All YTLP solar farm and building Data center are awarded directly to YTL construction and source all building material from YTL cement and building material division
YTLP is assets owner with upfront acquire land cost and cover construction cost with banking borrowing. On the other hand, YTL construction and YTL cement and building material division under YTL corp are the builder and supplier to profit upfront in initial stage of construction and enjoy later once completed through subsidiary YTLP for recurring income.
"... Boustead Holdings is believed to be preparing to dispose of its interest in BPlant and had invited proposals on the sale of its stake two weeks ago.

According to the Singapore Energy Market Authority, the temporary price cap, the parameters of which will be in place until a review in the third quarter of 2025, will be tied to generation costs.
Under existing mechanisms, the energy price cap in place stood at S$4,500 (RM15,557) per megawatt-hour. The temporary price cap will see an average reduction in the Uniform Singapore Energy Price (USEP) by 3.6% to 8.1%, according to simulations published in the final determination on the mechanism that was released June 16.
The temporary price cap will see an average reduction in the Uniform Singapore Energy Price (USEP) by 3.6% to 8.1%.....These reduction will well cover back from just strengthening sgd currency by 4.5% Q1 RM 3.25 to Q2 RM 3.45
Singapore to end 3,000% power price spikes that sank companies Author: Tan KW Publish date: Mon, 19 Jun 2023, 6:13 PM
Singapore plans to more aggressively regulate electricity markets as price jumps intensify, again threatening to hurt the retailers that sell it to businesses and households.
The Energy Market Authority will cap wholesale power prices from July 1 using a formula tied to natural gas and generation costs, it said in a document on its website. That comes after they jumped as much as 3,000% this year despite sharp drops in the cost of liquefied natural gas (LNG), the nation’s main fuel.
The regulator has been consulting with industry players and utilities on the best way to mitigate the jumps, which two years ago led to the bankruptcy of a slew of independent retailers. The volatility has also made utilities reluctant to invest in more generation capacity that would alleviate shortages, according to the EMA.
Last month, prices reached as high as S$3,594 a megawatt-hour in daily trading after a power plant at Jurong Island shut for a turbine upgrade amid unusually hot weather. Meanwhile, the cost of LNG has fallen 86% since March 2022.
Singapore intends to launch a request for project proposals in the second half of this year, and has said it may step in to build the capacity itself. - Bloomberg
Hehe...not so sad anymore that I cashed out 2/3 of my 6-year stake in YTL...Compounding my joy 2day is my 2 month old stake in Great Eastern Hlgs in S'pore went above my entry of S$17.51...AFTER already collecting a 55c dividend =)
Temporary Price Cap (TPC) mechanism is needed to act as a “circuit breaker” to mitigate vicious cycle of sustained volatility and risk aversion in the SWEM and restore the orderly functioning of the broader market. The TPC mechanism is intended to act as a short-term measure to stop the vicious cycle of volatility and risk aversion, and allow time to identify and address the cause(s) of the extreme price volatility, by temporarily capping the USEP at a level lower than the existing Energy Price Cap. When activated in times of extreme price volatility, it will mitigate excessive risks to all SWEM participants including Gencos, retailers and consumers buying from the SWEM, while still allowing the USEP to fluctuate and reflect demand and supply conditions
a. All energy suppliers such as the Gencos will continue to submit energy offer prices up to the Energy Price Cap of $4,500/MWh. b. If the marginal energy offer price (i.e. the highest energy offer price needed to meet system demand) is below the TPC, the USEP will continue to be set based on the marginal energy offer price. If the marginal energy offer price is at or above the TPC, the USEP will be capped at the TPC
All in, YTL seraya and its retailer, Geneco, have very least affected as YTL locked retail selling price 28.9sen kwh ahead for 6 month - 2 year and any excess electricity sell to wholesale market for extra margin if wholesale market rate is higher than its locked its contract rate
TPC only affect in extreme cap level at 4500/MWh, a extreme PEAK hour, an outlier rate apply and cap at 4500/MWh or 4.5/KWh for only half an hour in each occasion, but these outlier, extreme high 4500/MWh now happening too many time in a day, have causing spike increase in final calculation for 24 hour average wholesale price.
The gov now trying is cap these extreme outlier time which fetch extreme high traffic rate at every half an hour occasion, limit these outlier in single day will decrease final 24 hour average wholesale price.
Currently, YTL seraya geneco selling only 28.9sen kwh for contract customer and selling 45sen kwh (450 MWh) in wholesale market rate.
Gov only cap TAC occasion for extreme outlier rate at 4500 MWh (only apply to half an hour for each occasion) to try to reduce 24 hour average wholesale market rate.
Currently, wholesale rate is 450 Mwh in April, already further spike up to 520 Mwh in month of May and likely in june as well
Singapore average wholesale electricity for 2023, wholesale price vs. retail contract selling price to customer by geneco) January - 219.13 MWh (21.9 sen kwh, lower than retail contract selling price) February - 222.53 MWh (22.2 sen kwh, lower than retail contract selling price) March - 337.77 (33.7sen, higher than retail contract selling price) April - 324.04 (32.4sen kwh, higher than retail contract selling price 28.9sen kwh) May - est 450 (45sen kwh, higher than retail contract selling price 28.9sen kwh) June - est 520 (52sen kwh, higher than retail contract selling price 28.9sen kwh
Remark: under Singapore free market, independent retailer or generation company with higher retailer demand than its own generation capacity are sourcing their energy suppy and shortfall power respectively, through wholesale market to profit the price difference between wholesale price and customer end user retail price. These business allow profit in time wholesale price is lower than retail price, and loss if verse versa.
Not even nine months pass. Malaysian expect result like instant Maggi Mee.
Everything want it easy and shortcut. Build them a wonderful road, you will see many illegal slip roads on both sides. From the top view it would appear like a centipede (lipan).
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
