Sembcorp aims to raise its capacity by 2.5-fold to approximately 25GW by 2028, representing over 80% of its total power portfolio. A 600MW hydrogen-ready power plant commissioned in Q4 2026 will enhance fuel and cost efficiency, positioning the company to capture growing power demand from data centres and high-tech manufacturing sectors in Singapore.
Cyborg Score Rationale
The company maintains a HOLD rating due to limited earnings growth, with weaker renewable and urban solutions trends and higher gearing risks. However, long-term energy transition positioning and strategic capacity expansion provide structural tailwinds despite near-term operational headwinds.
