Bangladesh-owned power firm injects $17.07m in Sembcorp North-West Power Company

This is funding the ongoing construction of the Sirajganj Unit 4 power plant.

Sembcorp Industries' (Sembcorp) project company Sembcorp North-West Power Company has received a $17.07m (US$12.8m) investment from Bangladesh's power generation company North-West Power Generation Company (NWPGC). The company is developing the Sirajganj Unit 4 power project in Bangladesh.

According to an announcement, NWPGC has taken up a 17% stake in Sembcorp North-West Power Company, with the remaining 83% effectively owned by Sembcorp.

"NWPGC’s equity injection was made at par value of the shares, in accordance with a shareholders’ agreement between NWPGC and Sembcorp’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sembcorp Utilities. This sum would go towards funding the ongoing construction of the Sirajganj Unit 4 power plant," Sembcorp said.

The company noted that NWPGC plans to make further equity injection(s) by the end of this year, which will result in Sembcorp North-West Power Company being 71% owned by Sembcorp and 29% by NWPGC.

We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
