Government To Award Short-term Power Plant Extensions The government is likely to offer short-term PPAs (two-year validity) to expired gas-fired power plants. We expect at least 2GW of capacity to be awarded under this short-term PPA extension, as the build-up of data centres requires higher power capacity. Key beneficiaries are Malakoff and TNB Genco. As a pure play, Malakoff will stand to benefit from at least RM100m in cashflow from the extension of its Prai power plant. Maintain MARKET WEIGH...

A Defensive Bet; Stock Yields 4.5-5% 4Q23 will likely see the reversal of negative fuel margin seen in the past nine months. This is a result of coal prices stabilising mom. This is positive as it will help to buffer against higher year-end expenses. The government remains committed to targeted subsidies, which bodes well for TNB’s cashflow management. Consequently, we expect TNB to pay out dividends at the higher end of its expected range, yielding 4.5- 5% in 2023-24. The stock trades at mean v...
