What can we expect from Sembcorp Industries’ renewables acquisition?

The firm will see long-term growth and stability in its portfolio.

Sembcorp Industries recently announced two acquisitions of renewable energy from China and India, possibly giving long-term growth and stability in its portfolio, UOBKayHian said in its report.

With regards to  its China acquisition, Sembcorp Industries is acquiring three solar projects with Beijing Energy International, wholly-owned by China’s State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council.

“With this strong partner, SCI appears well placed to continue its long-term growth in China,” said UOBKayHian.

In addition, the project’s proximity to Beijing “means that no coal power plants can be set up due to pollution concerns and thus curtailment risk is very low.”

It is also diversifying its renewables portfolio in India, with the acquisition of 100% equity interest in Vector Green Energy, which owns a portfolio of solar and wind assets.

“The acquisition will be funded through internal cash resources and external borrowings with expected completion in the first quarter of 2023.

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.
