-- サントス(ASX:STO)は南オーストラリア州のムーンバ二酸化炭素回収・貯留プロジェクトで進展を見せているものの、新規エネルギープロジェクトのパイプラインが限られていることと、グリーン投資の減少が懸念材料であると、オーストラリア医療従事者年金基金(HESTA)が木曜日に述べた。 サントスの株主である同年金基金は、同社の年次株主総会後に声明を発表し、ケビン・ギャラガーCEOへの報酬報告書と株式取得権の付与に反対票を投じたことを明らかにした。 「当社の見解では、ケビン・ギャラガーCEOへの報酬は、会社の業績と、過去7年間で3度目の買収提案が破談になったことを考慮すると、十分に正当化されるものではない。これらの要因はいずれも株主価値を圧迫している」と、HESTAのデビー・ブレイクリーCEOは述べた。 HESTAは、株式取得権は対象範囲が限定的であるため、異議申し立てが不十分であり、新規エネルギープロジェクトへの意欲を低下させる可能性があると考えている。 「我々の取り組みは、より信頼性の高い新エネルギーおよび転換プロジェクトのパイプラインの構築、経営幹部報酬体系におけるより厳格な業績目標の設定、そして明確な後継者育成計画の策定に重点を置く」とブレイクリー氏は述べた。 サントス氏はMTニュースワイヤーズからのコメント要請にすぐには応じなかった。

Global Power Solutions (PWER.V) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with 2782404 AB LTD to evaluate the potential development of a modular hydrogen-powered energy project, it said Monday.The parties, under the terms of the LOI, will undertake a technical, commercial, and regulatory feasibility review to evaluate the potential development of one or more modular facilities with a potential aggregate capacity of up to about 100 megawatts. The proposed project, if advanced following feasibility review and definitive agreements, could be developed in phased stages."This LOI represents an opportunity to evaluate a potential application of modular hydrogen-powered energy systems within a decentralized generation framework," said Global Power Solutions Chief Executive Peter Medved. "The feasibility process will allow both parties to assess technical configuration, commercial structure, and regulatory considerations before determining whether to proceed toward definitive agreements."The company may establish project-level special purpose entities (SPEs) for the development, ownership, financing, and operation of any project facilities. 2782404 is expected to provide site access information, operational requirements, and anticipated power demand profiles to support the feasibility assessment, while Global is expected to lead the technical evaluation and project development planning.The parties also anticipate that the feasibility process will include engineering studies, site suitability assessments, preliminary financial modeling, and evaluation of hydrogen production, storage, and power generation configurations. If the project proceeds beyond feasibility, the parties, it added, may negotiate a long-term power purchase agreement under which electricity generated by the project could potentially be supplied to 2782404 under a defined commercial framework.Shares of the company closed up 10% to $0.32 on Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange.
