Taqa puts brake on 3 years of spending

The Abu Dhabi National Energy Company, or Taqa, announced a major change in strategy yesterday as profits disappointed investors just weeks after the company replaced its most senior executive.

Having spent three years on a US$24 billion (Dh88.15bn) global spending spree, the government-controlled company will now concentrate on existing operations and reduce debt.

“We will shift our focus from growth by step-out M and A [mergers and acquisitions] to organic growth from our existing assets,” Carl Sheldon, the newly appointed general manager of Taqa, said yesterday, laying out his plan to turn the company around. “We’ve now got a suite of internal investment opportunities that will allow us to grow the business without further acquisitions.”
