Sembcorp Industries to boost cogen plant capacity by 400MW

But it warns of intensified competition in Singapore.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, SCI would add new capacity of 400MW to its cogen plant by Dec 2013. However it warns that with the completion of the LNG terminal in 2013 and addition of

2,400MW of new power generation capacity in Singapore over 2013 and 2014 would intensify competition, resulting in lower power prices.

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

We thus expect at more moderate FY13F Utilities net margin of 6.3% (vs 7.2% for 1Q13) for the Utilities segment The long term value in SCI is the pipeline of utilities projects, scheduled to come onstream over 2013-2016.

These are progressing well and would add to its recurring revenue base, lending more stability to its income stream.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
