Synopsis

Enel (BIT: ENEL), an Italy-based electricity and natural gas generation and distribution company, is watchful for acquisition opportunities of power distribution assets in Brazil, as published by Valor Econômico on 14 September 2015, citing its President, Francesco Starace.

The company also has a vigilant eye on divestment program, launched a few months ago by Petrobras (BVMF: ptr3, PETR4, PBRA; BMAD: XPBR, XPBRA; NYSE: PBR, PBRA), and particularly on assets to be sold by Eletrobras in Northeast and North Brazil and in Goiás.

According to the news, the company's goal is to grow with smaller units, with power generation from renewable sources, rather than large infrastructure projects such as hydroelectric plants that take approximately eight to ten years to be ready.

According to Francesco Starace, "We think this type of investment may be better adapted for countries than for companies. Today it is very difficult to convince people to accept a large dam. And it's very hard to carry it out it the estimated time and cost. And throughout all this time, everything changes and technology changes even faster".

A empresa italiana Enel (BIt:ENEL), que se dedica à produção e distribuição de energia elétrica e gás natural, está atenta a oportunidades de aquisições de ativos de distribuição de energia no Brasil, segundo publicou o Valor Econômico em 14 de setembro de 2015, citando ao Presidente da empresa, Francesco Starace.

A empresa está também atenta ao programa de desinvestimentos lançado há poucos meses pela Petrobras (BVMF: PTR3, PETR4, PBRA; BMAD: XPBR, XPBRA; NYSE: PBR, PBRA), e em especial, pelos ativos a serem vendidos pela Eletrobras nas regiões Nordeste e Norte e em Goiás.

De acordo com a notícia, a meta da empresa é crescer com unidades menores, com geração de energia por meio de fontes renováveis e não com grandes projetos estruturantes como os hidrelétricas que demoram entre oito e dez anos para ficarem prontas.

Segundo o Executivo, "Achamos que esse tipo de investimento talvez seja mais adaptado para as nações do que para as sociedades. Hoje é muito díficil convencer a população de aceitar uma hidrelétrica grande. E é muito difícil fazer no tempo e nos custos previstos. E enquanto todo esse tempo passa, tudo muda, e a tecnologia muda mais rapidamente ainda".
