INVESTMENT THESIS

Company background and stock performance


Truba Alam Manunggal Engineering Tbk (Truba), established in 2001 and previously a Thin coverage due to newly
general contracting company, has revamped its strategy, becoming a one-stop solution listed, new industry but …
company for electricity/energy needs, especially electricity that is powered by coal. The
company went public in October 2006 with a local firm, Danatama Makmur, as its lead
underwriter. The stock has done well, rising by more than 130% since the beginning of
this year. There is only one local broker covering the stock since this is a new industry
and a new concept for most analysts in Indonesia. Nevertheless, we expect more
coverage given the size and liquidity of the company.

We brought this company to our Indonesian Infrastructure Day in Singapore and Hong … well received during our
Kong on 7-9 May 2007 and it was well received by investors – given Indonesia’s need Indonesian infrastructure
day in Singapore and Hong
to boost power/electricity generation over the next five years and its strong track record

Alam Manunggal and Mandala Capital own 31% and 27% of Truba, respectively. We Strong local connection
believe the owner and the management have a strong local network and enough with experience
management team
connections to win majors deal in both the IPP and EPC businesses. Additionally, the
management team, lead by Arifin Wiguna (ex vice-president director at Indika group),
Shi Hong Chao (ex-China Huadian), Chua Thiam Joo (ex- Indika power) and FX Agus
Edyono (ex military colonel) have strong experience in the energy related sector, with
a strong network in the IPP sector. The commissioners consist of Hendrik Tee
(previously a managing director and Indika and Sinar Mas group), Sidarta Sidik
(director of Hutchinson CP, with a strong IT and engineering background) and
Siswanto (a retired brigadier general from the army).

Strong and attractive business model


Truba Alam Manunggal Engineering Tbk has revamped its strategy, becoming a one- The only listed power
stop solution for electricity needs, especially electricity that is powered by coal, in line generation company in
Indonesia with …
with its vision to answering challenges of engineering and power generation. Truba
has a strong business model and is supported by an integrated power generation
company with strong track record. It is the only listed power generation company in
Indonesia and offers a one-stop solution for electricity and energy needs.

Truba will also benefit from Indonesia’s rising power demand with low electricity … strong Chinese partners
consumption per capita. Truba’s subsidiary company, Truba Jurong Engineering, has and solid earnings growth
dealt with construction activity for more than 30 years through various scopes of work
and involvement with almost every power plant project in Indonesia. Since early 2006,
Truba has entered into partnerships with the three Chinese companies namely,
Shanghai Electric, Golden Corcord and Qingdao Jieneng Power Station Engineering.
As a result of this EPC and IPP divisions, we expect net profit to grow 94% CAGR from
2007-10.

To be the largest integrated and most profitable IPP


Truba aimed to become the largest integrated and most profitable IPP in Indonesia by For its IPP, Truba will focus
2009. Going forward, Truba will continue to aim at IPP market outside Java. Truba’s on the IPP market outside
Java and …
future strategy is as follows: First, Truba will tap in to the government’s 10,000MW
coal-fired power plant projects and rising energy needs through its EPC activity –
mainly through PT Truba Jurong Engineering. Although there are many players in the
construction field, one of the EPC activities, other these companies’ ability to
undertake all three EPC activities remains limited. Thus, Truba has competitive
advantage over its competitors.

Second, Truba is aiming to focus on IPP projects outside Java to strengthen its … expand its coal trading
position among small and medium-sized players, given the strong competition from big and coal mining activity
multinational players in Java. In addition, Truba has always opened to any acquisition
opportunity in the energy sector. Third, Truba will expand its coal trading and mining to
have sufficient supply to its IPP business and to the free market.

