“The sale of GHR will simplify the structure of SAE, enable management to focus on developing the tidal and power station conversion businesses, and bring in necessary additional funding to support continuing Group operations and the development of key projects,” explained Simec Atlantis.
They added that their projects are critical to the UK and the rest of the world after the refreshed focus on the delivery of renewable and sustainable power generation and the commitment to the phasing down of coal following COP 26, the climate change conference.
At the time of writing, Simec Atlantis shares are down 2.14%.
