In the Australian it was reported "Telstra eyes Meridian Energy. Telstra is believed to be considering an acquisition of Meridian Energy’s Australian business."Meridian owns Powershop which has 140,000 electricity customers and 40,000 gas customers. Meridian's other Australian assets are 294 megawatts of renewable generation capacity and 150MW of renewable development opportunities. Estimate is $1bn to acquire.The head of Telstra Energy is Ben Burge, who used to be the CEO of Powershop from 2012 - 2014. If Telstra is successful, this would be similar to Gail Kelly moving from St George to Westpac and then Westpac buying St George and bringing it under the umbrella.Telstra's stock price has jumped, just on reporting of this potential diversification.
