[Company Release]- On 29 June, we successfully listed K-Green Trust, a green infrastructure trust that will deliver long term, regular and predictable distribution to unitholders. With an initial portfolio of quality assets in Singapore, K-Green Trust will leverage Keppel's international network and well-established expertise to seek acquisition opportunities in Asia, Europe and Middle East. The Keppel Seghers Tuas Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plant, one of the three plants under K-Green Trust, was officially opened on 30 June. Constructed by Keppel Seghers, a subsidiary of Keppel Integrated Engineering, or KIE, this is the first WTE plant in Singapore to showcase WTE technologies from a local company. It is also one of the most compact WTE plants in the world, and supports Singapore's aim of building a sustainable quality environment amidst land scarcity. Together with the Senoko WTE Plant, Keppel now treats almost half of Singapore's incinerable waste. Earlier this year, KIE also secured two contract wins in China, one of which involves providing technology for what will be China's largest WTE plant, in Shenzhen. KIE is well positioned to meet the demands of the growing China market, where it holds a leading share. KIE will also continue to pursue opportunities in Europe and the Middle East. While the financial crisis has slowed down the decisions by municipal governments to embark on large-scale projects, there is growing global demand for sustainable urban solutions and KIE will continue to seek opportunities to tap this demand. |

Warned on future, nations look at clean energy
WASHINGTON : Some of the world's most developed nations were expected Tuesday to announce initiatives to cooperate on clean energy after a top policy board warned that the world's current path on power was unsustainable. Senior officials from 21 economies making up 80 percent of global Gross Domestic Product were holding talks Monday and Tuesday in Washington in a US initiative billed as the highest-level meeting yet on shifting to green energy. While few expect announcements Tuesday to be ground-breaking, they would mark a rare point of common ground amid a stalemate in global negotiations on drafting a new climate treaty. "The goal here is not to discuss what one might agree upon," said US Energy Secretary Steven Chu, the meeting's host. "Our goal here today is to take concrete actions." The meeting opened to a dire warning from Nobuo Tanaka, executive director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), which advises major economies, who invoked the three-month BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. "Without major changes to the way we produce and in energy use, we will confront untenable risks to our collective energy security and to the environment in the future," Tanaka told the delegates. "Indeed, the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico is a tragic reminder of this," he said. The IEA said in a recent study that barring a shift from fossil fuels, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions -- which are blamed for global warming -- would nearly double by 2050. The IEA said that, even leaving aside environmental benefits, a decision to make more than half of light vehicles eco-friendly by 2050 would save global consumers 112 trillion dollars -- although the costs of adjustment would be 46 trillion dollars. "We still have formidable challenges before us, but each day we wait, the challenge becomes harder. Every year of delay adds 500 billion US dollars to the cost of action," Tanaka said. Chu later announced one US initiative -- lighter-colored paint on the roof of the Energy Department headquarters along with other agency buildings outside of Washington. He said the project, to begin this summer, would better cool buildings and reflect more of the sun's heat, leading to thousands of dollars in annual savings on air-conditioning. "Cool roofs are one of the quickest and lowest cost ways we can reduce our global carbon emissions and begin the hard work of slowing climate change," Chu said, adding that he would recommend that other US departments follow suit. The energy meeting, which Chu expected to be the first of several, is an offshoot of the US-led Major Economies Forum, a gathering of the biggest nations that is trying to eke out progress in global climate negotiations. The Kyoto Protocol's obligations on cutting carbon emissions run out at the end of 2012, but key nations have butted heads on what to do afterward. The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think-tank, in a study last week recommended cooperation in alternative energy as a way forward on climate, but warned it would not be enough to meet global targets. The think-tank advised as one step that China and India should join the IEA to coordinate energy policies, saying that considering their consumption levels, "the absence of these two giants is hard to defend." Tanaka supports bringing the two nations into the IEA, but rules dictate that the two nations would also need to join the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, meeting the club's standards for market economies. |

