TEL AVIV, Israel, May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enlight Renewable Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ: ENLT, TASE: ENLT) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.
“We delivered record results in the first quarter of 2023, with Revenue up 103%, Net Income up 275% and Adjusted EBITDA*up 118%, driven by the 810 MW of projects that went into operation over the past year. Moreover, we believe that we have strong visibility on future growth. With a further 1 GW and 1.7 GWh of projects under construction and an additional 2.1 GW and 1.8 GWh of projects in pre-construction, all of which are projected to reach commercial operation by the end of 2025, we believe our growth is poised to continue apace over the coming years”, said Gilad Yavetz, CEO of Enlight Renewable Energy.
“In addition, we believe our projects can earn above-market returns due to our expertise in greenfield development, coupled with the positive regulatory backdrop of the Inflation Reduction Act. During the quarter we secured 480 MW of power purchase agreement (“PPA”) amendments with an average price increase of 30% and signed 475 MW of new PPAs at attractive prices. This demonstrates our ability to maintain above-market returns, despite the higher interest rate environment,” Yavetz added.
