Kuala Lumpur, Wednesday, 25 March 2020 – Kejuruteraan Asastera Berhad (“KAB” or “the Group”) has entered into a heads of agreement with Invest Energy Sdn Bhd to acquire 80% ownership in two companies, for a total consideration of RM7.26 million.
Konpro Industries Sdn. Bhd. is the holding company of a 2 MW waste heat recovery facility located in Siliau, while Meru One Sdn. Bhd. is the holding company of a 2 MW cogeneration facility located in Kapar. These acquisitions will increase the Group’s portfolio of carbon efficient energy generation assets to a total of 5.5MW.
Cogeneration (also known as combined heat and power) is the sequential production of power and the recovery of heat from a single primary fuel source. Meanwhile, waste heat recovery plants recover waste heat from a facility’s existing processes to generate electricity. These plants have applications in many industries and are widely used in developed countries due to their energy efficient nature. Both plants, constructed under a build, operate and transfer contract, are currently operational and are already generating revenue. Over the course of the maximum 10-year concessional period, these plants are projected to contribute a total of RM104 million revenue from the generation of an estimated 284,680 MWh of electricity. As with the previous acquisition, these projects, with higher gross margins and recurring income streams, are expected to increase the Group’s overall profitability and earnings visibility.
Echoing the previous announcements, Dato’ Lai Keng Onn believes that the Group’s strategic move into more carbon efficient and sustainable energy generation solves the national and global need for cleaner energy sources. This is especially so for waste heat recovery plants, where energy that is normally wasted and radiated into the atmosphere is captured and used again to power the facilities.
Dato’ Lai reiterates, “We believe that many industrial companies, like metal smelters and food producers, with high energy requirements will be able to benefit from waste heat recovery projects and cogeneration arrangements. There is tremendous market potential for us to move ahead in this space. The group will benefit from recurring and profitable income sources, while also doing our small part to help fight climate change”
busy complying with listing requirements for mainboard? if they're to be added there's A LOT for them to do before that. Hence the quiet before the storm?
This is a great company, is under radar due to ACE not main board.. Fundamental so Strongg , price is so undervalue. Electrical, Solar, Information, communication and solution, this the future
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....
