We are witnessing rigged football live on TV. Extra minute played beyond added time in the first half for the red card. Extra time played in the second half so City could equalise.

We are pleased to announce the acquisition of Mountain Creek power plant in Texas alongside our joint-venture partner Frontier Group of Companies.

The 808MW steam turbine gas-fired plant, located close to Dallas and operating within the Texan ERCOT power system, provides a flexible source of electricity during periods of high demand.

The acquisition not only presents an opportunity to strengthen our gas and power business in the US but the 1,500 acre site, with existing grid infrastructure, also offers potential future development opportunities that can contribute to regional energy security, low carbon power solutions, or additional flexible power production.

We’re pleased to announce that our new consortium “Rhone Energies”, formed with refinery operator Entara LLC, has entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire Esso’s Fos-sur-Mer refinery and the Toulouse and Villette de Vienne terminals.

Rhône Energies brings together the strengths of Entara, established by former executives of Crossbridge Energy who have a track record of managing and optimising refinery assets, including at the Frederica refinery in Denmark, with @trafigura expertise in energy and commodities.

Entara will manage the Fos-sur-Mer asset, overseeing operations, maintenance, asset integrity, commercial, health, safety and environmental performance.

“We would be delighted to acquire and assume stewardship of the Esso’s Fos-sur-Mer refinery operations and look forward to engaging with the operational management, employee representatives and government stakeholders over the coming weeks and months to confirm our commitment to the operation and our plans for the future,” said Entara’s CEO, Nicholas Myerson.

Ben Luckock, Trafigura's Global Head of Oil said: “The refinery will continue to be an important contributor to energy security in the region and would benefit from Trafigura’s global trading and logistics network. Oil and petroleum products will continue to play an important role in supporting growing global energy demand during the transition currently underway to a low-carbon economy.”
