The Company has made the required notifications to insurance companies, and the damage claim process has been initiated.

The Company projects that this unexpected technical failure may affect the dividend for the year ending 31 December 2017.

Singapore: Arqaam Capital exits Sembcorp Salalah venture in trade sale to Oman state fund

All day

BDCC Investment Company (BDCC), a special purpose vehicle that is wholly-owned by an infrastructure fund currently managed by Arqaam Capital, has sold its equity interest in Sembcorp Salalah Power and Water Company (SSPWC) in a trade sale transaction to the Diwan of Royal Court Pension Fund, the state fund of the Sultanate of Oman. BDCC invested in SSPWC in late 2011, during its construction phase. This investment was part of the infrastructure fund’s strategy to create a balanced portfolio across brownfield and greenfield assets.This was meant to align the risk and return profiles with extant investment policy. Suhail Hajee, head of the infrastructure asset management division at Arqaam, commented on the exit: “We are pleased to have played an instrumental role alongside our fellow founding shareholders and the management team of SSPWC in shaping the success story of the company. SSPWC has been a great investment for us and we believe it will continue to be so in the future.” Power and water demands are expected to increase in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA), due to sustained economic growth, an expanding population and high levels of electricity and water being consumed domestically, relative to other regions. Dennis Wijsmuller, COO of Arqaam Capital, said, “With governments across the region increasingly encouraging an active role of the private sector in infrastructure investments, Arqaam is well positioned to continue playing a major role in this important asset class.” He added, “This milestone validates the infrastructure asset management team’s ability to achieve returns for our investors throughout the full investment cycle having sourced the investment in 2011, exited partially via an IPO in 2013 and completed a full trade sale in 2015.” In commercial operations since May 2012, it is the largest and most energy-efficient power and water plant in the Dhofar Governorate in Oman. With a net power capacity of a 489 MW and water capacity of 15 million imperial gallons daily, the facility currently supplies more than 70 per cent of the power dispatch and 100 per cent of the net installed desalinated water capacity of the Dhofar Governorate.

•	Sembcorp Salalah is currently 60% owned by Sembcorp Utilities, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore-based Sembcorp Industries, 35% owned by Oman Investment Corporation (OIC) and 5% owned by BDCC Investment Company, which is managed by Instrata.

Business Highlights: Strong predictability of stable cash flows:

•	Sembcorp Salalah has strong predictability of cash flows that are not affected by the amount of power and water actually required by OPWP as the Company is paid on an availability basis, based on the power and water that is made available.

•	Under the PWPA, Sembcorp Salalah is entitled to receive capacity charges from OPWP for 100% of the available power and water capacity of the plant, which comprise approximately 90% of the total revenue of Sembcorp Salalah. These capacity charges are payable by OPWP regardless of whether the actual output of the plant is dispatched by OPWP.

Well-established contractual framework:

•	Sembcorp Salalah’s project represents one of 12 independent power and/or water production projects to be implemented by the government through OPWP on a “build, own and operate” basis and benefits from a well-established contractual framework.

Strong government support and stable revenues due to the strategic importance of both the industry and project:

•	The power and water sectors are of high strategic importance to the Dhofar Governorate and Oman as a whole. As of July 2013, the plant’s capacity constitutes approximately 72% of the power dispatch and 100% of the net installed water capacity of the Dhofar Governorate.

•	Given the projected growth in electricity and water demand, the plant is expected to remain critical to the continued supply of power and water in the Dhofar Governorate in the long term.

Fully operational project with minimal operating risk:

•

The plant is completed and has been in full commercial operation for over 14 months. In addition, Sembcorp Salalah benefits from minimal operating risk as its operator, Sembcorp Salalah O&M Services Company (Sembcorp Salalah O&M), is a joint venture indirectly owned by the Project Sponsors, Sembcorp Utilities and OIC, creating an alignment of interests which ensures that the plant is operated efficiently. Sembcorp Salalah O&M is managed locally and benefits from the procedures and expertise of Sembcorp Utilities, which is well established and has a demonstrated track record of running similar plants across the continents, with facilities of over 5,900 MW of power capacity and over 1,500 MiGD of water in operation and under development globally.

Excess capacity and outage allowance to ensure an extended plant lifespan:

•	Management believes that the excess of actual capacity over the contracted capacity of the plant will more than compensate for the estimated degradation of the plant over the term of the PWPA.

•	The PWPA also allows Sembcorp Salalah to perform maintenance on the power plant at designated off-peak periods of the year. This contemplated maintenance is likely to extend the lifespan of the plant and delay the degradation of its electricity and desalinated water capacity.

