Keppel Infrastructure, Jinko Power ink deal to explore solar farm, energy storage investment

Jinko will identify 1,000MW projects in its pipeline that Keppel can invest in.

Keppel Infrastructure Fund Management Pte Ltd (KIFM), trustee-manager of Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT), and solar power producer Jinko Power signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding for the exploration of opportunities for solar farm and energy storage investments.

Under the memo, Jinko will identify up to 1,000 megawatts of solar farm and energy storage projects in its assets pipeline which KIT can potentially invest in.

“Each of these assets will be in jurisdictions that meet KIT’s investment criteria, in key developed markets of Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East,” KIT said in a statement.

KIT and Jinko will enter separate investment deals to acquire and hold the respective assets through special purpose vehicles, it added.

“This forms a foundational pillar of KIT’s Energy Transition portfolio, and is a strategic focus of our ESG commitment to support communities by contributing to decarbonisation and providing greener energy sources,” KIFM CEO Jopy Chang said.

The memo signing is not expected to have any material impact on the distribution per unit of KIT for the financial year ending on 31 December 2022.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. 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.