EPC and IPP are the key earning drivers


Given its strong competitive advantage, Truba will continue to focus on both EPC and EPC is the near term
IPP as its key strategy. In the near term, Truba will try to get as many EPC projects as earnings driver while IPP is
the medium term driver
possible from the 10,000MW power plant project. Over the medium-term, IPP and coal
mining will also play an important role for Truba’s profits and earnings. Over the longer
tem, Truba will also extend its business by providing operation and maintenance
services for other IPPs or companies that owns IPPs. In addition, it will continue to
focus on the development of energy sources, including alternative energy. Truba’s
gross profit should break down to 79% EPC, 14% coal, and 7% IPP in 2008.

electricity/energy needs, especially coal-powered electricity, in line with its vision to

Power generation and coal supply


Truba is engaged in the power-generation and coal-supply businesses through its two Truba is mainly engaged in
subsidiaries: Manunggal Power (MP) and Maxima Infrastruktur (MI). The parent, Truba power generation such as

Alam Manunggal Engineering, is mainly engaged in the operation and maintenance of
power plants.

MP is responsible for engaging in power plants as an independent power producer … independent power
through individual project companies (PCs) and selling electricity to PLN (state-owned production …
electricity company) and third parties. The IPP business should become Truba’s
backbone as it provides a recurring stable revenue stream once a project is in place.
MP should play an important role in helping Truba minimise the EPC services’
unstable project-driven revenue stream. Five PCs signed power-purchase agreements
(PPAs) with PLN on 27 April 2007 amounting to 630MW.

MI started commercial operations in March 2006 and is responsible for coal … coal supply and …
procurement in support of power-plant projects. It also engages in coal-trading
activities. Currently, MI is supplying about 1m tonnes of coal.

Through Maxima Infrastructure, Truba owns a 90.1% stake in Manunggal Multi Energi … coal mining
(MME). MME owns a mining licence (Kuasa Pertambangan) in Muara Enim, south
Sumatra. Stage 1 exploration covering 230ha (out of 5,574ha) resulted in estimated
coal reserves of 55m tonnes. Stage 2 exploration is continuing. The company plans to
start production in 2008 with initial output of 1.0m tonnes per year.

EPC services
Through its subsidiary, Manungal Infrasolusi, Truba engages in the engineering, Truba has expertise in EPC
procurement and construction (EPC) business: through Truba Jurong
Engineering
Manunggal Engineering (ME): A newly established subsidiary responsible for
engineering and procurement activities. Truba Jurong Engineering (TJE) deals with
construction activity and was consolidated into Truba in December 2005. TJE has
engaged in construction activity for more than 30 years through various scopes of work
and involvement with almost every power-plant project in Indonesia. Through 30 years
of work, TJE has achieved some advantages, such as managing long-term
relationships with many project owners in various scopes of work.

EPC activities
There are many players in the construction field, one of three EPC activities, as Engineering, procurement
described in the chart below. But the ability of these companies to engage in all three and construction accounts
for around …

Truba’s business will benefit from rising power demand in Indonesa. PLN is Rising power demand in

installed capacity is currently around 22GW, while the other three GWs are sourced
from IPPs. According to the World Bank, Indonesia needs to spend about USD27b on
new plants and transmission lines by 2012 to meet demand.

Strong demand will outstrip supply – per capita consumption is


among the lowest in Asia
We believe that low estimated consumption is more a function of limited available Demand is expected to

given the …
households had electricity by the end of 2005. According to Indonesia Power’s most
recent estimates, electricity demand is expected to increase at a 9% CAGR from 2004-
10 while supply is only expected to grow at a 6.2% CAGR. The Java-Bali system is
expected to account for 80% of total demand.

With existing total system capacity struggling to meet current demand, Indonesia’s … low per capita
power deficit may escalate unless significant additional capacity is brought online. The consumption
Indonesian per capita consumption of electricity is among the lowest in Asia, so there

In addition to that, there is also a problem with the electricity supplied by PLN – some Many blackouts in various
areas of the country have experienced blackouts due to the electricity deficit. These areas in Indonesia including
in the capital city, Jakarta
blackouts are due to many technical problems, such as aging power plants that cannot
operate efficiently or, even worse, damaged equipment. These blackouts cause many
industries to suffer substantial losses in the form of decreasing work hours and
damaged machinery. For instance, up to 50,000 small to medium enterprises in north
Sumatra are losing 60% of their daily productivity due to blackouts, which can be up to
six hours per day.

