Companhia de Electricidade de Macau – CEM, S.A. known simply as CEM or Chinese: 澳電 is a private public utility company with a sole concession to transmit, distribute, sell high, medium and low voltage of electricity in Macau. Besides, CEM owns an installed generation capacity of 472 MW.

History

From 1906 to 1972, the electricity supply service was managed by the "Macao Electric Lighting Company Ltd." (now Melco International Development), which had its headquarters in British Hong Kong. In 1972, due to non-fulfilment of its concession contract with the former Portuguese administration, the company was replaced by CEM.

CEM was restructured with the former Portuguese administration's support in 1982. In 1985, CEM signed the 25-year concession contract. It has since scored achievements in the areas of cost-effectiveness and technology.

In November 2010, the Government of Macau and CEM signed the Power Supply Contract Extension for 15 years. The new contract terms came into effect on 1 December 2010.

Shareholders

Before 1987, the largest shareholder of CEM was the Government of Macau. But ever since that, the government had been reducing its share until the current 8%.[1] Shares of CEM are currently owned by Sino-French Energy Development (42%), Energy Asia Consultancy (21%), Polytech Industrial (11%), Asiainvest - Investments (10%), China Power International Holding (6%), Government of Macau (8%),[2] and other 800 local shareholders (2%)

It was reported that Sino-French Energy Development was majority owned by listed companies NWS Holdings and Suez Environnement; in 2014 NWS Holdings and Suez Environnement sold 90% stake in Sino French Energy Development to Chinese state-owned enterprise Nam Kwong Development; the remaining 10% stake of Sino-French Energy Development was owned by Hong Kong-Macau billionaire Stanley Ho.[3]

Chinese Central government also owned the parent company of China Power International Holding, State Power Investment Corporation (ex-China Power Investment Corporation).
