With expanding contracts for regional power supply through its subsidiary Kalgoorlie Power Systems, Pacific Energy achieved record earnings for the 2010-11 financial year.
Perth-based Pacific Energy says it will settle its $77 million acquisition of Kalgoorlie Power Systems in less than a fortnight after it received commitments for a $98 million funding package.
Perth-based Pacific Energy will pay $77 million in cash and scrip to acquire Kalgoorlie Power Systems, which owns a suite of power stations in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
