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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