Future strategy — Focus on EPC and IPP


Truba will continue to focus on its operation as an EPC and IPP company. It EPC and IPP will be Truba’s
aims to become the largest and most-profitable integrated IPP in Indonesia by main strategy focus
2009. Truba’s future strategy is to: 1) tap into government 10GW projects and
Indonesia’s rising energy needs; 2) focus on IPP projects outside Java while
remaining open to acquisition opportunities in the power-plant business; and 3)
expand its coal mining and trading to ensure sufficient supply to its IPP
business and free-market trading.

1) Tap into government 10,000MW projects and rising


energy needs through EPC activity
With its expertise as an EPC contractor and with its own coal mining and trading Truba will tap into 10GW
operation, Truba aims to be the largest integrated IPP in Indonesia. Supported by the projects through …
government’s/PLN’s decision to boost power generation in Indonesia, Truba will take
the opportunity to engage in IPP projects. PLN’s energy mix still contains significant
amounts of energy produced from oil. In 2006, oil still comprised 36% of PLN’s total
costs. Furthermore, its electrification ratio is still 54%, and there are more than 100m
people without electricity. As such, PLN will accelerate development of 10GW as a
starting point to reach an electrification ratio of 100% by 2020.

Truba will benefit from government 10GW because of expertise from Truba Jurong …EPC activity
Engineering (TJE), which was consolidated into Truba in December 2005. TJE has
engaged in construction for more than 30 years through various scopes of work and
involvement with almost every power-plant project in Indonesia. Over 30 years, TJE
has achieved some advantages, such as managing long-term relationships with many
project owners in various scopes of work.

There are many players in the construction field, one of three EPC activities, as
described in the chart below. But the ability of these companies to engage in all three
EPC activities – engineering, procurement and construction – remains limited.

competition from big multinational players in Java. Truba is well-prepared to tap
opportunities in new power-generation projects. However, more IPP projects will be
opened up by the government over the next several years to support the country’s
electricity generation.

Our conversation with management indicates that Truba is always open to any …but remain open to
opportunity to acquire any profitable and sizable power-plant company in order to opportunities for power-
plant acquisition
speed up and strengthen its business model. Several potential power-plant companies

Indonesian power generators are moving away from oil-fired capacity in favour of
natural-gas and coal-fired plants. As an example, Indonesia Power is considering
switching its existing oil-fired generators (32% of current capacity) to natural gas. In
particular, coal-fired capacity is expected to increase significantly from 37% of the
company’s existing capacity as new projects come online.

In an attempt to slash its oil-fuel-related costs to produce electricity and secure PLN has been trying to
electricity supply, the government realised that building non-oil-fuelled power plants is switch its fuel generator to
a coal-fired power plant due
a must. One of the non-oil-fuelled power plants, which are considered suitable for
its higher cost efficiency
Indonesia, is a coal-fired power plant, as it only requires low-rank coal, which is
cheaper than oil fuel and is available in abundance in Indonesia. Besides, unlike
hydropower plants whose capacity is highly influenced by weather and water
availability, coal-fired power plant is not affected by changes in weather, so it offers a
more-stable electricity supply.

In 2005, oil fuel accounted for 79% of PLN’s total production costs and produced only
33% of PLN’s total electricity output, whereas coal only accounted for about 9% of
PLN’s total production cost and produced 33% of PLN’s total electricity output. From
the table above, we can see that coal provides substantially lower production costs in
terms of one unit output per one unit cost, which is shown by a higher production to
cost ratio for coal compared with oil fuel.

Given its strong competitive advantage, Truba will continue to focus on both EPC and EPC is the short-term
IPP as key strategies. In the near term, Truba will try to get as many EPC projects as earnings driver
possible from the 10,000MW power-plant project. As such, EPC and IPP will be the
key earnings drivers for Truba: EPC for the short to medium term and IPP after 2009.
In addition to these two divisions, Truba will also put effort into building up its coal
mining and trading, as well as operations and maintenance.

