Sembcorp, Aster sign $650m deals for utilities support in Southeast Asia

Sembcorp will provide integrated gas, power, and utilities services to Aster’s refining and chemical facilities.

Sembcorp Industries and Aster Chemicals and Energy have signed commercial agreements valued at over $650m to support energy and utilities operations in Southeast Asia.

Under the agreements, Sembcorp will provide integrated gas, power, and utilities services to Aster’s refining and chemical facilities on Pulau Bukom and Jurong Island.

In addition, both companies signed a six-month memorandum of understanding to explore further collaboration in the region.

Areas identified for potential cooperation include cogeneration and utilities projects, regional gas procurement, joint infrastructure investments, and the development of industrial parks in Indonesia.

Sembcorp stated that the agreements are not expected to have a material impact on its earnings per share or net tangible assets per share for the financial year ending 31 December 2025.

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.
