Citicore’s net income up 9% to $15.47m in 2023

Thanks to higher revenues driven by the sale of electricity.

Citicore Renewable Energy Corp. (CREC) has recorded a 9% increase in its net earnings to reach $15.47m (PHP910m) in 2023 as its three main revenue streams push sales up in the previous year.

In a bourse filing, CREC said its revenue jumped 32% to $62.56m (PHP3.68b) last year. This is composed of sale of electricity, which is currently the largest profit driver, lease income arising from operating lease agreements of its subsidiary Citicore Energy REIT Corp. (CREIT), and service fees.

Its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation also improved 10% to $25.67m (PHP1.51b) last year.

Currently, CREC has an installed capacity of 285 megawatts (MW) from its 10 solar power facilities located across the Philippines.

CREC said it remains committed to achieve five gigawatts of capacity in five years. The company said it is constructing the first gigawatt of its goal in eight project locations nationwide.

The Philippine government recently awarded the company the largest solar capacity of 430 megawatt, alternating current (MWac) for ground-mounted solar and 362 MWac of onshore wind. 

Meanwhile, the company completed its 115 MW Arayat-Mexico Solar Plant, a joint venture with AC Energy, in March 2023. CREC also secured a partnership to supply 90 MW of SM Prime Holdings’ power requirements from the Tuy, Batangas solar plant.

CREC is also boosting its pipeline capacity through financing deals, namely CREIT’s oversubscribed $76.50m (PHP4.5b) maiden ASEAN Green Bond Offering and the $100m Mezzanine Construction Green Loan Facility structured by Pentagreen Capital.

In June, CREC completed its initial public offering and listing on the Philippine Stock Exchange. It offered nearly 1.8 common shares with a 10% overallotment option of up to 178.57 million secondary common shares valued at $411.5m (PHP2.70) apiece.

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.