Since Truba is a newly listed EPC and IPP project in Indonesia, we have provided EPC will take about 40-42%

For every IPP project, apart from the IPP revenue that will come onstream in about two … which is estimated at
to three years, Truba will also get the C (construction and Engineering portion), while around USD950,000 per

gross margin and 2.5% of
Construction accounts for about 40-42% of the total cost with a gross margin of around the total cost of the projects
15%. In addition, Truba will also receive approximately a 2.5% fee from its partners for for agency fees
any projects taken on in Indonesia. Shanghai Electric has agreed to the terms; we
have seen the written agreement between the company and Shanghai Electric. The

18 BNP PARIBAS
FERRY WONG TRUBA ALAM TRUB IJ 20 JUNE 2007

agreement with Qingdao and Golden Concord is expected to be signed soon. Our
preliminary indication from management indicates that Qingdao Jieneng will likely give
Truba a 2-3% agency fee for its equipment for the EPC project.

For the IPP business, Truba revenue will come onstream after two to two and a half
years. Truba will need to sign a PPA (power-purchase agreement) with the
government. One thing to understand is that IPP producers in Indonesia do not have to
bear the volatility in coal prices as this cost will be absorbed by PLN, and IPP

1) EPC: the backbone of earnings in the short term


EPC will become Truba’s key earnings driver in 2007-09, given the significant The backbone
contribution of this division. With Truba’s Jurong expertise, EPC will continue to
provide a significant amount of revenue and profitability to Truba’s earnings.

2) IPP: Main revenue driver over the longer term


IPP will become an important division for Truba over the longer term. We expect IPP to IPP will start giving
start giving contributions to Truba in 2009 and 2010. This will become Truba’s main contributions to Truba in
2009-10
earnings driver starting in 2009. Truba can either continue holding this IPP (ranging
from 20-30 years) or sell it to other parties. According to PLN, total additional capacity
needed in Indonesia is approximately 4,000MW/year, or 52,000MW by 2020. Due to
limited ability on the part of PLN to finance additional power plants (capacity), PLN
decided to invite the private sector to close the gap. These IPP projects could be
through regular tender mechanism and e-procurement or direct appointment for
proposals from interested parties to construct power plants and respective
transmission lines, but this is only applicable for regions with an electricity crisis.

Power purchases by IPPs from PLN is governed by a power-purchase agreements IPPs in Indonesia can pass
(PPAs). The IPP purchase tariff ceiling is regulated by the Ministry of Energy and on all costs to PLN
mineral resources regulation No. 44/2006. To ensure the financial ability and long-term
viability of IPPs, the government gives about 20-30 years. PLN will be responsible for
coal supply and coal price fluctuation.

4) Operations maintenance and alternative energy


With its expertise in IPP and EPC, Truba over the longer term will expand its business Truba will provide services
by providing operations and maintenance services for other IPPs or companies that for other IPP projects over
the longer term
own IPPs. This will provide additional opportunities for Truba, given the tendency for
capital-intensive companies to have their own power generation. With this, we expect
EPC and IPP companies like CP Bahari & others to become Truba’s operations and
maintenance customers in future.

Truba will continue to focus on the development of other energy sources, including Truba will also focus on the
alternative energy. The company is also studying the possibility of getting into solar development of alternative
energy
power. This potential project represents: 1) an opportunity for Truba to diversify its
business mix from pure fossil-fuel-based power generation to include renewables; and
2) an opportunity to tap a related business with growth potential in Indonesia and the
region.

KEY RISKS

Risks to the business


Among potential threats to Truba’s short-term and long-term business are: 1) Four risks to Truba’s
failure to get additional EPC/IPP contracts; 2) the government may not be able to business
successfully implement the fast-track programme; 3) increased competition
from big players; and 4) construction and start-up risks.

1) Failure to get additional EPC/IPP projects


Truba’s business is dependant upon the awarding of EPC and IPP projects. Any delay
or cancellation in getting IPP or EPC contracts can have a big impact on Truba’s
financial position and earnings. EPC and IPP combined accounted for 86% and 89% of
total gross profit in 2008 and 2009, respectively. In our model, we have assumed that
Truba will get additional EPC and IPP projects for 3,000MW and 2,200MW between
2008 and 2010.

2) The government may not be able to successfully


implement the fast-track programme
The revenue drivers of Truba in 2007-10 are largely dependent on the implementation
of the government’s 10,000MW fast-track programme. The proposed new electricity-
generating plants under the fast-track programme are expected to be operational by
2010. If the government were not able to implement the fast-track programme
according to schedule, it could have an adverse impact on Truba’s financial condition.
The success of the fast-track programme depends on construction of the transmission
and distribution facilities by PLN to support new electricity-generating plants.

