition investments from 2021 onwards, had teamed up with Dutch pension fund manager PGGM in its bid to buy Eneco.

Private equity firm KKR, which was also beaten in the bidding, had lined up with Dutch lender Rabobank.

Mitsubishi’s consortium planned to invest 1 billion euros in Eneco’s operations in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium in the next three years, Eneco Chief Financial Officer Guido Dubbeld told in a call with journalists.

He said the investment would be made “mostly in the Netherlands, mostly in wind, somewhat less in solar.”

The deal will give Mitsubishi 80% of Eneco and its partner Chubu (9502.T) a 20% stake.

“Eneco fits perfectly with our current energy activities and offers us a platform from which to grow further in the European market,” Mitsubishi Chief Executive Takehiko Kakiuchi said in a statement.

Mitsubishi already owned 400 megawatts (MW) of Dutch offshore wind power and would combine those operations with Eneco, the Dutch company said.

In September, Eneco reported first half earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of 272 million euros ($303 million) for the first half of 2019, up from 230 million euros a year earlier.
