I have been following TPIPP, this year. regret selling. If the capacity can increase from the current 150 MW to anywhere near 440 MW, 2017/2018 should be a good earnings play Is there a risk that they might not get granted a licence to use up that extra capacity?
Pon
Yes there’s always that risk, the probability however is low. Higher probability risk(s) would be 1) delays 2) changes in the tariff rates.
