News - I really like the sound of this joint campaign launch from RNWH's subsidiaries "to meet the ambitious electrification and decarbonisation targets set by government and Network Rail". Catchy name too :o))



"15/06/2021

ARQ, which includes Amco-Giffen, REL (Rail Electrification Limited – the latest addition to Renew Holdings Plc) and QTS, will provide a truly integrated self-delivery model for the UK rail network. It will help to meet the ambitious electrification and decarbonisation targets set by government and Network Rail.

Decarbonisation is a huge challenge for us all over the next 30 years, as we seek to reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuel consumption. The UK government aims to remove all diesel-only trains by 2041, with a legally binding commitment to net zero by 2050. It has been recognised by the industry that, together, we must do more to be part of the solution to climate change.

In fact, to decarbonise the UK rail network completely, 13,000 single track kilometres (approximately 450km per year) will need to be electrified by 2050 to achieve net zero. However, it has been identified that from 2019-2020 only 251km was electrified.

ARQ therefore aims to play a key role in accelerating this change, leading the way in helping Network Rail to respond to the UK decarbonisation agenda within our country’s rail infrastructure.

Individually, each of the three businesses coming together to create ARQ have been enabling electrification programmes across the UK for several years. Now, combining their respective strengths within our unique family of multi-disciplinary engineering businesses will help us to collectively support essential UK infrastructure while gaining a key competitive edge.

The new partnership is led by Vinny O’Holloran, who says: “We understand that electrification is a significant contributor towards meeting Network Rail’s decarbonisation commitments, and that things have to change to drive efficiency. We want to be part of this change; to help drive it forward.”

Looking good - new highs, and buying coming in from 673p up to the full 680p offer price.

[wad collector] 14/6/2021 08:24

Xd on Thurday, but, at 4.83p, not sure it will hit the share price much!

[mayers] 10/6/2021 17:50

Well done hubrad. Thanks for the update.

[hubrad] 10/6/2021 17:18

Still on the go, Mayers, in fact I got to play a stringed instrument with them a couple of years back. Excellent do!

[mayers] 10/6/2021 15:33

What ever happened to the Colliery band?

[johnrxx99] 10/6/2021 10:00

Grimethorpe, what a wondrous name. Takes me back to those Thatcher days of bashing miners and destroying British industry.

Sorry Riv, I'm just too old :-)

Cheers bsdjj, good news.

Peel Hunt upgraded price target to 750p from 700p. Forecasts unchanged but say they have more confidence in the outlook.

[rivaldo] 09/6/2021 08:24

This reads well from VP Group's results yesterday - RNWH are involved in each and every one of these sectors and projects:

"Major infrastructure sectors, such as water, rail and transmission are primed for escalating growth in the coming year, added to which other major projects such as HS2 and Hinkley Point will continue to drive demand."

Very good news for J Browne from last month covering the next five years:



Extracts:

"J Browne Construction Awarded 5-Year Above Ground Framework Agreement with Affinity Water
May 20, 2021

J Browne Construction is delighted to announce a 5-year extension to our existing Above Ground framework agreement with Affinity Water. The agreement is one of four infrastructure frameworks awarded to key partners, which combined are worth circa £100 million during AMP7....

.....These four contracts make up a significant part of the multi-million AMP7 Capital Investment Programme and will cover all regions served by Affinity Water. Under this framework the four key partners will be delivering over 100 different projects providing civil engineering, M&E, process treatment and pumping station projects.

Steve Plumb, Director of Asset Strategy and Capital Delivery said: “Affinity Water is pleased to sign this long-term agreement with J Browne Construction to support in the delivery of our challenging above ground assets programme. These frameworks adopt a more collaborative approach focussing on achieving shared programme value and efficiencies. We look forward to a successful relationship with each partner”.

Nice article about RNWH with rather positive conclusions:



Extracts:

"One of the quality metrics for Renew Holdings is that it passes 8 of the 9 financial tests in the Piotroski F-Score. The F-Score is a world-class accounting-based checklist for finding stocks with an improving financial health trend. A good F-Score suggests that the company has strong signs of quality."

"A rule of thumb for a reasonable Earnings Yield might be 5%, and the Earnings Yield for Renew Holdings is currently 6.58%.

In summary, good quality and relatively cheap valuations are pointers to those stocks that are some of the most appealing to contrarian value investors. It's among these shares that genuine mis-pricing can be found. Once the market recognises that these quality firms are on sale, those prices often rebound."

Better hold the front page WFC!

IC ran an article at the weekend on green energy and pointing out the inevitable role of nuclear to fill the gap before more sustainable energy sources dominate the supply. It pointed out the long tail of decommissioning and the high bar to entry , mentioning RNWH in the sector. Not really news but highlighting the strong position.

[wfcreserves] 04/6/2021 17:55

@wad collector

There was another zero volume trade today so insignificant they couldn't work out whether it was a buy or sell.

This looks like very good news - two "multi million pound" contracts for the Nuclear Decommissioning (NDL) consortium which includes RNWH's Shepley Engineers at the nuclear decommissioning project at Dounreay.

