Pestech International Ready To Clinch RM334 Million Deal
Pestech International‘s 60 percent-owned subsidiary Diamond Power took over the job of developing a 230kV transmission line between Kampong Chom and Kratie from Cambodian-state owned Electricite Du Combodge (EDC).
Transmitting electricity from the upcoming Hydro Power Lower Se San 2 plant in Stung Treng to Kratie and Kampong Cham, Pestech will get a 25-year concession to operate the line and stand a good chance in clinching the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) portion of the project.
Lack of players in the South-East Asian region opens doors for Pestech, giving them an edge to compete with bigger companies from South Korea and China. It has secured RM78 million worth of contracts year-to-date, compared to the total value of RM406 million in 2014.
Significance: If given the deal, Pestech’s order book could be boosted 43 percent to RM815 million from RM570 million. Pestech’s gearing is estimated to increase to 0.87 times by the financial year ending 31 June 2017.
