Securing assets it is. Given that replacement cost per Kw for new plant would be around $1.4m/Kw, and Alinta have until recently had 3000Mw, then it translates to $4.2b
Even if a distressed value is realised at a miserable $900k/Kw, it translates to $2.7b
Then there is the customer base >580,000 customers factored at the very cheap value of $700 each, which translates to more than $400m. More than likely though, the customer base is worth far more
It goes on, but logically the American company, TPG, have entered the fray for good reason.
