Back to VALUATIONS. PEAKERS VS MCAP1 Mar 2022 08:47
Let’s describe again what the gas peaker valuation implications are:
1) All in revenues achieved by peakers is of c£100/Kw. That would include the capacity payment of £31/KW. Recall the capacity payment is a guaranteed revenue and a minimum revenue to keep your asset on standby, and you get to make up the difference with arbitrage opportunities and ancillary services.
2) The other gas peaker WILL participate at the next auction. (They take place semi annually, if I understand correctly). It hadn’t participated in this last one.
All in all, the company had tales of £1.5m revs per year (over 15y) from capacity payment. At £100/Kw you are looking at revenues of £4.5m/yr!
At 10x PE this ONE peaker is worth ALONE 2.5x the current market cap.
