Unattractive upside…downgrade to Underperform Domestic expansion continues with delays to some projects but they will surely come as promised. For the growth prospects, there are still plenty of opportunities ahead but they might require an additional capital call due to the size. We revise down our net profit forecasts following the delay of two projects and downgrade our recommendation to Underperform as the upside is rather slim. Delay in COD of two projects Two projects are waiting to start commissioning this year, i.e., PGP and SGP. COD of PGP has been postponed from Apr‐17 to June‐17 while SGP is still on track. COD of the first phase (23MW) of PTG has been postponed from Jun‐18 to Mar‐19 due to the stability of the grid connection. We factor in the delays and revise down our net profit forecasts for 17E and 18E by 6% and 30%, respectively. Greater opportunities ahead Three potential projects are 1) waste‐to‐energy that is expected to be announced by ERC this year, 2) SPP Hybrid Firm and VSPP Semi‐Firm and 3) hydropower plant in Lao PDR, which has potential capacity of up to 80MW after running feasibility. We have not yet included the above potential projects in our forecasts and this should have some impact if they are confirmed.
Potential to raise more capital We estimate that the company will have to inject equity of around Bt1,000mn to Bt1,500mn for the hydropower plant, which is deemed excessive compared to its balance sheet. There are a few options including asset divestment, a joint venture, or a cash call, but we think additional capital looks likely due to the greater flexibility compared to the others. Lower TP to Bt18.80…downgrade to Underperform We revise down our 17E TP from Bt19.60 to Bt18.80, with upside of around 2%. The valuation looks unattractive while capital raising could potentially depress the stock performance, especially during the current soft market sentiment. We hence downgrade our recommendation from Outperform to Underperform.

Delay of COD of two projects Two projects are waiting to start commissioning this year, i.e., Patthalung Green Power and Satun Green Power (PGP and SGP). PGP is expected to COD in late June (slower than we previously expected in April) while SGP is still on track (expected COD around 3Q17). COD of the first phase (23MW) of the biggest project “Patthani Green Power” (PTG) will be postponed from Jun‐18 to Mar‐19 due to the stability of the grid connection. We therefore revise down our net profit forecasts for 17E and 18E by 6% and 30% to reflect the delay of PGP and PTG. Figure 1: Capacity expansion plan PTG1

Greater opportunities ahead The company expects to acquire 10‐20 MW of waste‐to‐energy PPA, which should be announced by ERC this year. In the meantime, its RDF facility will produce RDF for sale but we expect additional revenue to be insignificant. The waste‐to‐energy project will be run under Siam Power, which is owned by TPCH at 50%. The plant will be located in Nonthaburi, which has high potential of getting PPA due to the amount of daily MSW. TPCH has also expressed strong interest in bidding for the SPP Hybrid Firm and VSPP Semi‐Firm licenses, which should come as a JV with its partners. In addition, there are better prospects for the hydropower plant project in Lao PDR as the company sees the potential capacity rising from 52 MW to 80 MW after running feasibility. Note that the hydropower project is still under the study phase and its prospects should be clearer within the next 6 – 12 months. We have not yet included the above potential projects in our forecasts and this should have an impact if they are confirmed.
Potential to raise more capital While there is still enough cash for domestic expansion for another 40MW, growing outside Thailand will require much more capital given the current prospects. We estimate that investment in the hydropower plant will need Capex of around Bt3,500mn to Bt5,200mn (depending on the size of the plant, i.e., 50MW – 80MW). The company will have to inject equity of around Bt1,000mn to Bt1,500mn (assuming a 70% financing portion and 100% holding in the project), which is deemed excessive compared to its current balance sheet. There are a few options including asset divestment, a joint venture, or a cash call, but we think additional capital looks likely due to the greater flexibility compared to the other choices.
