@smutaga. your scratching the surface of these gova entities. what they are is "fair companies at a good price"

141 billion rights issue may not be implemented at once as earlier stated. I am having a look at this counter and the profit growth in last two-three years is the best in NSE. The share has a forward PE of around 2. It is probably the cheapest stock currently at NSE. Evaluating the current economic conditions, I suspect that the government lacks their share of 100Billion that they must invest. If the rights are implemented in phases, the dilution may be manageable (which is the most likely scenario). I am beginning to personally think that even with the huge rights issue (as long as the capital is raised in five or more phases), the share may have some serious upside. If only I knew how they plan to implement the rights.


What do you have to say if I add this piece of information

Quote:
“Our revenue moved from Sh8 billion to Sh11 billion, and that was mainly contributor of that was about the three months of full running of the geothermal. We expect the other half year, when that geothermal plant will half run at the 280MW capacity, the results will even be better,”

The only bad thing about Kengen is the huge rights issue and the huge government shareholding. I am learning to avoid government owned businesses so I am in a rather confused state right now. Here comes a very good chance to own a great company at a great price...but the majority-owner is an issue. I guess I will stick to my KPLC shares.


The reason Kengen is able to carry out these projects, get GoK to guarantee its international borrowings, get an assured market for power is because Kengen is majority owned by GoK! As a small share holder, I am happy that Kengen's balance sheet is built by the taxpayers mobey, as long as I can defend my rights when the time comes. Consider it leverage.BTW KPLC is also majority GoK owned.

In the budget speech of today I heard Rotich saying that the ksh.13.2bn will be for GDC.

GEG and KenGen adding 25 MW to the national grid


June 10th, 2015

Last week, Green Energy Group and KenGen connected the last of additional 5 plants to the national power grid in Kenya. GEG has now built a total of 10 geothermal wellhead power plants with a total installed capacity of 55 MW gross.


Fuel Levy still not coming down as Mombasa still running on diesel since KETRACO cannot complete power lines to evacuated power to Mombasa. Kajiado people want more money to give way leave for power lines.

@Othelo;
I see the rights issue being priced at sh.9 if gava is to contribute 15bn.
The number of issued shares will be 2.2bn or 1:1.
Other shareholders apart from gava will be expected to bring in ksh.5bn
Total rights issue amount to be raised is ksh.20bn

Plans for a rights issue to raise 30 billion shillings ($300 million) were at an advanced stage, he said, adding more details could be announced in a month or so. The issue was originally planned for the first quarter of 2015.

2.2 billion @ ksh 7.00=15.4 billion,the 400 million will be transaction costs,this share will fall to a low of ksh 7.50 so that they sell at a discount.

According to reuters in the link posted by @littledove kengen plans to raise ksh.30bn in the rights issue
Link is below
http://af.reuters.com/ar...p;virtualBrandChannel=0

Gava or treasury won't be releasing any money but will be converting part of its debt in kengen to equity to meet its contribution.
The debt by KENGEN to GOK is ksh.28bn

The Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) is searching for a transaction adviser to help structure a public private partnership (PPP) deal for the multibillion-shilling first phase of its Olkaria VI power plant.

The power plant is expected to generate 140 megawatts (MW) and is part of the company’s plan to increase its geothermal output by an extra 350MW in the next four years.

This will be the first time that KenGen will be undertaking a PPP deal.
