SSP advances 150MW Bago wind farm in the Philippines, confident of Q4 2027 COD

Seri Sangsang Power Corporation, or SSP, is accelerating construction of the Bago wind power project in the Philippines, with an installed capacity of 150 megawatts. Mr. Phasakorn Panyarattanakorn, Chief Operating Officer, said that site clearing, internal project roads, and the pouring of large reinforced concrete foundations have already begun, while the wind turbine components are in production, all in line with the planned schedule. The Bago project is the company's largest coastal wind power plant since it began operations, with an investment value of approximately 8 billion baht and a 20-year long-term power purchase agreement. It covers seven villages: Calumangan, Napolis, Taloc, Sampinit, Buzai, Balingasag, and Lag-asan, and will install 23 wind turbines. The project is also part of the Green Energy Auction Program 2, or GEAP2, under the support of the Philippine government, and is SSP's first project to receive investment rights. The company is confident it will begin commercial operation within the fourth quarter of 2027.

Finansia maintains Buy on GULF with 89.50 baht target, eyeing new PDP to drive 10 baht upside

Finansia Securities said GULF is well positioned to link energy infrastructure and ICT businesses with AI, with a strong financial position and capacity to take on an additional 200-300 billion baht in debt. It estimates that added capacity under PDP 2026 could create roughly 10 baht per share of upside for GULF, assuming EGAT opens bidding for about 10GW of new renewable energy projects next year and GULF secures a 40% share, or roughly 4GW of solar projects, under power purchase agreements at a feed-in tariff of 2.16 baht per kWh. Investment is expected to require about 25-30 million baht per MW, with an IRR of approximately 12%. On the AI megatrend, electricity demand is expected to grow faster than GDP, especially demand for clean power from data centers, which are more power-intensive than general industry. Key catalysts include the new PDP, Direct PPAs for 2GW of data centers, and opportunities to invest in renewable energy projects in Europe over the next year. The research team maintained its Buy recommendation and raised its target price to 89.50 baht per share to reflect the opportunity to add capacity from bidding under the new PDP, as well as the acquisition of a 50% stake in solar and wind projects from GUNKUL, representing total capacity of 339.5MW on a proportional ownership basis. The acquired projects are estimated to have a combined NPV of about 9.7 billion baht based on a DCF valuation with a WACC of 5.5%, adding roughly 0.5 baht per share, with net IBD/E of only 1.06 times.

SSP prepares to bid for 1,500 MW community solar, expects strong second-half profit

Strengthen Power Corporation Public Company Limited, or SSP, is preparing to take part in bidding to produce electricity from a 1,500-megawatt community solar farm project. Chayut Leehajaroenkul, Chief Financial Officer, said the company has expertise in this area and sees it as an opportunity to expand its power generation base, and is now waiting for clarity from the relevant authorities on when applications will open. For its business outlook in the second half of 2026, the company expects a clear improvement from the first half, driven by the completion of the sale of the Yamaga solar farm in Japan in late August 2026 for a total value of about 1 billion baht, together with two community waste-to-energy plants with combined capacity of about 19.8 megawatts that are expected to begin gradually supplying commercial electricity late this year. In addition, the weaker baht, which has fallen to about 33.64 baht per US dollar, should help support revenue, since the company earns about 30% of its revenue in US dollars from overseas. As for its long-term two-to-three-year plan, the company is preparing to bring about 420 megawatts of new capacity into commercial operation, comprising three solar farms in Thailand totaling 108.6 megawatts and the 150-megawatt Bago wind farm in the Philippines in 2027, with additional projects continuing through 2030 totaling more than 146 megawatts. On the analyst side, Asia Plus Securities gave a buy recommendation on SSP shares with a target price of 8.30 baht, forecasting normal profit of 693.9 million baht in 2026, up 12.2% from the previous year, supported by higher output at the SPN solar plant after panel replacement was completed, the TTTV wind project returning to full-year operation, the first full year of revenue recognition from the LEO2 project in 2026, and the positive contribution from the waste-to-energy plants totaling 19.8 megawatts in late 2026, as well as revenue recognition from the 150-megawatt Bago Wind Farm next year, which will help profit continue growing in 2027.

EA targets BIO-PCM sales of 100 million baht within three years, eyes new PDP auction

Chatpol Sriprathum, Chief Executive Officer of Energy Absolute Public Company Limited, or EA, disclosed that the company targets sales of 100 million baht from its palm oil extract business, BIO-PCM, within the next three years, after continuously rising demand from its main customers in the construction materials business in South Korea and Japan. The company began recognising revenue from PCM products last year. The PCM business still accounts for a relatively small share of sales compared with its energy business group, which generates revenue in the billions of baht. Meanwhile, the company's core business structure remains roughly 60-70% power plants, followed by the electric vehicle, or EV, business. As for the earnings outlook, it is expected to grow by leaps and bounds over the next three years, as new projects become clearer from 2027, spanning the power plant business, the biodiesel plant, and EV car sales to the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority, or BMTA, which will begin delivering vehicles from the first quarter of 2027. The Maha Sarakham 1 and Khon Kaen wind power plant projects will gradually begin commercial operation in 2028-2029, while the waste-to-energy plant in Phuket, with a generating capacity of 8 MW, will be completed in the second to third quarter of 2027. In addition, the company is interested in joining the auction under the new PDP plan, focusing on wind power plants and solar farms, and is also interested in joining the auction for community power plant and community solar projects.

Yuanta turns positive on GUNKUL's sale of 50% stakes in 12 power plant projects to GULF, boosting EPC backlog by 7 billion baht

Yuanta Securities (Thailand) said in an analysis dated September 30, 2026 that it holds a positive view on Gunkul Engineering Public Company Limited, or GUNKUL, after the company sold 50% stakes in 12 renewable energy power plant projects to Gulf Development Public Company Limited, or GULF, representing a combined pro-rata capacity of 336.7 megawatts. This breaks down into 88.2 megawatts of solar power plants, 16.5 megawatts of Solar+BESS projects, and 232.0 megawatts of wind power plants, which are scheduled to gradually begin commercial operations between 2027 and 2030. The sale value was 466.5 million baht, or about 1.39 million baht per equity megawatt. The research team expects the transaction to bring GUNKUL only a small extraordinary gain and to have no significant impact on third-quarter 2026 net profit. Meanwhile, normal operating results for the third quarter of 2026 are expected to grow both from the previous quarter and from the same period a year earlier, supported by the wind power plant business. The EPC business is expected to slow slightly from the previous quarter but still grow at a high level compared with the same period a year earlier. The conversion of these projects into a joint venture format could help increase the order book, or backlog, of GUNKUL's EPC business. The research team preliminarily estimates, based on the shareholding proportion, that it could rise by about 7 billion baht, with revenue expected to be gradually recognized more from around the middle of 2028. GUNKUL still aims to secure an additional 900 megawatts of new projects over the next three years, and its partnership with GULF also opens the opportunity for the company to take on EPC work for GULF's future renewable energy power plant projects. On dividend policy, the research team said there has been no significant change, estimating that dividend per share is likely to be no lower than the previous level of 0.12 baht per share, while in the first half of 2026 the company already paid a dividend of 0.10 baht per share. It maintained a buy recommendation on GUNKUL with an end-2027 target price of 8.70 baht.