Mitigation of fuel risks:

•

Under the natural gas sales agreement between Sembcorp Salalah and the Ministry of Oil & Gas, the plant has mitigated risks associated with gas quality, gas supply and gas price. In the event that natural gas is not available, and provided that Sembcorp Salalah is not in breach of its obligations regarding the operations of the plant, Sembcorp Salalah is still entitled to receive its incremental costs for the use of diesel from the Ministry of Oil & Gas and capacity charges from OPWP.

Extensive experience of the Project Sponsors:

•	Sembcorp Salalah benefits from the extensive water and energy experience of the Project Sponsors. Sembcorp Utilities is a leading energy, water and on-site logistics group with a strong track record in identifying, securing, financing and executing energy and water projects and has a number of strategic relationships and long-term partnerships with multinational customers. OIC is a private equity investment company with strong experience of investing in the region and a diversified portfolio of investments in the oil and gas, petrochemical, construction and manufacturing sectors in Oman.

•	The project is strategically important to the Project Sponsors, who provide Sembcorp Salalah with technological and management capabilities and expertise that are critical to its operational success.

Experienced and skilled operational personnel:.

•	Sembcorp Salalah has the advantage of well-trained and experienced personnel, who bring extensive management expertise and the knowledge sharing of know-how accumulated through decades of experience. Sembcorp Salalah personnel are also able to attend training and off-site sessions with personnel of the Project Sponsors around the world in order to share and exchange knowledge and best practices.

Opportunities for incremental revenue growth:

•	Sembcorp Salalah has two key opportunities for incremental growth of revenues:

	i. The expansion of existing facilities to deliver additional desalinated water capacity, in line with the current government policy to minimise use of groundwater, and
	ii. The sale of current excess power capacity.

Sembcorp Salalah Power & Water Company, the owners and operators of Salalah Independent Water and Power Plant (Salalah IWPP) today confirmed the launch of its internship programme for local students. Currently seven engineering students from Salalah College of Technology are working at Salalah IWPP as part of the programme which lasts eight weeks. The students, from the College’s Electrical and Mechanical courses, undertake an intense and in depth programme working full time during the internship. The first four weeks of the programme focuses on equipping students with a thorough understanding of the plant’s health, safety and environmental practices, as well as introducing them to specific features of the workplace environment. All will be required to show an understanding of the mechanism of operating equipment and apparatus and finally to acquire a broader knowledge of the plant’s processes, inputs and outputs as well as quality issues. The second four weeks includes exposure to the operational parameters of the plant, further interaction with people throughout the business, and getting acquainted with the functionalities of all services and departments of Salalah IWPP. Lim Yeow Keong, General Manager of Sembcorp Salalah Power & Water Company said, “These young people represent the future of Oman and we are proud to host them at the Salalah IWPP. I along with all of my colleagues have been incredibly impressed with their initiative, work ethic and interest in the programme and I have no doubt that each of our interns will go on to long and successful careers. At Sembcorp, we believe that we must recognise our role in society, beyond our operating objectives. The Salalah IWPP provides water and power to a region, and I also believe we can contribute even more through vital initiatives such as our internship programme.” Salim Dhofar Ahmed Al-Rawas – Head of Engineering Dept at Salalah College of Technology added, “Programmes such as the internship at the Salalah IWPP work by building self-confidence and converting academic knowledge to tangible industry skills. We thank Sembcorp Salalah for its support of our students”. The Salalah IWPP was successfully completed in May 2012 and consists of a gas-fired power plant with a total gross capacity of 490 megawatts (net capacity of 445 megawatts) and a seawater desalination plant with a total water production capacity of 15 million imperial gallons (69,000 cubic metres) per day. It will provide power and water under a 15-year power and water purchase agreement with the Oman Power and Water Procurement Company, which is wholly owned by the Government of Oman.

Steps are being taken to preserve the eco-system through the establishment of environmental norms and best practices whilst at the same time protecting the heritage and traditional culture for conservation and sustainable utilization of natural resources. I am equally delighted to see the continued effort of Sembcorp Salalah not only managing the environmental issues as a responsible Corporate Citizen but also in creating further awareness amongst its employees and the community at large through forums like this. Promoting the concept of World Environment Day will go a long way in creating a sense of environmental responsibility, which is so essential in our everyday life today.” Commemorating the occasion of World Environment Day, a sapling was planted by DG MECA, Dy.
