Vattenfall divests Danish power plant
Vattenfall is selling its CHP-plant Fyn Power Station in Denmark to Fjernvarme Fyn in line with group strategy to divest non-core assets and to decrease CO2 exposure. Denmark remains a core Vattenfall market for renewable energy production.
Danish district heating company Fjernvarme Fyn will purchase Fyn Power Station including a waste incineration plant for an enterprise value of 1.1 billion Danish kronor, approximately 1.4 billion Swedish kronor.
The sales price consists of 600 million Danish kronor, approximately 760 million Swedish kronor, in cash consideration and takeover of decommissioning obligations and environmental liabilities. The transaction is expected to be completed by 1 January 2015.
- Vattenfall is the largest owner and producer of onshore wind power in Denmark and we continuously work on our strategic goal to transform the production portfolio away from CO2-emitting production into renewable production. The divestment of Fyn power station is another important step to continue to shift from fossil fuels into green energies, says Ingrid Bonde, Vattenfall Chief Financial Officer and Deputy Chief Executive Officer.
The transaction is subject to approval of the city council of Odense and the city council of Nordfyns Kommune as well as of the Danish Energy Agency and the Danish Competition and Consumer Authority.
