Origin Energy and AGL Energy will go head-to-head in a $4 billion battle for CWP Renewables, after their respective consortiums were shortlisted for the auction’s second and final round.

Partners Group started with the Sapphire Wind Farm in northern NSW in December 2016, and turned CWP into a renewables group with 1.5 gigawatts of assets in production or under construction.Australia’s two biggest power providers, and their bid partners, are up against $100 billion global gorilla Iberdrola, which acquired ASX-listed Infigen Energy to kick off its Australian expansion two years ago.

First, though, the bidders need to make a call on long-range power price forecasts, the interest rate environment and the infrastructure construction market. There’s considerable uncertainty around all three.It’s clear from the three known shortlisted bidders - Origin Energy with Canada’s CDPQ, QIC and its portfolio company Tilt Renewables and Iberdrola - that it’s too complex for financial buyers.

It’ll be interesting to see where binding bids land. The QIC-managed PowAR paid 28-times earnings for Tilt Renewables last year, which was seen as a big price to win a red-hot auction. . A mid 20-times EBITDA result would suggest a $5 billion-plus price, which would be a huge result for Partners Group. Partners started with CWP Renewables in December 2016, when it invested in the 270 megawatt Sapphire Wind Farm in northern NSW.

Coles offloading petrol business to Viva EnergyColes is exiting the fuel retailing business with their $300 million sale of the Coles Express petrol stations to Viva Energy.

UK may ‘go back to pre-industrial revolution’ times as energy crisis worsensBrexit movement leader Nigel Farage says former UK prime minister Boris Johnson was the “high priest of net zero” during his time – even as the former leader lashed out at energy policy. “What nuclear power gives you is baseload but for us to build a major new nuclear facility in Suffolk on the east coast of England – which is what Boris was doing on that day – it’ll be at least 12 years before that’s in production,” he told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “By that time, we may well have economically have gone back to pre the Industrial Revolution because we won’t have any hot water, we won’t have any computers.” Farage is another Andrew Bolt perfect for sky’s biased reporting. Get those water wheels turning by jove.

Europe’s energy crisis has ‘just been getting worse’Sky News host Chris Kenny says Europe’s energy crisis has been worsening as the world mourns Queen Elizabeth II. “Crippling power bills are forcing manufacturers to close their doors for a couple of days each week, standing down staff,” he said. Mr Kenny said parts of Germany have banned hot showers at gyms and swimming pools as well as portable air conditioners and heaters and Paris has resorted to turning off the Eiffel Tower’s lights early. “And in Britain, millions of businesses will have their power bills capped for six months, to help them stay afloat,” he said. “Boris Johnson, in one of his final speeches as PM, hit the nail on the head, identifying nuclear as the solution, while calling out weak poltictions for dropping the ball.” Get woke go broke.
