???? 據彭博新聞社社3月17日阿布扎比報道，知情人士稱，阿布扎比國家能源公司（塔卡/Taqa）時下正在考慮出售其旗下的石油和天然氣資產的選項，因為這家國有公用事業公司更關注發電。

????知情人士表示，塔卡正在與潛在的顧問進行商談，因為該公司正在評估一項橫跨包括英國和加拿大在內國家的業務。因此事屬于私人事務而要求不具名采訪的知情人士稱，塔卡的石油和天然氣投資組合的價值可能遠低于其建設成本數十億美元。

????知情人士稱，最終決定尚未做出，可能決定不繼續出售。塔卡沒有立即回復記者的置評請求。

????塔卡擁有石油資源豐富的阿聯酋的首都阿布扎比的電力和供水分配。阿布扎比市政府的目標是將塔卡打造成為地區公用事業龍頭企業。去年，阿布扎比制定了一項計劃，讓塔卡從國有控股公司阿布扎比電力公司獲得資產，以換取股份。這筆交易使塔卡的估值超過400億美元，并使其成為阿聯酋最大的上市公司之一。

????由于去年冠狀病毒疫情引發的大宗商品價格暴跌，塔卡的石油和天然氣業務陷入困境。去年，塔卡的收入為42億迪拉姆(11億美元)，較前一年下降31%。利息、稅項、折舊和攤銷前利潤下降71%，至7億迪拉姆。

????UAE mulls sale of Taqa’s oil and gas assets, focusing on power generation

????Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. is considering options for its oil and gas assets, including a potential sale, as the state-owned utility focuses more on power generation, people familiar with the matter said.

????The company, also known as Taqa, is speaking with potential advisers as it reviews a business that spans countries including the UK and Canada, the people said, asking not to be identified as the matter is private. Taqa’s oil and gas portfolio could be worth substantially less than the billions of dollars it spent to build it, the people said.

????No final decisions have been made and it may decide not to proceed with a sale, the people said. Taqa didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

????Taqa has a monopoly on power and water distribution in Abu Dhabi, capital of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates. The city’s government aims to create a regional utility champion out of the company. Last year, Abu Dhabi orchestrated a plan for Taqa to receive assets from government-owned holding company Abu Dhabi Power Corp., known as ADPower, in return for shares. The deal pushed Taqa’s valuation to more than $40 billion and made it one of the largest listed companies in the UAE.

????The firm’s oil and gas business has struggled because of last year’s coronavirus-triggered slump in commodity prices. In 2020, it made revenue of 4.2 billion dirhams ($1.1 billion), a 31% drop from the previous year. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization fell 71% to 700 million dirhams.
