Sembcorp's utilities segment in Singapore predicted to drop 10%

But here's a bit of good news.

According to CIMB, it expects a 10% yoy dip in Sembcorp Singapore utilities’ profit for FY13 and a flat growth in FY14.

Here's more:

However, upside can come from 1) the new Bayan cogen (400MW) plant contributing to capacity despatch and profit by 1Q14; and 2) favourable CFDs for bilateral contracts out of the wholesale market (30% of SCI’s power sale).

Stripping the S$8m one-off effects of the strategic fuel sale and settlement for CFDs, Singapore’s net profit of S$61m can be sustained going forward as it has taken the impact of the 15% dip in power prices.

Assuming no significant retreat in power prices, we can see Singapore utilities’ net profit growing by 3% to S$244m in FY14. This is still not including the additional capacity from its 400MW Bayan cogen plant that will be available by 1Q14.

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.
