KUALA LUMPUR: YTL Power International Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiary, YTL PowerSeraya Pte Ltd, has proposed to acquire the power plant and associated assets of Tuaspring Pte Ltd for S$331.45 million (RM1 billion).

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, YTL Power said the acquisition would be settled with S$230 million in cash and S$101.45 million in ordinary shares and loan notes amounting to 7.54% of the post-acquisition equity in YTL Utilities (S) Pte Ltd, the immediate holding company of YTL PowerSeraya.

The assets comprise a land lease over a site located at 90 Tuas South Avenue 3, Singapore, with a remaining term of 20 years and a 396 megawatt (MW) combined cycle power station, as well as stocks and associated assets.

It said the acquisition presented an opportunity to acquire an efficient, operating asset with a proven operational track record, as well as to enable YTL Power to integrate the assets into YTL PowerSeraya’s existing businesses and consolidate its power generation capacity in Singapore
