Sembcorp ink deal to increase stake in Senoko

The acquisition will expand both companies’ sustainable energy capabilities.

Sembcorp Industries (Sembcorp) has signed a sale and purchase agreement that will increase its interest in Senoko Energy Pte. Ltd. (Senoko Energy) to a maximum of 70%.

In a bourse filing, Sembcorp said the deal was signed by its wholly owned subsidiary Sembcorp Utilities Pte Ltd with KPIC Netherlands B.V., Kyuden International Corporation, and Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC).

The agreement states that Sembcorp will acquire up to 57.1% interest in Lion Power (2008) Pte. Ltd., which holds a 70% interest in Senoko Energy.

Following the completion of the acquisition, Sembcorp will increase its stake, subject to pre-emption by Marubeni Corporation in Lion Power. It is also seen to “open more opportunities for Sembcorp and Senoko Energy to drive energy transition and deliver sustainable and reliable energy to its customers and Singapore.”

The maximum purchase consideration for the proposed acquisition is $144m to be funded through Sembcorp’s internal cash resources and/or external borrowings.

The acquisition is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025.

The Energy Market Authority of Singapore has reviewed the proposed takeover and has expressed no objections.

This transaction is in the ordinary course of business. It is expected to be accretive to the earnings of Sembcorp and would not have a material impact on its net tangible assets per share for the financial year ending 31 December 2025.

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.
