ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) signed an agreement on December 31, 2020 to sell its entire equity interest in the 1,242 MW Mong Duong 2 coal-fired power plant in Vietnam to a consortium led by a US-based investor. This transaction is expected to close in late 2021 or early 2022, subject to customary approvals, including from the Government of Vietnam and the minority partners in Mong Duong 2.
"We have had a very positive experience in developing, building and owning Mong Duong 2 and Vietnam remains an important growth market for AES, where we look forward to contributing to the country's transition to a more sustainable energy future," said Andrés Gluski, AES President and Chief Executive Officer. "In line with our global strategy to invest in renewables and LNG infrastructure, in Vietnam we continue to make good progress on the development of the 450 TBTU Son My LNG terminal with PetroVietnam (PVN) and the 2,250 MW Son My 2 combined cycle gas power plant."
AES owns a 51% equity interest in Mong Duong 2, Posco Energy Company Limited owns 30% and Stable Investment Corporation, a subsidiary of China Investment Corporation, owns the remaining 19%. The construction of Mong Duong 2 was completed in 2015 under a Build-Own-Transfer (BOT) contract, with a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Vietnam Electricity (EVN), a state-owned utility.
Hard depresssed from 0.72 from Desperado Sellers from 0.72...very obvious selling presssure . Good opportunity to collect low ...Today will be the day for a rebound insight...keeping finger crossed
With completion of power plant and no more construction accounting profit from power plant very soon will know what will be the rest of business revenue and profit and also share of profit from associate company power generation.
Why sell now when the COD is around the corner !! It is like a girl going for abortion after 8 months of pregnant. Probably a bad analogy but the fact is one should be buying not selling now.
Today all big crocs busy hoot health care counters to earn money from short sellers where got time to layan Jaks? Wait abit lah, be patient, got bullet buy low loh. hahaah
