It won\u2019t be too long before the government closes the bidding window for <\/strong>Wataniya. <\/strong>Planning Minister and Sovereign Fund of Egypt (SFE) Chair Hala El Said told Asharq Business<\/a> yesterday that investors have 48 hours to submit their final bids for the military-owned filling station operator.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a long time coming:<\/strong>The government has been working on the Wataniya sale \u2014 along with that of the bottled water company Safi \u2014 for the past three years<\/a>, but the sale keeps getting delayed. Wataniya was among five state- and military-owned companies the SFE added to its pre-IPO fund<\/a> in January 2023. We were expecting the sale to wrap in December last year, before El Said said<\/a> that it could be pushed back to this month.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s bidding? <\/strong>Taqa Arabia<\/a> is the only company to have publicly declared interest in the company\u2019s assets, though a number of other firms have been rumored to be lodging bids, including Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) and Shell. <\/p>\n

The Gabal El Zeit wind farm stake sale will follow suit: <\/strong>The government will finalize the 580-MW Gabal El Zeit wind farm stake sale before the end of March, El Said added, cementing her comment from December<\/a> about the stake sale, alongside that of the 545-MW Zafarana wind farm, wrapping up in 1Q 2024. <\/p>\n

Where do things currently stand? <\/strong>The SFE has reportedly appointed Belgium-headquartered engineering and consultancy firm Tractebel to act as a consultant for the sale of stakes in the Gabal El Zeit farm and the 545-MW Zafarana wind farm. A number of local and foreign investors have shown interest in the two farms \u2014 Saudi Arabia\u2019s ACWA Power, the UAE\u2019s Alcazar Energy, UK-based private equity outfit Actis, and our friends at Egyptian renewables firm Infinity. <\/p>\n

Remember:<\/strong> Wataniya and the Gabal El Zeit wind farm are both on the government\u2019s list of 35 companies and assets earmarked for privatization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
