For last few years, div payout ratio remains around 30-40%. In next 3-4 years its heavy investments (in last 2-3 years) in utilities would generate recurring profit. These are two drivers for strong upside in dividend in next few years.

Plant coming online doesnt 100% mean that the new plant will contribute meaningfully to the overall revenue and profit/margin.
Just look at Hyflux new desal plant slated to come online these few months. It is selling desalinated water at much cheaper rate than PUB.
Is it losing money? We also need to ask at which capacity these new plants are running at? Idling at 10% capacity will not bring in much revenue.
Sometimes the new plant could just be a strategic play to gain foothold in certain sector. The plant might be losing money every single month once it is commissioned and becomes operational.
Each new plant is unique in its own right

Water utilities are amongst the most capital intensive sector we can find on our globe. With so many competitors like Hyflux and Keppel, hard to make good money...

Shenyang, CHINA, August 30, 2013 – Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong visited Sembcorp’s municipal water plant in Shenyang today whilst in China at the invitation of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang. Prime Minister Lee was accompanied by his wife, Acting Minister for Manpower and Senior Minister of State for National Development Tan Chuan-Jin, Vice Governor of Liaoning Bing Zhigang, Singapore Ambassador to the People’s Republic of China Stanley Loh and his wife, as well as other officials from China and Singapore. The delegation was welcomed by Mr Alan Yau, CEO of Sembcorp China and Mr Yang Haidong, Sembcorp China’s Head of Asset Management for Northeast China.
PM Lee was briefed on Sembcorp’s presence in China, as well as on Sembcorp’s water treatment plant in Shenyang, which supplies 160,000 cubic metres per day of municipal water to a population of 175,000 in the Shenyang Economic & Technological Development Area. In 2012, the facility was the only one in China to be singled out for operational excellence by AquaFed – the international federation of private water operators – at the World Water Forum. AquaFed highlighted Sembcorp’s success in improving the operational and financial performance of the plant, such as reducing non-revenue water as well as energy consumption per unit of production.
This visit comes on the back of Sembcorp’s new deals to expand its wastewater treatment business in Liaoning, signed two days ago at the sidelines of the annual Singapore-Liaoning Economic and Trade Council meeting. Witnessed by Minister Tan Chuan-Jin and Executive Vice Governor of Liaoning Zhou Zhongxuan, the deals extend Sembcorp’s water solutions to industrial sites in Panjin, and will support the government in its efforts to accelerate the economic development of Liaoning under the “Liaoning Coastal Economic Belt Strategy”. They will also build Sembcorp’s presence in its key market of China, which currently spans 15 provinces across the country.
