Bloomberg Acquires Clean Energy Data Leader New Energy Finance

New York and London (ots/PRNewswire)

- Combination will Provide Transparency to Carbon and Clean
Energy   Markets for Investors and Industry
Bloomberg L.P., the world's most trusted source of data, news,
analytic and trading tools for businesses and financial
professionals, has acquired New Energy Finance, a global leader in
providing news, data and analysis on renewable energy, carbon
markets, energy efficiency, biofuels, carbon capture and storage, and
nuclear power.
"This acquisition is the next step in Bloomberg's initiative to
develop and promote the carbon and clean energy markets," said Peter
T. Grauer, chairman of Bloomberg. "Carbon and clean energy issues
touch every segment of the global economy, and are of increasing
importance to our customers. Bloomberg's vision is to be the leader
in information, analytics and trading architectures to support
low-carbon energy solutions.
"The BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL(R) service provides robust
functionality for traditional energy and commodities markets and is
breaking new ground to support carbon and clean energy. The
combination of Bloomberg and New Energy Finance creates a unique
opportunity to shape the future of this growing market and impact the
planet in a positive way," Grauer said.
Bloomberg President Daniel L. Doctoroff said, "Bloomberg is the
leader in gathering large amounts of complex data and utilizing
sophisticated analytics to transform it into actionable intelligence.
The acquisition of New Energy Finance allows us to leverage these
core skills and deliver transparency to the very dynamic carbon and
clean energy markets.
"Bloomberg's analytic, news, trading and display capabilities
enable us to create essential tools for the emerging clean energy and
carbon investment community," Doctoroff noted. "New Energy Finance's
unparalleled data and market knowledge, together with Bloomberg's
unmatched analytics, will add even greater value to the BLOOMBERG
PROFESSIONAL service and open new opportunities for energy market
participants."
"Clean energy and carbon investment will generate significant
demand for information, research and analysis over the next decade,"
said Beth Mazzeo, head of global data at Bloomberg. "New Energy
Finance and Bloomberg have complementary expertise and data that will
help set new standards, increase market liquidity and provide our
customers with incomparable investment tools to establish a global
framework for these markets."
New Energy Finance was founded in 2004 and serves banking,
private equity and venture capital investors, asset managers,
manufacturers, oil and gas companies, utilities, NGOs, development
banks and governments. New Energy Finance's services include Insight,
Industry Intelligence (the world's largest database of clean energy
investors, projects and deals), News & Briefing and advisory. They
are used around the world by leading decision-makers to support their
investment and operating strategies.
"The thesis behind New Energy Finance is that we are seeing a
fundamental re-engineering of the world's energy industry around
low-carbon architectures, which will take decades, cost trillions of
dollars and require the creation of new market instruments. It will
also, of course, require investment-grade information and analysis.
Tying up with Bloomberg will enable us to maintain the market
leadership position we have established, developing new services of
great sophistication for our clients as the clean energy and carbon
markets grow rapidly and become an important part of mainstream
investing," said Michael Liebreich, chairman and CEO of New Energy
Finance. "I am particularly pleased to be announcing the deal just as
the international negotiations in Copenhagen get under way."
Guy Turner, director of carbon market research at New Energy
Finance, said, "Global carbon markets are here to stay. This year
will see trading volume of around US$120 billion, and we expect this
figure to grow to approximately US$2 trillion by 2020. New Energy
Finance's carbon market models are the most trusted in the world, and
working with Bloomberg we will be able to get them where they are
needed - into the hands of traders and other market players."
"New Energy Finance serves leading financial service providers
and major corporations active in clean energy and carbon, and works
closely with the World Economic Forum, the UN and a growing number of
governments around the world. The link with Bloomberg will enable us
to extend our reach far beyond our current client base, using the
resources offered by the world's leading provider of financial
information," said Jon Moore, commercial director and deputy chief
executive of New Energy Finance.
