The most notable absentee from the bidder list is the Veolia Water/Keppel Seghers consortium, which was among attendees at a technical conference for bidders in November 2009.  The $250 million 27-year contract also includes the construction of a 15km deep tunnel sewer main and a wastewater connection network. Fifteen groups originally prequalified in February 2009, and a number of those groups subsequently expressed doubts about the risk profile of the major civil works included in the project.

Any effect on YTLp share price and why in the Cayman Islands?  Something coming up

Any effect on YTLp share price and why in the Cayman Islands?  Something coming up

Have one question here:

Let say ytlpower IPP license was being discontinued by tenaga. What will happened to the power plant? Sell to TENAGA ? Scrapped?

The way i look at it YTLPOWER will be the first license to be discontinued from tenaga as it is the first IPP in MALAYSIA.

If there is a renewal it could be after the next election. I don't think gov't will renew before that because opposition likely to make lot of noise. The first IPP by YTLPOWR is also the most criticised and always used as an example of a lopsided deal.

But who will be in control? BN or Pakatan ?

Still too early to speculate.

If not renewed can either be sold to a poor country like Bangladesh or become a museum piece.
