Broad Reach Power Acquired by ENGIE from EnCap Energy Transition and Apollo Funds

Transaction represents in excess of $1 billion equity value.
Broad Reach is the premier battery energy storage developer in two of the largest battery storage markets in the U.S. - Texas and California.

August 24, 2023 08:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EnCap Energy Transition today announced that French multinational utility company ENGIE has agreed to acquire the battery storage business of Houston-based Broad Reach Power from EnCap Energy Transition Fund I, its co-investment partners Yorktown Partners, Mercuria Energy and Apollo Infrastructure Funds (the “Apollo Funds”) for a total equity value in excess of $1 billion. Since Broad Reach was founded in 2019 with backing from EnCap Energy Transition, it has become a leading U.S. developer and operator of renewable energy and energy storage power projects in Texas, California and other markets. Apollo Funds acquired a 50% stake in the company and joined the Board in December 2021.

The acquisition also includes a 1.7 GW pipeline of battery storage projects at an advanced stage of development and a significant pipeline of early-stage projects. The first CAISO storage asset is expected to be operational in 2023.

The transaction does not include the company’s portfolio of 1.8GW of solar and wind power projects together with 4GWh of battery storage in the Mountain West region of the U.S.

“EnCap Energy Transition is pleased to have founded, with the talented, hard-working management team at Broad Reach Power, the top battery storage player in the U.S. market,” said EnCap Energy Transition Managing Partner Shawn Cumberland, who is also Chairman of the Broad Reach Board of Directors. “It has been a pleasure to have partnered with Apollo Funds in this important and valuable venture.”

We are extremely appreciative of the work and expertise of our entire staff and the support and backing of the highly talented team at EnCap Energy Transition throughout the process. We look forward to teaming with ENGIE to carry on the work.”

Stacey Peterson, Broad Reach Power’s CEO, who joined the firm last year added, “Our firm’s success is a direct result of the tireless dedication of our team, who go above and beyond every day. I want to thank the BRP team for their amazing work, and also thank EnCap, Apollo Funds, Yorktown and Mercuria for their unwavering support of our business over the past four years. This a great transaction and we are excited for its continued growth.”

Engie secures $400 million in financing for Chilean battery storage
July 07, 2023

Energy Storage News


The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has signed a US$400 million loan to Engie Energía Chile S.A. (ENGIE Chile) to fund the installation of new Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS’).

The BESS’ (capacity yet unknown) will help facilitate the supply of clean energy to Chile’s National Electric System (SEN).

A member of the World Bank Group, this is IFC’s first sustainability-linked loan in Chile’s energy sector and is set to accelerate Engie’s decarbonisation programme in the country.

The financing package consists of US$200 million provided by the IFC; US$114.5 million from investors under IFC’s Managed Co-lending Portfolio Program; and US$35.5 million from ILX Fund, a Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)-focused investor under IFC’s B Loan Program.

IFC is also expecting to close a US$50 million parallel loan in the next few weeks, bringing the financing package to a total of US$400 million.

According to IFC, the loan was structured with the specific objective of decommissioning or converting ENGIE Chile’s remaining coal generation assets.

“IFC is mobilizing the necessary capital for sustainable innovation to promote decarbonization initiatives and adapt to global warming,” said Manuel Reyes-Retana, regional director at IFC.

GTT unveils its innovative three-tank LNG carrier concept with two Approvals in Principle

GTT unveils its innovative three-tank LNG carrier concept with two Approvals in Principle

Paris – October 25th, 2022. GTT announces that it has received two Approvals in Principle (AiP) for its innovative three-tank LNG tanker design, from DNV and Bureau Veritas (BV). This cutting-edge technological solution is aimed at increasing the profitability and overall performance of the vessel.

This three-tank LNG carrier concept permits a reduction in construction costs through the suppression of one cofferdam, one pump tower and all associated cryogenic equipment (liquid and gas domes, valves, piping, radars, etc.). The overall surface area of the containment system will also be reduced by about 2,000 m², generating lower costs for the materials and vessel construction.

At the same time, the improved ratio between the volume of LNG transported and the surface area of the cryogenic liner will make it possible to reduce the daily boil-off rate. As an example, GTT estimates that it will achieve a boil-off rate as low as 0.080% of tank volume per day with the Mark III Flex technology, compared to 0.085% of the volume per day with the LNG carriers currently in operation.

This new design could also offer time-savings for shipyards and optimise their construction schedule.

DNV and BV have issued an approval in principle for this innovative three-tank LNG carrier design for the Mark III and NO96 technologies developed by GTT.

