Engie Brasil considers entry in transmission lines and acquisitions

Engie Brasil avalia entrada no setor de linhas de transmissão e aquisições

Intel ID : 245634
Synopsis

Engie Brasil (BVMF: EGIE3), a Santa Catarina, Brazil-based electricity company, is considering new investments, which may include its entry in transmission lines sector or acquisition, according to Reuters on 24 February 2017, citing the company's CFO, Carlos Freitas.

According to Carlos Freitas, the company has a comfortable financial situation and low leverage. "Clearly, we have bronwfield (existing assets) opportunity in the market, and the transmission lines may be interesting as well" said Freitas, adding that the company is considering participating in power line concession auctions.

Engie Brasil is also studying the divestment of two coal-fired thermal plants, one in operation and one under construction. The company, however, is still in the starting stage of seeking potential prospects and has not defined if it will really move forward with the deal.

A Engie Brasil (BVMF:EGIE3), empresa com sede em Santa Catarina, que atua na geração e comercialização de energia elétrica, avalia novos investimentos, que podem incluir a entrada no setor de linhas de transmissão ou aquisições, segundo publicou a Reuters no dia 24 de fevereiro de 2017, citando o diretor financeiro da empresa, Carlos Freitas.

Segundo Carlos Freitas, a empresa tem situação financeira confortável e baixa alavancagem, o que permite à companhia avaliar novos investimentos. "Claramente, a gente tem oportunidade de bronwfield (ativos existentes) no mercado, e tem a transmissão, que pode ser interessante também", disse Freitas, e adiantou que a companhia estuda participar de leilões de concessão de linhas de energia.

A Engie Brasil também estuda se desfazer de duas usinas térmicas a carvão, uma em operação e outra em construção. A empresa, no entanto, ainda está em fase inicial de prospecção de possíveis interessados e não definiu se realmente avançará com o negócio.
