Sembcorp nabs 22-year power purchase deal in Myanmar

It will supply 225 megawatts of power to MEPE.

Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) and Myanmar Electric Power Enterprise (MEPE) have sealed the deal a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) for 225 megawatts of power for a period of 22 years.

According to Sembcorp’s press release, the power to be supplied will be produced by Sembcorp’s upcoming power project in Myingyan, Mandalay.

The PPA will come into effect upon the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent including the execution by Myanmar’s Ministry of Electric Power (MOEP) of the build-own-transfer agreement for the project.

Pursuant to the deal, MOEP agrees to provide all support for the implementation of the project and guarantees MEPE’s payment obligations under the PPA.

Sembcorp asserts it does not expect to have a material impact on the company’s earnings per share and net asset value per share.

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.