These are obviously good news in themselves, but being the first major contract wins for NDL under the Decommissioning Services Framework (DSF) should also bode well for more and bigger wins in the coming years given the £billions of work which will be necessary:



Extracts:

"NDL consortium wins two decommissioning projects at Dounreay
3 June 2021

The UK-based Nuclear Decommissioning Ltd (NDL) consortium has won a multi million pound design contract related to the Prototype Fast Reactor Facility (PFR) decommissioning project at Dounreay in Scotland. Joint venture group NDL brings together four nuclear decommissioning businesses – James Fisher Nuclear (JFN), Shepley Engineers, React Engineering and Tetra Tech – appointed to support the clean-up and demolition of former experimental fast reactor site at Dounreay, being caried out by Dounreay Site Restoration Ltd (DSRL) on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA).

This is the first major contract win for NDL under the Decommissioning Services Framework (DSF). The removal of irradiated fuel (IF) from site is a key goal for NDA and will significantly advance decommissioning progress on site. The consortium will be working collaboratively with DSRL to provide all scheme designs for plant, equipment and systems....

....NDL has also won a multi-million pound project related to decommissioning strategy for the Highly Active Liquor Storage and Evaporation Facility (HALSEF) at Dounreay. The NDL consortium partners will develop an integrated concept and scheme decommissioning plans for HALSEF. JNF said key to this approach will be enhanced stakeholder engagement at every stage, with NDL and DSRL working in collaboration to deliver a successful outcome. The decommissioning strategy will adopt a ‘Waste Informed Decommissioning’ approach to optimise waste streams throughout the decommissioning process, to minimise cost and required Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) storage provisions."

About as insignificant as you can get!

[wfcreserves] 02/6/2021 09:37

What’s the significance if any of three reported trades at different prices but nil volume?

[rivaldo] 02/6/2021 08:13

Even better :o)) Cheers (and corrected).

Bullish coverage from Shore Capital - they have a 740p target price:



"Renew worthy of a bigger rerating, says Shore Capital

Engineer Renew (RNWH) is a less risky business than the market is giving it credit for, says Shore Capital.

Analyst Tom Fraine retained his ‘buy’ recommendation on the stock after the group acquired engineering services company Rail Electrification for £5.3m, expanding its capabilities in the electrification of train lines.

‘We continue to believe Renew has a much lower risk profile than the market perceives, possibly due to associations with peers servicing much larger fixed contracts,’ said Fraine.

‘Renew’s ability to control costs and resilience during the pandemic has been much greater than the majority of industrials and worthy of an even greater rerating. We believe Renew represents a good opportunity for investors seeking to benefit from the UK government’s commitment to invest £640bn in infrastructure over the next five years.’"

A good article about today's acquisition here, with much more detail than in the RNS - an impressive client list for a small company, which must be a great base from which to win some of the huge additional electrification work coming along:



Extracts:

"REL provides services and road rail plant for the installation and commissioning of overhead line electrification (OLE) in both the light and heavy rail infrastructure sectors across the UK. Clients include Costain, ABC, Crossrail and Hochteif"

"The REL team, including the management trio of Scott Kernachan, Mark Potts and Kenny Barr, will join QTS at its Scottish HQ in Drumclog, South Lanarkshire."

"By adding REL to the QTS Group, we are joining forces with a leading business in this area, which will be a great benefit to the work that we deliver for our clients."

Scott Kernachan added: "Through this deal, we are opening up the future of REL to even greater possibilities. As QTS already has its Principal Contractor license, and a number of frameworks in place, it really transforms the opportunities available for us as experts in electrification."

[wad collector] 01/6/2021 10:31

That is a lot of rail line to electrify! I see the estimates for electrification costs come in @ £0.5M to £2M a km . So even with economy of scale and experience pushing prices down to the lowest level that would be £7.5 Billion . Good to have a chunk of that contract , even a small fraction....

[rivaldo] 01/6/2021 07:31

Looks like a bargain acceleration into the overhead electrification sector - with much of the consideration dependent on performance.

There's likely to be huge amounts of work being doled out soon in this area:

"As part of the UK Government's commitment to delivering a carbon neutral rail network by 2040 for England and Wales and by 2035 for Scotland, it is estimated that there will be around 15,000 single track kilometres of new electrification carried out across Network Rail's controlled infrastructure over this period. The recently released Williams Rail Review states that electrification is likely to be the main way of decarbonising the rail network."

Acquisition in rail electrification:-

Paul Scott, Chief Executive of Renew, commented:

"The rail network has a crucial part to play in supporting the UK's commitment to Net Zero 2050 and this acquisition will help enable Renew to play a bigger part in Britain's green economic recovery. REL is a highly regarded business with a strong track record and will enable us to broaden our service offering within our Rail business. Our existing multidisciplinary rail capability, complemented by the electrification expertise of REL, leaves Renew ideally positioned to play its part in delivering a decarbonised railway. Rail electrification offers attractive long term structural growth opportunities underpinned by highly visible committed regulatory spend in a sector that we know extremely well. I am delighted to welcome the management and staff of REL to the Renew family."
