Amsterdam/Oslo - 3 March 2022 - "2021 was an eventful year for MPC Energy
Solutions. We made significant progress and expanded our broad portfolio of
renewable energy assets in Latin America and the Caribbean. And now, in Q1 2022,
we are reaching another important milestone, as our first projects become
operational and start generating revenue," said CEO of MPC Energy Solutions
Martin Vogt.
With the renowned German investment manager MPC Capital as its sponsor and
largest shareholder, MPC Energy Solutions is driving the transition to renewable
energy with focus on Latin America and the Caribbean - regions that are at the
forefront of renewable energy ambitions. The market opportunity is estimated at
more than 45 GW in wind and solar alone by 2030 with a growth rate of 14.3%. MPC
Energy Solutions has a dedicated and experienced team on the ground, with
projects in seven countries to bring clean and affordable energy to developing
markets.
"Latin America and the Caribbean are among the most attractive geographies for
solar and wind power, and at the same time governments are highly focused on the
transition to renewable energy. We are proud to be a key partner for these
countries in a region where the consequences of climate change are more severe
than in many other places on the planet," said Martin Vogt.
Among the Company's main achievements during its first year after the IPO was
the construction start of four different projects in Colombia, El Salvador, and
on the island of St. Kitts and Nevis. MPC Energy Solutions also signed contracts
for the acquisition of two assets in Mexico and Puerto Rico, respectively, and
established strategic partnership with US-based C&I focused developer Enernet
Global as well as with Swiss-based energy storage solutions company Leclanché
SA.
"With the completed acquisition in Mexico, our company has reached an important
milestone earlier this year. We are starting to generate revenues and returns on
the investments we made. Our project portfolio is diversified and of excellent
quality, with average EBITDA margins expected to exceed 75%. The region and its
growth potential is attractive for us and our shareholders," said Vogt.
Attached to this press release and ahead of its annual report which will be
released on 20 April 2022, MPC Energy Solutions publishes its preliminary and
unaudited financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2021 this
morning. The financial performance in 2021 is in line with management's
expectations, in a year focused on ramping up the organization, progressing
project development, and making first investments. The company did not generate
revenues in its first full year of operations yet, and ended 2021 with a
negative operating income (EBIT) of USD 3.1 million and a net loss of USD 2.8
million. Total assets amounted to USD 83.9 million. "We are well financed to be
able to deliver on our advanced portfolio. We have no long-term financial debt,
and at the end of 2021, we had a cash position of USD 56.8 million," mentioned
Vogt.
