DCC Energy Acquisition Activity
Since the Group's full year results announcement in May 2023, DCC Energy has committed approximately £160 million to five new acquisitions which support its strategy to build a leading energy management business and further expand its offering in the distribution of lower-carbon products:
· Centreco, a market-leading Solar PV and energy consultancy business in the UK, which services commercial and industrial customers nationally;
· Isolatiespecialist, a leading provider of energy efficiency and insulation services to domestic and commercial customers in the Netherlands;
· Solcellekraft, one of Norway's largest Solar PV businesses, servicing commercial and domestic customers;
· SLER40, a French Solar PV and heat pump business servicing domestic and commercial customers with design, installation, and maintenance services; and
· San Isabel Services Propane, a US propane distributor which services both domestic and commercial customers in Colorado.
The acquisitions are expected to deliver a mid-teen return on capital employed in their first full year of ownership.
Donal Murphy, Chief Executive of DCC plc, said today:
"We look forward to meeting with investors and analysts later today in Paris. It's an exciting time for DCC Energy as we showcase our energy strategy and provide detailed insight into the progress we are making. As set out in May 2023, DCC Energy plans to double its adjusted operating profit by 2030 and our strategy will significantly reduce our customers' carbon emissions. We are also announcing five new acquisitions today as we execute this strategy and accelerate the growth of our energy management services.
The world's need for cleaner energy presents a huge opportunity for DCC Energy and we are making it happen."
