Comments
Commenting on the agreement, Mestrallet said: “This agreement illustrates the commitment and strengthening involvement of GDF Suez in sustainable growth in China. The Group’s long-term relationships in China have been marked by the 2011 cooperation agreement signed with China Investment Corporation (CIC), the 2012 partnership with PetroChina to develop six deep underground gas storage tanks, and the 2013 installation of a first floating LNG import terminal. The Group’s expertise and know-how in the gas value chain and in energy services is recognised by our partners in China, Beijing Gas Group with whom we signed a cooperation agreement last March, and today Shenergy Group.”
Shenergy Group is a major investor and constructor of large energy infrastructures in Shanghai and the main supplier of electricity and gas energy to the city.
