據(jù)能源世界7月28日消息，荷蘭皇家殼牌公司周二表示，將收購可再生能源零售商Inspire energy Capital LLC，這家歐洲巨頭正尋求擴大其在美國的可再生能源業(yè)務(wù)。

　　殼牌旗下子公司殼牌新能源美國有限責任公司(Shell New energy U.S. LLC)達成的這筆交易，推進了殼牌建立和擴大可再生能源和低碳業(yè)務(wù)的戰(zhàn)略，目標是到2050年成為凈零排放能源業(yè)務(wù)。

　　在今年5月荷蘭法院做出一項具有里程碑意義的裁決后，殼牌一直在尋找方法，以加速其能源轉(zhuǎn)型戰(zhàn)略，并深化碳減排。

　　與其他石油公司一樣，殼牌也受到投資者的壓力，要求削減導致地球變暖的溫室氣體排放。該公司表示，計劃到2025年增加在可再生能源和低碳技術(shù)方面的支出，占總預(yù)算的比例最高可達25%。

　　Inspire目前為特拉華州、伊利諾伊州、馬薩諸塞州、馬里蘭州、新澤西州、紐約州、俄亥俄州、賓夕法尼亞州和華盛頓特區(qū)的大約23.5萬名住宅客戶提供服務(wù)，此次交易將進一步鞏固殼牌作為美國住宅客戶電力供應(yīng)商的現(xiàn)有地位。

　　該交易預(yù)計將在今年第四季度完成。

　　Shell to buy Inspire Energy in green energy push

　　Royal Dutch Shell Plc said on Tuesday it would buy renewable energy retailer Inspire Energy Capital LLC, as the European major looks to expand its renewable power business in the United States.

　　The deal, by the company's unit Shell New Energies U.S. LLC, advances Shell's strategy to build and scale renewable and low-carbon businesses with a target to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050.

　　Shell has been seeking ways to accelerate its energy transition strategy and deepen carbon emission cuts following a landmark Dutch court ruling in May.

　　Like other oil companies, Shell has come under investor pressure to slash planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions and said it plans to increase its spending on renewables and low carbon technologies to up to 25% of its overall budget by 2025. (https://reut.rs/3BMTp37)

　　Inspire, which currently serves about 235,000 residential customers in Delaware, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Washington DC, will add to Shell's existing position as a power supplier to residential customers in the United States alongside MP2 Energy.

　　The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year.
