Golar tender outcome
Oct 2 (LNGJ) - Golar Power, the joint venture involving Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners and which in the future will be named Hygo Energy Transition, has apparently submitted the highest bid to lease the Salvador LNG import terminal in the northeast Brazilian state of Bahia, according to media reports in Brazil, citing officials involved in the process.
In a securities exchange filing, Brazil’s state-controlled energy company Petrobras confirmed only that it had received an offer from Golar, though there were doubts about the final outcome because of a Hygo Energy executive being caught up in a completely unrelated bribery probe. Petrobras added that the tender process would now enter a phase in which interested parties could lodge appeals. A total of 12 companies applied to submit offers, including Spanish energy company Repsol and France’s Total.
