GDF Suez : un intérêt en Irlande ? 18/03/2013 09:50


Selon le "Sunday Post", GDF Suez serait intéressé par l'achat d'une participation au capital de l'irlandais Bord Gais Energy. Le mois dernier, Bord Gais, qui serait valorisé environ 1 Milliard d'euros par le gouvernement, a invité les candidats à son rachat à contacter sa "banque conseil", Royal Bank of Canada Capital Markets. La publication d'un mémorandum officiel est prévue le mois prochain, après quoi l'appel d'offres débutera, précise le journal. Bord Gais possède 900.000 clients. Sa division de détail fournit du gaz et de l'électricité aux ménages et aux entreprises en République d'Irlande, ainsi que dans le Nord, par le biais de sa filiale, Firmus Energy.

GDF-Suez: vers un re-test des 14,05E.

(CercleFinance.com) - Le plus mauvais performer du trimestre ne faillit pas à sa réputation en cette journée technique des '4 sorcières' puisque les gérants continuent de l'éradiquer de leurs portefeuilles à l'heure du bilan trimestriel.
Le titre replonge vers les 14,50 (la MM20) et pourrait s'acheminer vers un re-test des 14,05E (plancher du 21/02 au 04/03/2013) avant de rebondir éventuellement en direction des 15,7E (MM100) puis des 16E.

GDF SUEZ : French Gas Tariffs To Drop 0.5% in March - Report
03/14/2013| 03:16am US/Eastern

French regulated natural gas tariffs are to drop by around 0.5% in March, French daily Le Figaro reports Thursday, citing unspecified sources.

Over the first quarter of the year, the gas tariffs are likely to decline around 1.5%, after they fell 0.5% in January and 0.3% in February from a year earlier, the newspaper also reports.

If confirmed, the news would be a welcome respite for French households, which face increased unemployment and taxes.

French gas tariffs are now calculated on a monthly basis to take into account gas prices and gas suppliers' costs as a matter of increased transparency. The change comes after several years of controversy and legal battles between the successive governments, which capped tariffs increases to preserve households' spending power, and gas suppliers who couldn't recoup their supplying costs.

Prior to this, tariffs were set on a quarterly basis.

Energie : une nouvelle baisse des prix du gaz au 1er avril ? 14/03/2013 07:24


Les prix du gaz devraient continuer à baisser le mois prochain... Selon des informations publiées ce jeudi matin par 'Le Figaro', les tarifs réglementés du gaz devraient ainsi enregistrer une nouvelle baisse de l'ordre de 0,5%, au 1er avril. Ils avaient déjà reculé de 0,5% au 1er février, puis de 0,3% au 1er mars.
Sur les trois premiers mois de l'année, leur repli s'établirait donc à environ 1,5%, ce qui bénéficiera aux quelque 11 millions de foyers concernés par les prix réglementés. La ministre de l'Énergie Delphine Batho devrait bientôt officialiser ces chiffres, selon le quotidien...
Depuis le 1er janvier, les tarifs réglementés du gaz sont revus tous les mois, et non plus tous les trimestres, dans un souci de mieux "lisser" les évolutions des prix.

(Tradingsat.com) - Nomura a revu mardi son objectif de cours sur GDF Suez de 20 à 18,8 euros, tout en confirmant une recommandation "Neutre". L'analyste tient compte des résultats annuels des entreprises du secteur "Utilities", mais également de ses nouvelles prévisions concernant le prix de vente de l'électricité nucléaire (45 €/MWh en 2014 et 2015 contre 48 € et 49 € auparavant), qu'il a déjà incorporées dans EDF.

Le broker craint des révisions en baisse du dividende pour RWE et Verbund à partir de 2014, mais ne s'inquiète pas pour GDF Suez qui s'est engagé à maintenir une "politique de dividende attractive".

Pour rappel, le Groupe a annoncé un dividende stable de 1,50 euro au titre de l'exercice 2012. Un acompte de 0,83 euro par action a déjà été versé le 25 octobre 2012. Le solde de 0,67 euro par action sera mis en paiement en numéraire le 30 avril 2013. La date de détachement du dividende est fixée au 25 avril 2013.

Natural-gas bonanza gives Texas an edge in manufacturing

HOUSTON - The natural-gas bonanza is providing Texas with a rapidly growing competitive advantage in manufacturing.

Executives from across the country and around the world last week marveled at the state's success during IHS CERAWeek, the energy industry's premier annual conference.

Gérard Mestrallet, chairman and CEO of the global power company GDF Suez, called the Texas business climate "fantastic" and said his company would be focusing more of its investments in the state.

"Thanks to shale gas, the USA and Canada are getting new energy competitiveness," he said. "In Europe, in terms of labor costs, we are at a negative compared to the advantages of Asia. Now Europe is having a disadvantage in energy compared to the United States."

The U.S. wholesale price of natural gas is less than a third of the average cost in Europe, and less than a fifth of the cost in Japan for imported liquefied natural gas.

Energy historian Dan Yergin, vice chairman of IHS and impresario of the Houston conference for 32 years, said the gas boom creates a long-term competitive shift, feeding an industrial renaissance in the United States.

"This was not well perceived a year ago. Over the last six months, it's become a lot clearer to economic decision makers around the world," he said.

Major projects begin

Texas has already seen several major projects get under way thanks to cheap natural gas.

The lion's share of $100 billion in newly announced petrochemical plant investments is aimed along the Texas Gulf Coast. Exxon Mobil Chemical Co. president Steve Pryor announced the latest of these at the conference, where he described a multibillion-dollar expansion of the company's Baytown petrochemical complex.

"The project will be a win-win for Exxon Mobil and Texas, a pro-business state which has attracted more Exxon Mobil investment than anywhere in the country, and where we are the state's largest taxpayer," Pryor said.

Jim Osten, a senior natural gas analyst with IHS, said ammonia fertilizer and methanol plants are also heading back to the United States to take advantage of cheap natural gas. (Methanol is a gasoline additive.)

"To have a renaissance of industry, you have to either displace imports or export," Osten said. The U.S. was importing almost all its methanol, and 7 million tons of ammonia. Most of that will soon be made instead in Louisiana and other gas-rich states, he said.

Osten said the steel industry "will do quite well" with cheap natural gas. China's Tianjin Pipe Corp. is building a $1 billion steel plant outside Corpus Christi to supply oil and gas drillers. Luxembourg-based Tenaris SA announced in February that it would build a $1.3 billion steel pipe plant in Bay City.

Electricity savings

Low-cost gas also makes electricity less expensive, which opens up broader manufacturing possibilities.

"Cheap electricity will keep costs down for making machines, and for industries that use robotics," Osten said. "That will play as big a role in the industrial renaissance as cheap natural gas as a chemical feedstock."

The U.S. arm of Germany's Siemens Corp. finds Texas an attractive location for serving both national and international markets, said Eric Spiegel, the company's president and CEO.

He said Texas is also a pro-manufacturing state and "a good place" for hiring skilled, experienced workers, both in energy and in technical fields.

Siemens has 5,000 employees in 63 locations around the state, including Siemens PLM, a large industrial software facility in Frisco.

Competitive advantages can erode over time, sometimes very quickly. But this one is expected to last for many years.

"Energy is one of the most important elements of competitiveness," said Hirobumi Kawano, president of the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. "Given the situation ... Japanese companies are going to invest in the United States seeking lower-cost materials."