Philippe Berterottière, Chairman and CEO of GTT, said: "For almost 60 years, the GTT Group has been constantly improving its technologies to offer its customers solutions that meet their requirements as well as those of the regulatory authorities. Thirty years ago, we upgraded LNG carriers from five to four tanks and we now hope to bring the market forward with a three-tank LNG carrier. We hope to see this concept become standard in future years."

Jean-Baptiste Boutillier, VP Development, Innovation and Technical Strategy at GTT, said: "We are honored by the granting of these two approvals in principle for the design of the three-tank LNG carrier. We are convinced that this evolution will benefit all stakeholders by improving the performance of the LNG carrier while reducing its carbon footprint."

Engie has fallen below the 15% threshold in GTT's capital
09 November 2022 - 10:42AM
Dow Jones News



PARIS (Agefi-Dow Jones)--Engie declared on Wednesday to the French financial markets authority (AMF) that on Monday, November 7, 2022, it had crossed the thresholds of 15% of the capital and voting rights of the manufacturer of cryogenic membranes used to transport liquefied natural gas Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT). The gas and electricity supplier now holds approximately 5.4 million GTT shares with the same number of voting rights, representing 14.65% of the company's capital and voting rights.


This threshold crossing results from the delivery by Engie of 293,219 GTT shares following the conversion of 290,000 bonds (issued by Engie on 2 June 2021 and maturing on 2 June 2024) exchangeable for existing GTT ordinary shares, said the French energy company. On this occasion, Engie declared that it had individually crossed the same thresholds downwards.

ENGIE to sell part of its shareholding in GTT

• Sell-down of c. 3 million GTT shares representing approximately 8% of
GTT’s share capital through an accelerated bookbuild offering to
institutional investors

• The disposal is consistent with ENGIE’s enhanced divestment programme
for non-core businesses and minority shareholdings, and follows the
strategic review for its shareholding in GTT initiated in November 2020 as
well as the previous sell-down of 10% of GTT’s share capital in May 2021
and the issuance of Exchangeable Bonds in June 2021 over 10% of GTT’s
share capital

• ENGIE’s shareholding in GTT would, upon completion of the Offering and
in case of exchange in full of the outstanding Exchangeable Bonds, be
reduced to c. 12% of GTT’s share capita
Posted at 23/4/2022 07:23 by waldron
One last thing: France still holds 23.6% of engie's capital and 33.2% of its voting rights.

Investors generally view the presence of public power in capital with a critical eye.

As we will have understood, Engie has long since ceased to make investors dream, scalded by years of broken promises and referral errors with serious consequences.

The future looks brighter if not bright, if financial projections are to be believed.

But it will take a little more to convince the market.

Le Pen Energy Plan Promises Fuel-Tax Cut, Ban On Wind Farms
by Bloomberg
|
Francois de Beaupuy
|
Sunday, April 17, 2022



As Europe suffers its worst energy crisis in a generation, French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen is proposing to subsidize consumption while further curtailing supply.

The 53-year-old nationalist is narrowly trailing President Emmanuel Macron in polls ahead of the April 24 runoff election.

She has campaigned for months on a promise to boost voters’ purchasing power by cutting taxes on gasoline, heating oil, natural gas, and electricity.

This help for consumers sits alongside a crackdown on wind turbines, a windfall tax on some of the country’s largest energy companies and an exit from Europe’s electricity market.

While energy costs began rising last year, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has pushed them to the top of the political agenda as prices broke records.

Those increases represent more than half of Europe’s inflation, costing households across the continent some 230 billion euros ($251 billion) this year.

Le Pen has cast herself as the protector of the poor, and her policies may prove to be effective at harnessing the pain of rising prices felt by households and motorists.

Their concerns have been a powerful force in French politics, notably the “Yellow Vest” movement that disrupted the early years of Macron’s presidency.

Yet her plans would leave the country increasingly exposed to energy shortages over time, according to Marc-Antoine Eyl-Mazzega, the head of the Center for Energy & Climate at Institut Francais des Relations Internationales.

“It may please those who don’t like the sight of wind turbines,” Eyl-Mazzega said.

“The power supply situation will deteriorate, and investors will shy away from France.”

The core of Le Pen’s pitch to voters is a 12-billion-euro reduction in the value added tax on energy.

She also promised to roll back 9 billion euros in levies on diesel and gasoline when she takes office if the price of oil is above $100 a barrel.

Those giveaways would come on top of the 25 billion euros of aid to contain energy bills already being phased in by Macron.

