The latest contract is for the supply, construction, commissioning and completion of the civil work for the development of 3x5 megawatt (MW) Nam Taep 1 and 3x5MW Nam Taep 2 hydropower energy generating facilities.
--->>> NT already awarded the 3x5 megawatt (MW) Nam Taep 1 and 3x5MW Nam Taep 2 hydropower project to Serba for US$66.2 million in July 2018
--->>> Zhenghong Building Road & Bridge Construction Co Ltd is now awarding the same project to KPowernet for US$40.7mil?!
In July 2018, Serba got awarded a USD66.2M project by "NT" for the 3x5MW Nam Taep 1 and 3x5MW Nam Taep 2 hydropower energy facility
In June 2020, KPower announced the award by Zhenghong Building Road & Bridge Construction Co Ltd for the 3x5 megawatt (MW) Nam Taep 1 and 3x5MW Nam Taep 2 hydropower energy generating facilities
Question: How can Zhenghong award the same project to KPowernet for US$40.7mil in June 2020, when NT already awarded the project to Serba for USD66.2M in July 2018?
Question: Has NT terminated the contract that was previously signed with Serba?
Nam Samoy Hydropower Co. Ltd. was already listed at the developer of the Nam Samoy project that was intended to qualify as a CDM project in a 2014.
Question: How can Zhenghong award the same project to KPower in Feb 2020?
Question: Is there any evidence to show that Zhenghong has signed PPAs with Électricité du Laos for both projects?
Question: Since Fitch has downgraded Laos country rating to CCC, how are the projects going to be funded?

--- TERMS ---
---> Even before commencement of those projects, there is already a mismatch between deposits received and performance bond requirements.
a) Cabaran Hijau Sdn. Bhd. (“CHSB”) Project: 18.7 MW mini hydro power plant Location: Sg. Jelai Kecil, Mukim Jelai, Daerah Lipis, Pahang Darul Makmur Contract Price: RM199,159,192.83 (“Project 1”) (“LOA 1”);
>>> CHSB's deposit to KPEng = RM10.000M >>> KPEng Bond to CHSN = RM19.9159M
b) Selat Serasi Sdn. Bhd. (“SSSB”) Project: 13.9 MW mini hydro power plant Location: Sg. Telom, Mukim Hulu Telom, Cameron Highland, Pahang Darul Makmur Contract Price: RM148,038,116.59 (“Project 2”) (“LOA 2”);
>>> SSSB's deposit to KPEng = RM10.000M >>> KPEng Bond to SSSB = RM14.8038M
c) Denai Delima Sdn. Bhd. (“DDSB”) Project: 12 MW mini hydro power plant Location: Location: Sg. Lemoi, Mukim Hulu Telom, Cameron Highland, Pahang Darul Makmur Contract Price: Contract Price: RM127,802,690.58 (“Project 3”) (“LOA 3”)
>>> DDSB's deposit to KPEng = RM10.000M >>> KPEng Bond to DDSB = RM12.7803M
>>> KMSB's deposit to KPEng = RM3.5M >>> KPEng Bond to KMSB = RM3.5M
---> Those four projects, to be built by KPower, will cost OHP Ventures Sdn Bhd RM510M and, when completed, will have a total power generation capacity of 49.25MW
---> At 28.98 sen per kilowatt-hour, the potential revenue for OHP will only be able to cover interest payments and maintenance. And as such, funding will be a question mark
---> If OHP Ventures is unable to obtain fundings, KPower will indirectly be funding those projects
---> KPower's Receivables went from RM46.056M in June 2020 to RM149.791M in June 2021 and to RM161,013M in Sep 2021
---> KPower's Borrowings went from RM0.565M in June 2020 to RM52.384M in June 2021 and to RM37,579M in Sep 2021
---> Does the clause, for CHSB, SSSB, DDSB and KMSB to be allowed to assign or novate the rights and/or benefits, imply that they can just novate the rights and or/benefits but not the liabilities? If so, does it mean the RM161.013M of receivables will be at risk?
---> Mustakim Bin Mat Nun and Amirul Afif Bin Abd Aziz are the CEO and CFO of KPower respectively. They are also Directors of the Client Project Companies. Clearly, conflict of interests have arisen. Was a shareholders meeting ever convened and voted on the conflict of interests issue?
Those project is fake, I doubt they have skill, manpower and cash to finish the project, all is talking, can terminated anytime as they like. At least could cheat investor they could do something big to push up the shares price
Jaks resources building one power plant need 2 years also not yet finished, at least they show you pictures the progress and the building they built. This shoplot Kpower every quarter announced winning power plant job awards, booming like mushrooms across the globe, 1 unit also haven't started to build yet.
And just like SCIB, all of a sudden KPower's profit fell down hard ever since SD has audit issues, whereas all three of them recorded crazy profits during the MCO before that.

Many innocents were attracted with similar companies like KPower. May be they expect the company can do magic within a very short time. Very surprised that many had chosen to ignore well tested companies that also participate in green energy space for already some time. May be this is a good lesson for us not speculate blindly with full emotion and ignoring the likely reality on the ground. Even if we had chosen to use only our common sense, we would likely start questioning how can this company suddenly got so many contracts all over the places within such a very short time period?
Someone share kpower projects and doubt that they have the ability to do it. If you have wisdom there are ways you can do. Subcontract and as long as the contractor have the knowledge and skills, then should ok.