For those of you looking for long term, attractive and stable dividends yield, this one cannot go wrong...Else, Sgp will go v. wrong. New Listing: K-Green Trust gets
cool reception, offers attractive yield737
words 5 July 2010 The Edge Singapore English (c)
2010 The Edge Publishing Pte Ltd. All Rights Reserved. The kick-off in trading of units in K-Green Trust (KGT) barely caused a stir, even though it is the first “green” infrastructure trust to list in Singapore. In a week fraught with negative news, the units were quickly knocked down to $1.05 by Thursday, 10.3% below its opening price of $1.17 on Tuesday. Yet, this could be an opportunity to get into a promising investment that the market isn’t yet familiar with, some analysts say. KGT is a business trust that plans to “invest in green infrastructure assets (including, but not limited to, waste management, water and wastewater treatment, renewable energy, energy efficiency and other “green” initiatives) in Singapore and globally with a focus on Asia, Europe and the Middle East.” The key reason for KGT’s quiet debut is that it came to market via a one-for-five distribution in-specie to shareholders of Keppel Corp rather than through an IPO. KGT is now 49%-owned by Keppel Integrated Engineering (KIE), a wholly owned unit of Keppel. KGT’s second-largest direct shareholder is Temasek Holdings, with a stake of 10.6%. Keppel spun off KGT in part to recycle its capital for other capital-intensive infrastructure investments. The company is ramping up its involvement in environmental infrastructure with projects like the Tianjin Eco-City as well as waste-to-energy (WTE) plants in China. And a listed vehicle like KGT would be able to independently tap equity markets for capital and use it to acquire mature projects from Keppel. KGT holds three infrastructure properties that used to be owned by Keppel: a NEWater plant in Ulu Pandan and two WTE refuse incineration plants. The NEWater plant is the largest in Singapore and supplies more than 10% of the country’s total daily water demand. Meanwhile, the two incineration plants — one in Senoko and the other in Tuas — process close to half of Singapore’s total volume of waste. All three have concession agreements with either the National Environment Agency (NEA) or the Public Utilities Board (PUB) for between 15 and 25 years. KIE also has a pipeline of four assets to which KGT will enjoy rights of first refusal. They are a WTE plant in Sweden and three cooling systems in Singapore. KIE says it intends to warehouse other attractive greenfield projects until they achieve stable cash flows and become suitable investments for KGT. Analysts say one of the chief attractions of KGT at the moment is its ability to generate cash steadily. A large portion of the income that KGT will generate is fixed — based on the available capacity to incinerate waste or produce water, rather than on the actual waste treated or water produced. That compares favourably to a trust like Hyflux Water Trust, which derives its revenue from supplying water to industrial parks in China and is dependent on economic conditions, says Suvro Sarkar, an analyst at DBS Vickers. Also, payments will come from the NEA and the PUB, both of which are statutory bodies of the government of Singapore, which means lower counterparty risk, he adds. KGT expects to pay out at least 90% of cash flows and it projects a distribution per unit (DPU) of 3.91 cents for the rest of the year and 7.82 cents for 2011. That works out to a yield of 7.4% for 2011, already a premium to Hyflux Water Trust and Macquarie International Infrastructure Fund, which owns interests in, among other things, a port and an expressway in China. Only CitySpring Infrastructure Trust, which owns three assets in gas, water desalination and electricity transmission, has a higher yield. Cityspring’s 2011 estimated yield stands at 7.1%, and it has a higher price-to-book valuation of 1.4 times, versus 0.9 times for KGT. Sarkar believes KGT’s lack of debt versus CitySpring’s high leverage is another advantage. “[It gives the former the] flexibility to grow through debt-funded DPU accretive acquisitions,” he says. Sarkar has a price target of $1.20 and a “hold” recommendation. Meanwhile, Lim & Tan Securities points out in a June 4 note that KGT is Singapore-centric, whereas more than half of CitySpring is accounted for by Basslink, an electricity transmission business in Australia. “We believe KGT is attractive,” the brokerage says. |

I believe Keppel Group can mop up more KGT thru offshore co, (BVI or British Virgin Island) without having to report % change in shareholdings to SGX - bcos they are so-called "invisible hand". TP $1.53 is possible!

Trend now- Most investors suddendly become NET BUYERS of K-Green in anticipation of further price increase to the targeted price. Right Now, hard to find shareholders just simply throwing away to buyers waiting on the Q..... |

Good to see that big investors are accumulating. IT MUST BE TEMASEK ! ! ! With billions of spare liquidity, it is natural for them to be vested in K-GREEN. Best that Keppel shareholders hold tight to their entitlements for better rewards. This is 3rd DAY of UPWARD Trends. Yes, if every day increases by a few cents that shall confirm the Projected Target Price of $1.53 ! Even $1.30 is easily surmonutable! Those who have not covered or buy back are in SURELY IN for a very HARD LANDING ! |