We see that most fast-track power-plant projects have been tendered and that many
banks are willing to give support for its financial structures. If PLN/the government are
not able to implement the fast-track programme according to schedule, Truba’s
financial condition may be adversely affected.

3) Increased competition from big players


There are not many players entering either the IPP or EPC sectors, especially outside
of Java. Big multinational players such as Mitsubishi, Marubeni, ABB and Siemens are
focusing on big projects in Java. Although still few in number and not very focused on
power plants, domestic players could possibly come to compete with Truba for projects
outside Java in future. These companies include Adhi Karya (mainly for construction),
Tripatra Engineering (mainly for oil and gas), Wijaya Karya (civil work) and Total
Bangun Persada (civil work).

4) Construction and start-up risks


Construction of power plants involve many risks, including shortages of equipment,
material, work stoppages, weather interferences, and unforeseen engineering, design,
environmental and geological problems. Construction delays both in EPC and IPP may
result in the loss of revenue. No assurance can be given that construction of electricity-
generating plants or construction of projects under planning will be completed on
schedule and within budget.

VALUATION

Our valuation methods give fair value of


IDR1,392–1,740/share
Using several valuation methodologies, we arrive at a fair value range for the
company of IDR1,392-1,740/share. Our discounted cash-flow valuation using a
WACC of 8.9% and a 3% terminal-growth assumption indicates IDR1,657/share.
Our relative valuation using an average P/E of 18.3x to 22.9x for 2008 translates
into a fair value of IDR1,392-1,740 per share.

Discounted cash-flow valuation


We employed a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 8.9% and terminal-growth Our DCF valuation using a
value of 3% (excluding the IPP business as the company needs to hand it over to the WACC rate of 8.9% and
terminal value of 3.0%

indicates …
risk-free rate and 6.2% equity-risk premium and assume a beta of 1.0x.

Based on this, we put Truba’s fair value at IDR1,657/share. Our sensitivity analysis
using 0.5% movement in both the WACC and terminal-growth rate indicates Truba’s
value could range from IDR1,465-1,888/share. For our present value calculation, we
explicitly forecast cash flow up to 2027. Despite a relatively small contribution in 2008-
09, IPP accounts for approximately 47% our DCF valuation.

APPENDIX 1: INDONESIAN POWER INDUSTRY

History of power demand in Indonesia


The continuing transformation of Indonesia from an agricultural to a manufacturing- Manufacturing accounts
oriented economy has played a particularly important role in the growth of demand for for a big chunk or
Indonesia’s …
electricity. The agricultural sector generally has low electricity consumption despite its
rising usage of electric motors and pumps and other electrical equipment. In contrast,
the manufacturing sector relies heavily on electricity as a major source of energy. The
expansion of the commercial sector in Indonesia, which generally also has a higher
level of electricity consumption than the agricultural sector, has also contributed
significantly to the growth of demand for electricity.

Other factors that have contributed to growth of power demand in Indonesia are the Rising affluence and
rising affluence and the increasing urbanisation of the Indonesian population. Rising improving standards of
living result in higher
affluence and improving standards of living in Indonesia have generally resulted in
electricity usage
higher usage of air conditioners and electrical household appliances. Increased
urbanisation has also generally reduced the number of persons per dwelling, which
has led to a larger number of electricity-consuming households.

Market structure
The electricity sector in Indonesia has an effective monopoly under PLN, a state- PLN has an effective
owned electricity company. PLN had a complete monopoly on power generation and monopoly in the electricity
sector in Indonesia
distribution until the middle of 1989. Due to its inability to meet estimated future
demand, the government began to allow IPPs to participate in power generation in
1989. By 1997, PLN had signed 27 IPP projects with a combined capacity of 10.5
GWh, typically with consortiums that featured well-connected Indonesian partners.
However, the Asian financial crisis in 1997 had a negative impact on PLN and the
government launched a number of initiatives that included the renegotiation of certain

Indonesia is set for a substantial expansion of power-generating capacity. The country Indonesia faces a shortage
faces a shortage of generating power, a problem made worse by the lack of an of power
integrated national grid. Improving both capacity and the transmission network are
major components of Indonesia’s fiscal 2009 infrastructure development project. As of
2006, there were approximately 36m electricity customers throughout Indonesia, of
which 23.8m were served by the Java-Bali grid.