The tax cuts would be partly financed by ending subsidies for wind and solar power, Le Pen said.

Regardless of legal issues, she also promised to halt onshore and offshore wind farms under construction, putting at risk projects currently in development by companies including Electricite de France SA, Engie SA, Iberdrola SA, Neoen SA and Voltalia SA.

Wind turbines would be progressively taken down when they reach “the end of their life,” according to her manifesto.

Wind and solar together represented 10% of France’s electricity output last year, and this proportion will probably rise further this year as EDF’s nuclear output is set to drop to the lowest level since 1990 because of maintenance and technical issues at its aging fleet of nuclear reactors.

Yet wind turbines are unpopular in some parts of France, where homeowners argue that they are unsightly and reduce the value of their properties.

Macron has taken some steps to address opposition to wind power, pushing back a target to double onshore capacity by 20 years to 2050.

But the idea of completely blocking the development of domestic sources of renewable power, which have become increasingly price-competitive as the cost of imported fossil fuels and other sources of electricity has surged, has been fiercely criticized.

“The economic and energy policy proposals are out of touch with reality,” Michel Gioria, the general delegate of France Energie Eolienne, the country’s wind power federation. “She’ll plunge France into a difficult situation in terms of energy supply, which will keep prices high.”

Le Pen plans to solve the supply side of the energy equation by launching the construction of 20 large nuclear power plants, which would come progressively online from 2031. She would also seek to re-open the two Fessenheim reactors that Macron shut two years ago, prolong the lifetime of EDF’s 56 operational atomic plants to 60 years, and build some small modular nuclear generators.

That’s a challenging timetable given the recent record of France’s nuclear industry.

EDF still hasn’t commissioned the sole new reactor under construction in the country, at Flamanville, after 15 years of works. The project has been dogged by technical issues and has quadrupled its initial budget to 12.7 billion euros.

Macron’s nuclear plan is to build as many as 14 new large nuclear reactors, with the first pair coming online from 2035. Given supply-chain constraints and modern safety standards, even that more modest proposal brings considerable challenges, France’s power-grid operator said last year.

Engie announces that it has completed the sale of 3.33 million GTT shares at a price of €90 per share and has thus raised €299.7 million, as part of a private placement by way of accelerated construction of an order book with institutional investors.

This sale of shares represents approximately 9% of GTT's share capital. In the event of an exchange of all the bonds exchangeable into GTT ordinary shares issued by Engie in June 2021, its stake in GTT's capital will be reduced to approximately 11%.

The proceeds of the transaction will be used for the general needs of Engie's business and to finance future growth. The energy group has agreed that the residual shares held in GTT will be subject to a 90-day retention commitment.

TotalEnergies Held Talks With French Government on Russia Assets

James Herron and Vidya Root, Bloomberg News


(Bloomberg) -- TotalEnergies SE has held talks with the French government over its continuing operations in Russia, after BP Plc and Shell Plc announced they would exit the country.

The French government has been discussing the issue and TotalEnergies Chief Executive Officer Patrick Pouyanne is “perfectly aware of the gravity of the situation,” French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said in an interview on CNews Television on Tuesday. “It is a question of principle.”

A decision on the company’s operations in Russia will be taken over the coming days, Le Maire said. The government has also held talks with Engie SA over its links with the country, but that situation is “a little different,” he said.

TotalEnergies didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

In just two days, some of Europe’s largest energy companies dumped tens of billions of dollars of Russian investments that they had nurtured over decades and shut themselves out of the world’s largest energy exporter, probably forever.

Shell’s move to exit a stake in the Sakhalin-2 LNG project, an investment that dates back to the Yeltsin era, follows BP Plc’s announcement on Sunday that it will walk away from a holding in Russia’s state oil producer, Rosneft PJSC. The moves by the British companies -- and from Norway’s Equinor ASA -- show just how far Western powers are willing to go to punish President Vladimir Putin for his invasion of Ukraine.

Their decisions put pressure on remaining foreign investors, including Exxon Mobil Corp. and TotalEnergies, to follow suit as Russia’s war in Ukraine forces a dramatic rupture with the global economy.

TotalEnergies has operations in Russia representing around $1.5 billion of its total cash flow, or around 5%. It owns roughly a fifth of gas producer Novatek as well as a large interest in the Yamal LNG project, Russia’s biggest producer of liquefied natural gas. It also has a 10% in the future Arctic LNG 2 development.

Engie’s main Russian connection is a stake in the Nord Stream gas pipeline, and a loan it provided to Nord Stream 2, a project that has already been suspended by the German authorities.
