公用事业局:按原计划周六接管大泉海水淡化厂

据了解,尽管有阿拉伯联合酋长国事业集团Utico等提出报价,有意投资凯发集团(Hyflux),然而公用事业局仍会按照原定计划,在本周六(18日)接管大泉海水淡化厂。 公用事业局是在上月17日发文告,表示为了保障新加坡水资源,正式向凯发集团旗下的大泉水电厂,发出终止购水协议(WPA)的通知,并将接管大泉海水淡化厂。 凯发集团原本有印尼财团SM投资注资5亿3000万元助凯发重组,但后来凯发突然宣布终止重组协议。 当时凯发向投资者保证,会继续寻求可行的策略,在法庭监督下完成重组过程。 但是公用事业局在受《亚洲新闻台》询问,表示仍会照原计划接管大泉水厂。 在本月初,凯发表示包括基金公司Oyster Bay Fund和阿联酋Utico,都有意投资凯发。 其中阿联酋Utico有意注资四亿新元,也将为凯发注入营运资本和其他急需应用的资金。 阿联酋总裁告诉路透社,针对投资凯发事宜将与公用事业局洽谈。 “我们上周提交了有约束力的条款清单,寻求可令所有利益相关者满意的交易。” 上周,法庭已驳回银行债权人,将凯发交由司法管理的申请。同时,延长凯发债务延期偿付令(moratorium)期限,延长至本月29日。…
