Key messages
Last week, we had the privilege to join the auspicious
main post ceremony for Pak Phanang wind farm.
IFEC’s pilot wind farm project in Southern Thailand.
The project will boost both investor and industry
confidence. The key highlight from our trip was the
strong support the local community and NGOs are
giving the project. We maintain our rating of
Outperform on the counter with a target price of
Bt17.40, our best case scenario target is Bt27.00.
The previous panic selling on the counter is a good
chance to accumulate at a lower cost.
Event
Last week, we visited IFEC’s first wind farm. It is located in Pak Phanang district, Nakhon
Si Thammarat province. The project is under construction and expected to COD in late
3Q15. We also visited the wind farm in Koh Yai district, Songkhla Province and talked
with an NGO leader.
Impact
Pak Phanang wind park, boosts investor confidence
The auspicious main post ceremony for the Pak Phanang wind farm project was held April
3. We have seen some of the wind turbines manufactured by Goldwind that will be used
in the project (Figure 3). The project is expected to COD in late 3Q15, delayed from
midyear, as management decided to adjust the install capacity to 10.4MW from 10.0MW
to maximize the power production yield.
Three wind farms with capacity of 270MW ready to start, waiting for PPA
Inter Far East Wind International (IWIND), IFEC’s subsidiary, already has completed the
feasibility study on another three sites, each with 90MW capacity. The company has LOI
for all three sites and is awaiting PPA, which is expected to be launched by midyear. A
key highlight from the trip was the strong support from the local community, which is a
key obstacle to other power plant projects. During our trip to Koh Yai district, Songkla
province, we had a chance to talk with a local NGO leader. He believes IWIND’s wind
farm could stimulate the local economy as it will be a new landmark for tourists to
Southern Thailand.
Valuation & Action
IFEC’s share price dropped 29% in March after reaching our base case scenario target
price. We believe this was from profit taking (IFEC’s share price has risen around 80%
since KGI initiated coverage on November 4, 2014) and investors fear selling pressure
from capital raising with right offering (RO) at a cost of Bt4.0, which began trading
during mid-March. Additionally, there were rumors on the street about IFEC’s projects
during the price fall. We believe investor confidence will grow if the first wind farm
project CODs in late 3Q15. We recommend to accumulate the counter and maintain a
rating of Outperform with a target price of Bt17.40, while our best case scenario target
price is Bt27.00 (Figure 13).
Risks
Delays to any of IFEC’s projects could cause a significant mismatch to our forecast
recognized revenue and changes in plans would affect our valuation.

Pak Phanang wind park, a new era of wind farm in South
Figure 1 shows the location of the company’s wind farm in Pak Phanang district with
total area of ~200 rai and is located on the beach (Figure 2-5). We had the privilege to
join the auspicious main post ceremony for the project (Figure 6-9). The ceremony
implies the project is starting up. According to Dr. Sumet Suttapukti, IWIND’s
management, onshore wind farm projects normally take 6 months to construct and we
expect the project to COD in late 3Q15 or early 4Q15.
The management plans to design the wind farm to be a wind park, which will be a new
landmark for tourists to Southern Thailand. The park is designed by Rafa Plus Architect.
The hidden value for the project is the value of the land, if the project is a new landmark
for tourists in the future.
Although, the project has a value of only Bt0.32 per share, Figure 13, success for the
project would be a key to opening a new era for wind farms in Southern Thailand.
Currently, all commercial wind farms in Thailand are located in the Northeast.

Another three larger wind farms, each 90MW
IWIND is studying another three wind farms in Southern Thailand; i) Koh Yai district,
Songkhla province, ii) Ron Phibun district, Nakhon Si Thammarat province, and iii) Bang
Lang Dam, Yala province. All three sites already have LOI and are awaiting PPA, which is
expected to be launched at midyear.
We had chance to visit the wind farm at Koh Yai and talked with an NGO leader during
the trip. We sense that IWIND’s wind farm at Koh Yai has strong support from the local
community, because the locals and NGO believe IWIND’s wind farm could be developed
to be a new landmark for tourists in Koh Yai and stimulate the local economy. Protests
by the local community and NGO are a key obstacle for other wind farms.