PLN remains the dominant presence in domestic power generation and transmission. PLN’s power-generation
However, an emphasis on private-sector investment – primarily in IPPs – marks a capacity has been pretty
much stagnant since the
return to development plans before the 1997 financial crisis. PLN has 16,361MW
crisis
available in Java-Bali and 5,249MW on the other main islands. The role of IPPs in
providing domestic power is becoming increasingly important as the domestic
consumption of electric power increases. PLN’s power-generation capacity has had
only marginal increases in recent years. The increase in PLN’s power-generation
capacity from 2001-2006 was at annual growth of 1.7%, whereas peak demand has
risen by 4.3% per annum and electric-power consumption increased 6.1% per annum
over the same period.

New electricity-generating plants are expected to help the country meet its growing
demand for power and to reduce the risk of being dependent on certain specific
electricity-generating plants. Indonesia expects approximately 3GW of new capacity to
begin operation.

In addition to the lack of adequate investment in generating capacity, long-haul


transmission also remains a problem. Indonesia does not have an integrated network
of transmission grids. The Java-Bali grid is the main integrated grid and is connected
by a transmission system running at 500Kv, 150kv and 70kv. Outside Java-Bali,
individual islands use isolated transmission networks at 150kv and 70kV. The
combined length of the transmission lines is 31,534km. Distribution lines of 20kv cover
a total of 236,009km and low-voltage lines cover 324,454km.

Power-demand outlook
The increase in demand has been driven by Indonesia’s relatively low per capita Indonesia has low
consumption and generation capacity. Indonesia’s per capita consumption of electricity electricity per capita
consumption
is low compared with other emerging Asian economies such as Malaysia, Thailand and
Vietnam. This indicates that there is potential for future growth in electricity demand as
the Indonesian economy further develops. Furthermore, countries with predominantly
manufacturing-based economies tend to consume more electricity

Higher fuel prices lead to deficit for PLN


Oil price hikes since 2004 have increased the government’s burden for fuel subsidies. Fuel price hike have
The situation has forced the Indonesian government to gradually abolish fuel subsidies forced …
since 2005, causing the average domestic industry fuel price to surge more than 200%.

Fuel-price hikes have forced many industries to switch their energy supply from oil- … many industries to
fuel-based energy to electricity-based energy from PLN. This action has caused switch their energy to
electricity from PLN
electricity consumption to jump significantly during peak hours (5pm–10pm), notably in
Java and Bali. As a result, PLN’s consumption of oil fuel to produce electricity jumped
to 11m kilolitres in 2005, whereas its subsidised fuel is only 8.4m kilolitres.

FERRY WONG TRUBA ALAM TRUB IJ 20 JUNE 2007

This oil-fuel difference (difference between total oil fuel needed and subsidized oil fuel)
must be paid for by PLN at market prices, which increases PLN’s costs as it needs
more funds to buy fuel to generate necessary power. But PLN’s highly limited financial
capability may prevent it from financing such excessive additional costs.

To ease its financial burden, PLN has tried to propose an electricity-tariff increase, but
finally after some to and fro, this proposal was rejected by the government as it was
thought to indicate negative sentiment to the overall economy. This rejection coupled
with higher oil prices has caused the government to propose higher electricity
subsidies.

Blackouts happening in some parts of the country


There is also a problem with the electricity supplied by PLN – some areas of the Many blackout were
country have experience blackouts due to the electricity deficit. These blackouts are happening
due to many technical problems, including ageing power plants that cannot operate
efficiently or, even worse, are in a damaged condition. There are also reservoirs that
experience a decline in water, thus keeping hydropower plants from operating at
maximum capacity.

These blackouts cause many industries to suffer substantial losses in the form of
decreased work hours and damaged machinery. For instance, up to 50,000 small and
medium-size enterprises in north Sumatra are losing 60% of their daily productivity due
to blackouts, which can be up to six hours per day.

