Company Report

CLP's Australian Operations Recover and We See Greater Cash Flow Stability Ahead

CLP is in the process of transitioning its integrated power portfolio to be focused on renewable generation and related services. Over the next several years, we expect CLP to continue to sell or retire its coal-fired power plants and add renewable power plants and energy storage units to its portfolio. As of the end of 2023, CLP has an effective installed capacity of around 17 gigawatts. We anticipate that adding renewable plants may lag the exit from the coal-fired plants, so CLP’s generating capacity may shrink before building up.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Hong Kong's plan to be carbon neutral by 2050 could lift CLP's investment plan and support stronger growth in its Hong Kong income.

Bears

CLP’s ex-Hong Kong assets incomes and cash flows are weighed down by high fuel costs for a longer period than expected.
