China New Energy has announced that Willsky Development, the company wholly owned subsidiary has entered into an equity purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding equity interest of Fuzhou Flying Dragon Zhongran Gas for approximately $ 3.8 mm.
The release said the purchase price is reportedly payable in three instalments based on the satisfaction of various mutually agreed upon closing conditions.

In November 2007, Fuzhou Zhongran obtained an exclusive operating license from the Dongxiang County government in Jiangxi Province for the construction and development of a natural gas pipeline network for 30 years.
Mr Yangkan Chong CEO of China New Energy said, "Our acquisition of Fuzhou Zhongran is another important step for our growth in Jiangxi Province, since we recently announced two other acquisitions in that province."

He said that there is increasing demand for natural gas from both residential and industrial users in Dongxiang County.
"In 2010, we plan to connect the Dongxiang regional gas pipeline network to a major national network."
