Enel Russia - Is There Life After Reftinskaya Sale?

The Reftinskaya coal-fired power plant is a behemoth. The 3.8 GW plant is Russia's second largest thermal power plant and its largest coal-fired one. It is also an important asset for Enel Russia, accounting for 40% of its installed capacity and 47% of its electricity output. However, parent company Enel is looking to sell the plant and seems to have found a buyer. The question now is what happens to Enel Russia after the sale? There is a view that the loss of such a major asset would be quite detrimental. We, however, do not subscribe to this view. Having updated our valuation of Enel Russia and taken a closer look at Reftinskaya, we conclude that the disposal of the plant is not a negative scenario for Enel Russia's minority shareholders. Although our updated figures lead us to trim our target price from R1.66 per share to R1.38, given the recent selloff in the shares, we upgrade the stock to BUY.
