中国石化新闻网讯 据能源世界网8月19日柏林报道,德国公用事业公司RWE周二完成了20亿欧元(合24亿美元)的股票发行,以支持其可再生能源的发展,包括以4.8亿美元收购风力涡轮机制造商Nordex的项目开发渠道。
RWE在法兰克福市场收盘后发布的一份声明中说,此举将RWE的股本增加了10%,并通过快速累积投标方式成功地将其放置在机构投资者中。
61,474,549股新普通股以每股32.55欧元的价格发行,较周二收盘价折让4.9%。法兰克福--RWE上市公司股价收盘下跌4.3%,至33.08欧元。
首席执行官罗尔夫·马丁·施密茨(Rolf Martin Schmitz)在一份声明中表示,我们非常高兴我们的提议得到了很好的接受,我们在可再生能源领域的雄心也得到了投资者的支持。额外的财政灵活性使我们能够加强我们的项目渠道,并加速我们在风能和太阳能方面的持续增长。
部分资金将用于从涡轮机制造商Nordex购买价值2.7吉瓦的欧洲风能和太阳能项目,这笔交易已于7月底公布。
德国最大的公用事业公司RWE希望到2022年底将其可再生能源投资组合增加到逾130亿吉瓦,并投资总计50亿欧元。
自RWE接管前子公司Innogy和德国同行E.ON的风能和太阳能业务以来,Nordex交易是第一笔重大可再生能源交易。
重组将RWE定位为欧洲第三大可再生能源生产商,因为德国正在逐步淘汰核能和煤炭,以追求安全和环境可持续的能源组合。
首席财务官马库斯·克雷伯(MarkusKrebber)确认了2020年每股派息0.85欧元的计划。

Germany's RWE rakes in $2.4 billion to fund renewable energy expansion
German utility RWE on Tuesday completed a 2 billion euro ($2.4 billion) share issue to back its expansion into renewable energy, including its $480 million purchase of wind turbine maker Nordex's project development pipeline.
The move increases RWE's share capital by 10 per cent and was successfully placed with institutional investors via an accelerated bookbuilding process, RWE said in a statement issued after the Frankfurt market close.
The 61,474,549 new common bearer shares were placed at 32.55 euros apiece, a discount of 4.9 per cent to Tuesday's closing price. Frankfurt-listed shares in RWE closed 4.3 per cent lower at 33.08 euros.
"We are very pleased how well our offer was accepted and how our growth ambition in renewable energy is being supported by our investors," Chief Executive Rolf Martin Schmitz said in a statement.
"The additional financial flexibility enables us to enhance our project pipeline and to accelerate our continued growth in wind and solar power."
Part of the proceeds will be used to buy 2.7 gigawatts (GW) worth of European wind and solar projects from turbine maker Nordex in a deal made public at the end of July.
RWE, Germany's biggest utility, wants to increase its renewables portfolio to more than 13 billion GW and invest a total of 5 billion euros by the end of 2022.
The Nordex transaction was the first major renewables deal since RWE took over the wind and solar activities of former subsidiary Innogy and German peer E.ON.
The restructuring positions RWE as Europe's third-largest renewables player as Germany phases out nuclear power and coal in pursuit of a safe and environmentally sustainable energy mix.
Chief Financial Officer Markus Krebber confirmed plans to pay a dividend of 0.85 euro per share for 2020.
