Project narrative
In 2012, the Bank of China (BOC) issued a €67.0 million EUR bilateral loan to Dalkia International S.A. — a French energy management company owned by Dalkia S.A.S., then majority-owned by French waste and water management company Veolia Environnement S.A. (75.80% equity stake) and by French state-owned utility Électricité de France S.A. (EDF) (24.14% equity stake) — for unspecified purposes.
Staff comments
1. Dalkia International at the time of the loan was implementing some projects in China; it is possible this BOC loan was supporting them. However, AidData saw no explicit information stating as such. This issue merits further investigation. 2. Veolia owned 66% of Dalkia S.A.S. in 2012, with EDF owning the remaining 33% stake.
