Citicore’s profit slips 21% to $4.73m in H1

Meanwhile, revenue was up 13% thanks to higher electricity sales.

The Philippines’ Citicore Renewable Energy Corporation (CREC) said its net income attributable to shareholders fell 21% to $4.73m (PHP269.92m) in the first half of the year (H1) from $6.07m (PHP345.91m) recorded in the same period last year.

This was despite a 13% increase in its revenue to $36.67m (PHP2.09b) driven by the 15% growth in electricity sales which accounted for 83% of CREC’s revenue during the period.

Electricity sales is largely composed of revenues from commercial and industrial customers which rose by 11%, whilst the rest includes revenues from the government’s feed-in-tariff programme, and sales through the wholesale electricity spot market.

“CREC attributes this robust performance to our portfolio of 10 operating solar power facilities with a combined gross operating capacity of 285 megawatts (MW), making us the second largest solar platform in the country,” said CREC President and CEO Oliver Tan.

CREC listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange in June. It was able to raise $93m (PHP5.3b) which included a $12.5m investment from the UK Government’s MOBILIST programme.

“The full impact of the power generation revenues will be felt next year since projects currently under construction will start to be energised by then. We will focus on adding solar capacity and looking at other opportunities that take us closer to our 5 gigawatts in 5 years goal,” Tan said.

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.
