Gérard Mestrallet, chairperson and CEO of GDF SUEZ, signed a cooperation agreement with Wu Jianxiong, CEO of Shenergy Group, to improve cooperation in energy sector, and jointly explore and share development opportunities.
The scope of cooperation includes natural gas, energy services industry, power generation and related businesses, mainly covering liquefied natural gas, decentralised energy, gas to power generation, low emission energy application and infrastructure projects. Both companies aim at developing technical cooperation and communication in natural gas transportation and distribution, including the organisation of staff trainings, learning missions, and enhance technical cooperation and communication in power generation.
Mestrallet stated, âThis agreement illustrates the commitment and strengthening involvement of GDF SUEZ in sustainable growth in China. The Groupâs 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 Groupâs 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.â?
