È più di un decennio che la Cina esegue acquisti mirati nel settore energetico europeo.
Adesso nel mirino c’è la Energias de Portugal (EDP), per la quali i cinesi sono disposti a dare 10.8 miliaridi di dollari americani.
«The company serves almost 10 million power market clients and 1.6 million natural gas customers and runs over 330,000 kilometers (205,000 miles) of power transmission lines»
*
«Another Chinese state company, CNIC, holds a nearly 5 percent stake in EDP, while other leading shareholders include U.S. financial services company Capital Group, with 12 percent, and U.S. private equity firm Blackrock»

«The proposed offer may test the European Union’s readiness to give control of major infrastructure firms in member states to China»

«It could also run into problems with U.S. authorities since EDP Renovaveis (EDP Renewables) is a major player in its wind energy market»

«EDP’s market capitalization was nearly 11.4 billion euros as of Friday. It has a net debt of 13.8 billion euros»
