据油价网6月13日消息称，杜克能源公司达成了一项协议，将其商业可再生能源业务出售给布鲁克菲尔德可再生能源公司——一家风能和太阳能资产运营商。

这笔交易价值28亿美元，但净收益将低得多，为11亿美元。杜克公司在一份新闻稿中表示，该公司将利用这笔资金发展其他风能和太阳能业务，计划在未来12年内将超过30吉瓦的发电容量纳入其系统。

杜克能源总裁兼首席执行官Lynn Good表示：“此次出售是我们向完全控股公司转型的重要一步，我们有宏大的电网和清洁能源投资计划，将为我们的客户和利益相关者带来好处。”

布鲁克菲尔德的首席执行官则评论说，这笔交易将巩固该公司作为美国最大的风能和太阳能运营商之一的地位，该公司拥有约90吉瓦的运营和开发资产。

杜克能源公司报告今年第一季度净亏损，尽管收入小幅增长了3.8%。该公司5月份表示，控股资产的收入增长了6.6%，而非完全控股资产的收入下降了。

该公司将其非完全控股的业务出售给布鲁克菲尔德可再生能源公司。这些总计超过3.4吉瓦的风能和太阳能发电能力以及电池存储能力。

杜克能源首席财务官本月早些时候对路透表示，该公司计划在未来五年内投资约650亿美元，以转向低碳电力来源。该计划旨在帮助该公司到2030年将碳排放量减少50%以上。

杜克还表示，该公司还计划到2030年成为其天然气发电所产生甲烷的净零排放者。

作为长期计划的一部分，杜克能源公司计划到2035年关闭所有的燃煤电厂。到2050年，该公司计划完全实现净零碳排放。

Duke Energy To Sell Renewable Energy Assets For $2.8 Billion

Duke Energy has struck a deal to sell its unregulated Commercial Renewables business to Brookfield Renewable—a wind and solar power asset operator.

The deal is worth $2.8 billion but net proceeds will be a lot lower, at $1.1 billion. Duke will use the money to grow its other wind and solar business with plans to incorporate over 30 GW of regulated capacity into its system over the next 12 years, the company said in a news release.

"This sale is an important step in our transition into a purely regulated company with significant grid and clean energy investment plans that will deliver benefits to our customers and stakeholders,” the president and EO of Duke Energy, Lynn Good, said.

The CEO of Brookfield, for his part, commented that the deal would cement the company’s position as one of the biggest wind and solar operators in the country, with some 90 GW in operating and development assets.

Duke Energy reported a net loss for the first quarter of the year although revenues inched up by 3.8%. The revenue from regulated assets increased by 6.6%, the company said in May while revenue from unregulated assets declined.

The company is selling its unregulated operations to Brookfield Renewable. These total more than 3.4 GW in wind and solar power generation capacity and battery storage capacity.

Over the next five years, Duke Energy plans to invest some $65 billion to switch to a lower-carbon source of electricity, the company’s chief financial officer told Reuters earlier this month. The plans aim to help reduce the company’s carbon emissions by over 50% by 2030.

The company also aims to become a net-zero emitter in methane from its gas-powered energy generation assets by 2030, Duke also said.

As part of longer-term plans, Duke Energy eyes shutting down all of its coal power plants by 2035. By 2050, the company plans to have become fully net-zero in carbon emissions.
