Key outcomes include a 21% increase in average household bills against PR19 levels, compared to a prior draft decision that suggested a 12% reduction.

Total expenditure was revised upward by 14% from the draft determination, representing a 68% increase from PR19.

Allowable return was raised to 4.03%, significantly higher than the PR19 rate of 2.92%.

These adjustments are projected to drive a 35.9% growth in Wessex Water’s regulatory capital value over the five-year period, sustaining long-term returns.

@Aero1, USEP is not a good guide to PowerSeraya profits. I have explained few times on this, and do not mind saying it again here.

All gencos in Singapore operate in a vertical integrated business model in which each owns generating plants and also retails arm to sell electricity to end consumers. All electricity generated by each genco needs to be sold first to the wholesale electricity pool which clears the electricity price on half-an-hour basis based on supply and demand. That sets the USEP.

Each retails electricity company has to purchase electricity from the wholesale pool then only sell to their end consumers. So retailers pay the USEP, and gencos get paid the USEP.

In the vertical integrated structure, a power company in Singapore like PowerSeraya enters into contracts for differences (CfDs) with its own retails arm for the electricity the power arm generates, hence taking out the risks associated with the price fluctuations in the pool.

As an illustration, say a genco sells 100 MWh of electricity into the pool in the half-an-hour period from 9.00am-9.30am at an USEP price of S$120/MWh, then its retails arm buys 100MWh of electricity from the pool at also S$120/MWh.

But S$120/MWh pool price is below the generating cost of the power company at say S$150/MWh, so in order to protect its generating margin, the power company enters into a CfD with its own retails arm to sell the 100MWh of electricity at say S$210/MWh, i.e. the retails arm will pay the difference in CfD price and the pool price to the generating company, S$210-$120 = S$90/MWh to the power generating company so that effectively the power generating company will get a net selling price of S$210/MWh irrespective of the pool price, and earn a gross generating margin of S$210 - S$150 = S$60/MWh.

Then the retails arm will sell the electricity to end users at say S$215/MWh to take a small retails margin of S$5/MWh.

As an vertical integrated power group, the genco effectively earn S$60/MWh (gross generating margin) + S$5/MWh (retails margin) = S$65/MWh of total gross margin.

Hope this explains the situation in real business on the ground.

YTL Power delivered a credible set of results for Q1 FY2025, with core net profit of RM803 million, after removing the extraordinary item of a forex loss of RM293m for a shareholder loan to the Jordan Power project entity.

This forex loss shall be reversed in this quarter Q2 if ringgit continues to be weak against the US dollar and closes at anything weaker than RM4.12 as of 30 September 2024. If based on the current rate of RM4.48, the potential forex gain to be booked in Q2 will be RM210 million.

So, the core net profit is within my earlier projected range of RM800-850 million. It was at the lower end as Yes 5G turned into a small loss again after turning around in Q4 FY2024. I expect YTLP to deliver such steady net profit of RM800-850m every quarter in Q2 and Q3 FY2025 before AI data centre earnings start to kick in.

UK water companies will be allowed to invest billions more, Bloomberg reports

https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/730236
THE competition for an urban mobility infrastructure project to serve the southern Johor region is set to intensify as telecommunications and technology company, Theta Edge Bhd (KL:THETA), has switched over to a rival consortium. This move strengthens the grouping consisting of LBS Bina Bhd (KL:LBS), Ancom Nylex Bhd (KL:ANCOMNY), Sinar Bina Infra Sdn Bhd and BTS Group Holdings pcl, according to some quarters.

The addition of Theta Edge is expected to allow the consortium to compete more effectively against a rival group made up of YTL Power International Bhd (KL:YTLPOWR), SIPP Rail Sdn Bhd, Mobilus Sdn Bhd and Lion Pacific Sdn Bhd.

Previously, the YTLP–SIPP–Mobilus–Lion Pacific consortium was perceived to have the upper hand as it had proposed an automated rapid transit (ART) system for the Greater Johor Bahru region that was “preferred” by the state government.

YTLP and partners can win?

Water bills will go up by more than previously thought over the next five years, to fund higher costs and more investment, the BBC understands.

The regulator, Ofwat, is in the process of deciding how much customer bills will be allowed to rise.

You, a rube, might think that Nvidia is a big fat bubble, given that it’s worth almost as much as the entire UK stock market, trades at over 40 times next year’s forecasted earnings and even has its own earnings parties, spivvy support act and a monstrous options ecosystem.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/oct/15/water-firms-england-wales-appeal-ofwat-cma
Water companies are “laying the groundwork” to appeal against Ofwat’s decision to rein in how much they can increase customers’ bills, according to a leading credit rating agency.

Moody’s said in a report on the water industry that it expected the companies to take the water regulator’s final ruling on bill rises to the competition watchdog for reconsideration if expectations for returns on investment did not improve.

Companies in England and Wales requested to spend a total of £104.5bn by raising bills by £144 over the next five years in their submissions to Ofwat’s price review process, but in July the regulator provisionally only allowed them £88bn, capping the increases at £94.

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 26): Malaysia is now more selective in choosing foreign direct investment, with a focus on projects that would greatly benefit the country, especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and data technology, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said the opening of a data centre that used to depend on cheap energy and water to move and cool the operating system is now no longer sufficient.

"Now, if you want to [establish] a data centre, you must have AI,” he said, referring to projects like Nvidia's in Johor.
