Sembcorp faces delay in 49 MW hydropower asset acquisition

The company ensures the exercise of discipline in assessing upcoming investments.

Sembcorp’s acquisition of a 49 megawatt (MW) hydropower asset has been delayed, as the company awaits government approval for the deal.

In a bourse filing, Sembcorp said its wholly-owned subsidiary Sembcorp Solar Vietnam Pte Ltd. expects to receive the necessary approvals by the end of 2025.

The deal is part of a 245 MW renewable energy portfolio Sembcorp is acquiring in Vietnam.

“For new investments in the country, Sembcorp will continue to exercise discipline in assessment, taking into consideration the regulatory uncertainties,” the company said.

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.
