Singapore Power Ltd. plans to join
Babcock & Brown Ltd. in a A$9 billion ($7 billion) bid for Alinta
Ltd., Australia's biggest energy transmission company, said three
people familiar with the transaction.
Singapore Power and Sydney-based Babcock may submit their
offer for Perth-based Alinta on March 12, said the people, asking
not to be identified before an official announcement. Banks were
invited to lend state-run Singapore Power's half of the bid
amount, they said. Babcock will get loans for its portion in
Australia. Alinta shares jumped 4.5 percent.
