Aboitiz Power recovering after typhoon setbacks: report

Its distribution sales volumes rose 4.8% year-on-year.

Philippine-based Aboitiz Power's core net profit may have declined year-on-year in the third quarter of 2023, but brokerage firm CGS-CIMB, sees that the business has been recovering after drawbacks from Typhoon Odette's impact in 2021.

The power generation segment's energy sales grew 7.7% YoY but declined 2.8% QoQ due to lower spot prices in Q3 2023. However, its distribution sales volumes posted growth of 4.8% YoY and 0.6% QoQ.

The core net profit for the first nine months of 2023 increased by 45.2% to P26.6b, in line with expectations.

Aboitiz Power's management also sees value in maintaining a significant presence in the spot market, expecting continued high spot prices in fiscal year 2024. They are also investing in upgrading and expanding their power generation portfolio.

The business is also considering new investment opportunities, including the 796.5MW Caliraya-Botocan-Kalayaan hydropower project.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035
This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
