Beijing extends its influence in European water
The completion of Beijing Enterprises Water Group¡¯s acquisition of Veolia Water¡¯s Portuguese activities later this quarter will mark the first time a Chinese private water operator has taken over an established reference base in Europe.
Although the Chinese have shown increased levels of interest in European water assets (sovereign wealth fund China Investment Corporation took an 8.7% stake in Thames Water last year, for example), the Veolia deal demonstrates a bold new direction for China¡¯s global water ambitions.
The deal, which carries a base purchase price of ¢æ95 million, is BEWG¡¯s second large-scale international foray, following its 2011 EPC contract for a 320,175m©ø/d WWTP in Malaysia.
Although the acquired business is profitable, generating net income of ¢æ1 million on revenues of ¢æ42 million last year, Veolia was forced to record an intangible asset impairment charge of ¢æ11.2 million on the business in 2011, related to the economic crisis in Portugal.
