Keppel Corp, consortium, to raise stake in Cleantech solar assets

Increased stake will speed up Keppel’s growth in renewable business.

Infrastructure firm, Keppel Corporation, and Keppel Capital consortium will increase their stake in the assets of renewable energy supplier, Cleantech Solar Asia Pte Ltd (CSA), for $157m (US$115m) to accelerate their growth in renewable business.

Keppel Corporation said in a statement that it will acquire the remaining 50% interest in CSA, following the corporation, Keppel Asia Infrastructure Fund LP (KAIF) and a coinvestor of KAIF’s December 2021 acquisition of 51% stake in Cleantech Renewable Assets Pte Ltd (CRA), which owns 50% of CSA.

With this, Keppel Corporation’s collective effective stake in CSA, CRA’s asset firm, increased from 25.5% to 75.5%, post transaction.

The acquisition of 50% stake in CSA will be completed after the CRA transaction has been finalised and certain other customary conditions including regulatory and other approvals. Keppel Corporation expects the transaction to close in the first half of 2022.

This transaction is not expected to have any material impact on the earnings per share and net tangible asset per share of Keppel Corporation for the financial year ending 31 December 2022.

Keppel acquisition

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
