RENEWABLE INVESTMENT $3.7 BLN

RENEWABLE INVESTMENT $3.7 BLN

FTA group of private-equity investors led by New York-based Global Infrastructure Partners and China's sovereign wealth fund will acquire a portfolio of Asian wind and solar energy projects from Singapore-based Equis Pte Ltd for $3.7bn.

"The transaction is the largest renewable energy generation acquisition in history and positions GIP as a dominant renewable energy developer in the key OECD growth markets of Australia and Japan, as well as across India and Southeast Asia," Equis and GIP said in a joint statement.

The investor group will pay $5bn for Equis Energy and assume company debts worth $1.3bn. The group includes CIC Capital, an arm of China sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corp; Public Sector Pension Investment Board, a Canadian pension fund manager; and other GIP partners.

Equis Energy has assets across 180 projects in Australia, Japan, India, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, with total installed capacity of 11,135 megawatts. The deal is subject to regulatory approval in those countries and is expected to close in the first quarter of next year.

CIC Capital is the private equity unit of CIC. CIC Capital's assets grew faster last year than CIC's other foreign-investment units, which mainly invest in publicly-traded securities, according to the group's latest annual report.

STATOIL'S RENEWABLE INVESTMENT

"Brazil is a core area for Statoil where our ambition is to deliver safe and sustainable growth in a significant energy market. Entering into solar in Brazil adds to the positions we have already in the producing Peregrino oil field and in the offshore licenses BM-S-8 and BM-C-33 which include the yet to be developed discoveries Carcará and Pão de Açúcar respectively. We are excited to have entered our first solar project with an experienced partner like Scatec Solar," says Irene Rummelhoff, Executive Vice President of New Energy Solutions in Statoil.

“The point that you can be too early was proved by us,” he says. “We were among the first of the big international oil companies to get into solar and we found out we could not make any money out of it.”

RENEWABLE ENERGY UP

China accounts for the lion’s share of the upsurge. But Middle East and north African countries are scheduled to have installed 14GW in solar plants by the end of 2018 — a seven-fold increase from 2015. Central and South America are also expected to reach 14GW, nearly five times more than in 2015, while India is set to hit 28GW, a jump of nearly six times.

WORLD ENERGY CONSUMPTION UP TO 28%

The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that world energy consumption will grow by 28% between 2015 and 2040. Most of this growth is expected to come from countries that are not in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and especially in countries where demand is driven by strong economic growth, particularly in Asia. Non-OECD Asia (which includes China and India) accounts for more than 60% of the world's total increase in energy consumption from 2015 through 2040.