Move to diversify fuel mix, especially coal


Indonesian power generators are moving away from oil-fired capacity in favour of PLN will move to coal to …
natural-gas and coal-fired plants. As an example, Indonesia Power is considering
switching its existing oil-fired generators (32% of current capacity) to natural gas. In
particular, coal-fired capacity is expected to increase significantly from 37% of the
company’s existing capacity as new projects come online.

In an attempt to slash its oil-fuel-related costs to produce electricity and secure … reduce its energy cost
electricity supply, the government realised that building non-oil-fueled power plants is a
must. One of the non-oil-fueled power plants, which are considered suitable for
Indonesia, is coal-fired power plants, as it only requires low-rank coal, which is
cheaper than oil fuel and is available in abundance in Indonesia. Besides, unlike
hydropower plants whose capacity is highly influenced by weather and water
availability, coal-fired power plant is not affected by changes in weather, thus offering a
more-stable electricity supply.

It is expected that oil fuel will account for 79% of PLN’s total production costs and
produce only 33% of PLN’s total electricity output, whereas coal will account for about
only 9% of PLN’s total production costs and produce 33% of PLN’s total electricity
output.

cost ratio
(GWH) (%) (IDR t) (%) (x)
Oil fuel 33,566 33 44.70 79 0.42

From the table above, we can see that coal provides substantially lower production
costs in terms of one unit output per one unit cost, which is shown by a higher
production to cost ratio for coal compared to oil fuel. But after all the favourable stories
about coal-fired power plants, all we can guess is, the government will end up with the
same classic problem, that is, insufficient funding given its highly limited budget.

10,000MW coal-fired power plants to reduce PLN costs


The government plans to build 10,000MW coal-fired power plants, with all the plants 10,000MW coal-fired power
targeted to be completely installed by 2009. This project comprises a 6,900MW coal- plant will b built in 2009-10
and …
fired power plant to be built in Java (consisting of 10 projects), and a 3,100MW plant to
be built outside Java (consisting of 20 projects).

On 5 July 2006, the Indonesian president issued Presidential Decree No. 71 Year
2006, which assigned PLN to speed up coal-fired power-plant development in
Indonesia. Some local construction companies (private and stated-owned) have shown
an interest in the programme. The government has also shown its strong support for
this crash programme by providing financial guarantees for PLN’s financial statement
and balance sheet.

lower investment costs compared with their competitors from Europe, Japan, Korea,
India and the US. It can be seen from the prequalification tender announced by PLN, in
which Chinese companies dominate most of the projects. Chinese companies are able
to build power plants that cost only USD900,000 per MW, whereas competitors set the
price at USD1.1-1.2m per MW. China President Hu Jintao has stated his support for
Indonesian coal-fired power-plant projects and he has asked China’s financial
institutions such as the Bank of China and others to provide financial support for these
projects. Not surprisingly, two Chinese companies, Harbin Power and China National
Technical Export Import, have won the Paiton and Suralaya (both are 1x 600MW) coal-
fired power-plant projects.

Recommendation structure

All share prices are as at market close on 19 June 2007 unless otherwise stated. Stock recommendations are based on
absolute upside (downside), which we define as (target price* - current price) / current price. If the upside is 10% or more, the
recommendation is BUY. If the downside is 10% or more, the recommendation is REDUCE. For stocks where the upside or downside
is less than 10%, the recommendation is HOLD. In addition, we have key buy and key sell lists in each market, which are our most
commercial and/or actionable BUY and REDUCE calls and are limited to at most five key buys and five key sells in each market at
any point in time.

Unless otherwise specified, these recommendations are set with a 12-month horizon. Thus, it is possible that future price volatility
may cause a temporary mismatch between upside/downside for a stock based on market price and the formal recommendation.

*In most cases, the target price will equal the analyst's assessment of the current fair value of the stock. However, if the analyst
doesn't think the market will reassess the stock over the specified time horizon due to a lack of events or catalysts, then the target
price may differ from fair value. In most cases, therefore, our recommendation is an assessment of the mismatch between current
market price and our assessment of current fair value.
