acquisition spell check!!

17 July 2014 By Sam Metcalf (author) : Alkane powers up with £12.1m Carron Energy acquisitions Edwinstowe-based Alkane Energy has bought a series of power response sites from Carron Energy in a deal worth £12.1m. Alkane Energy will buy the entire share capitals of Darent Power Ltd (Kent), Leven Power (West Midlands) and Rhymney Power (Cardiff) from Cardiff-based Carron Energy. The acquisition of three of Carron’s businesses will add 49MW of power response generating capacity to Alkane’s portfolio of generating assets and is expected to deliver an immediate EBITDA contribution and be EPS accretive in its first full financial year. Alkane says the deals will strengthen the company’s position in the Short Term Operating Reserve (STOR) market, which is estimated to be worth around £100m per year in the UK. STOR market participants are paid premium rates during the year when calledupon by the National Grid to meet temporary supply shortages. Alongside the acquisitions, Alkane Energy has placed 22,222,222 shares at a value of 36p per share, which is expected to raise £8m. Meanwhile, the company will be raising £5.5m of debt finance from Lloyds Bank; the additional funding will be used to provide working capital to support investment in its core gas to power activities. Alkane Energy has a market capitalisation of around £50m and recorded turnover of £21m in the year to 31 December 2013. Investment bank Altium advised Alkane on the deals. Adrian Reed, managing director and head of energy, waste and renewables at Altium, said: “We’re pleased to have acted on behalf of Alkane once again and are delighted to have developed a long standing relationship with the management team over the years. The latest power generation assets will further boost the scale of the group by an additional 49MW of power response. This is crucial at a time when the UK faces growing challenges in relation to declining generating capacity along with the inherent risk of power shortages.” Neil O’Brien, chief executive officer at Alkane Energy, said: “Alkane continues to invest in strategic assets as the UK electricity market faces an increased risk of an energy gap over the coming years. These Power Response sites are important additions to our business offering attractive rates of return and with some significant long term contracted revenues.” - See more at: http://www.eastmidlandsbusinesslink.co.uk/en/embl/finance/1666?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#sthash.1OviPDCC.dpuf

Im damn sure the newer generators, could power 5 with up to 10 with heat exchangers ?? or something like that anyway. OLD info from the coal board:- a good while ago I set about checking out all or most of the PEDLs ALKANE had , to get a good understanding of what they were about, not needed now as their website is more up dated. Even taking own nice photies of their Parsonage Green 3!!, as theyre not too far away!! anyway old DECC info COAL MINE METHANE OPERATORS' ACTIVITIES: 1. TOWER COLLIERY Hyder Consulting in partnership with Tower Colliery installed 6 x 1.5 MW generators powered by methane drained from the active workings. The electricity generated is fed direct into the grid. 2. SILVERDALE COLLIERY Green Gas Power Ltd are actively draining methane from the abandoned colliery and selling it to a local user via the North Staffs Gas Grid, a privately owned pipeline. 3. ALKANE ENERGY PLC 3.1 Shirebrook – Methane is actively drained from the abandoned colliery and sold to Clarke Energy who use it to generate electricity for local use – c. 9 MW. 3.2 Steetley – Methane is actively drained and sold to Clarke Energy who use it to generate electricity – c. 3 MW. 3.3 Monkbretton – Methane is actively drained from the abandoned colliery and sold to Rexam Glassworks – c. 5 MW. 3.4 Wheldale – Methane is actively drained from the abandoned colliery and sold to Scottish and Southern – c. 10 MW. 3.5 Markham– Methane has previously been actively drained and sold to Coalite but as that company has closed a new customer is being sought – c. 2.7 MW. 3.6 Alkane are currently looking at three new sites at Bevercotes – c. 4 MW, Whitwell – c. 2 MW, and Warsop – c. 2 MW, to carry out similar works and are currently seeking to source generating equipment. 4.

They propose to develop 5 or 6 new sites in the next 12 months all approximately 5 MW with the potential for a further 5 MW at each site by the use of Heat Exchangers. Thereafter they propose to move into Coal Bed Methane production using more innovative technology than has previously been applied in the industry. 5.

HI Bear well can you have a look at the text. and one of us shareholders can email both ALKANE and OIL Barrel ************************************************************************************************************************ Alkane is a successful and orderly business. Each year this time of year it issues a pre-close trading update for the six month period to June 30 2014 and talks a little about what the second half might be like. This time twelve months ago it hinted that with the Maltby colliery acquisition being bedded down nicely in the first half, the second six months could see record growth in its core coal mine methane-to-power business. This turned out to be the case. This year its headline story was the sale of its shale assets. Alkane was sitting on ten onshore UK licences covering 66,867 net acres; with two of them; PEDL 043 and PEDL169 in the Gainsborough Trough in the East Midlands Basin and PEDL 191 in the Bowland Basin, both in the UK Midlands and both thought to be highly prospective for shale gas.Alkane had been wondering what it would do with the assets. Really, it did not have the wherewithal to develop the acreage itself. It would have meant Alkane raising a sum not unadjacent to the company’s market cap of £52 million and this did not really seem an option. Onshore oil & gas specialist Egdon Resources has licences nearby and in an all-hare deal Egdon acquired all of Alkane’s shares making itself the third of the UK’s “Big 3” shale players. Alkane walked away with 18 per cent of Egdon, and a seat on the board for Neil O’Brien, Alkane’s canny CEO. O’Brien said of the deal. “This transaction allows Alkane to concentrate its resources on our core electricity generating business.” It also led to a one off exceptional, after costs, pre-tax profit of around £ 9m. This will be reflected in the half year accounts. As for the core gas-to-power business, however, the company suffered a blip, the first one in a long time. H1 output was circa 85GWh (H12013: 94GWh), as the Maltby site was offline for the majority of the spring period. But it was not all bad news. Despite weak near-term power prices, Alkane has 74 per cent of expected 2014 baseload output contracted at £53/MWh and 50 per cent of 2015 output at £54/MWh. House broker, VSA Corporate Finance says, its model assumes £53/MWh for 2014 and £52.5/MWh for 2015. Powermarket prices are currently around £49/MWh for 2015 and circa 52/MWh for 2016. But the core business is not all there is. Alkane now devotes around 36MW of its capacity to power response activities. This means gas companies can earn money by participating in the UK fuel reserve programme in that they provide short term operating reserve to the National Grid when, at times of peak demand and when, say, wind farms do not work. Alkane currently devotes 36 MW of its capacity (about on

Duo in the top 200 for fastest growth By Nottingham Post | Posted: July 14, 2014 TWO Notts businesses have been named among the top 200 fastest growing companies in the East Midlands.

Chief executive officer Neil O'Brien said: "I am delighted our efforts have been recognised. We have accelerated our investment programme during the recession and have an increasing generating capacity at a time when the UK electricity market is seeing a tightening in supply margin."
