SINGAPORE, April 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Mainboard-listed Sunpower Group Ltd. ("Sunpower" or the "Group") (SGX: 5GD.SI), an environmental protection solutions specialist with a leading edge in anti-pollution investment projects ("Green Investments" or "GI") that generate long-term intrinsic value in the form of recurring income and cash flows, has won a RMB242 million Manufacturing and Services ("M&S") tender from Shenhua Yulin Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. ("Shenhua Yulin"), a subsidiary of China Energy Investment Co., Ltd. ("CHN Energy").
As a Fortune Global 500 company and one of the world's largest power generation companies by capacity, CHN Energy is a longstanding repeat customer, having kicked off its partnership with Sunpower in 2006. Sunpower will provide a comprehensive range of services that includes the design, engineering, procurement and construction of a high salt crystalliser for the Yulin Recycling Economy Coal Comprehensive Utilisation Project ("Yulin Project"), one of the world's largest coal chemical projects. This will be the third M&S project undertaken by the Group for the Yulin Project, adding up to an aggregate of RMB365.5 million. This is expected to have a positive impact on the Group's performance for FY2019 and FY2020.
Mr. Guo Hongxin, Executive Chairman of Sunpower, said, "We are heartened to win another repeat contract from CHN Energy and provide solutions for the landmark Yulin Project again. Sunpower has established a solid track record in supplying high-quality equipment and solutions for large scale projects. CHN Energy's trust in us is also mirrored by the other reputable customers we have served over the years, including BASF, BP, Shell, CNOOC, CNPC and SINOPEC, which have contributed to the stable and resilient development of our M&S business segment."
He continued, "Our GI business however is the key value creator and growth driver of Sunpower's future, capable of generating long-term high quality recurring income and cash flows for us. Right now, we have 7 operating GI projects and 5 more on the way, either at the construction or design stages. In addition, we have a strong pipeline of projects under evaluation that will provide a springboard for us to further ramp up the GI business. We are on target to invest RMB 2.5 billion in equity by 2021 to build a sizeable portfolio of GI assets that will maximise its enormous potential."
None of the directors have interest in the aforesaid contract other than through their direct and indirect shareholdings.
