The Aussie firm says it has not received any offers to acquire Liddell Power Station.

AGL Energy Limited (AGL) notes media reports this morning that AGL has received an offer from Alinta Energy to acquire the Liddell Power Station.

At this stage, AGL has not received any offer from Alinta.

AGL has sought clarification from Alinta in relation to the media reports. Alinta has advised that its offer will be submitted later today. AGL will provide further updates to the market as appropriate.
