6 May , 2024  

DTEK RENEWABLES BV’s net loss last year amounted to UAH 0.547 billion, which is 29 times less than in 2022 (UAH 15.841 billion).

According to the company’s report published on the stock exchange, its revenue increased by 26.5% (by UAH 0.782 billion) compared to 2022 to UAH 3.728 billion, and gross profit amounted to UAH 2.57 billion against a gross loss of UAH 12.157 billion.

In particular, the group increased revenue from electricity sales by solar power plants (SPPs) at the feed-in tariff by 68% due to its increase and the impact of the hryvnia’s appreciation against the euro, while a 65% decrease in revenue from sales by wind power plants (WPPs) was due to the absence of generating stations located in the occupied territories.

According to the report, at the end of last year, DTEK RENEWABLES’ total assets amounted to UAH 25.841 billion against UAH 26.331 billion a year earlier, and its equity decreased from UAH 3.394 billion to UAH 2.93 billion.

The company states that it has violated certain financial and non-financial covenants on bank and non-bank debt obligations with a nominal amount of EUR222 million as of the end of 2023, and these debts have been classified as current liabilities.

The green bonds are scheduled to mature on November 12, 2024. The Group’s management intends to start negotiations with the bondholders to extend the maturity of the green bonds to a later date and expects to reach a compromise on the terms.

In 2023, the group produced 999 GWh, which corresponds to the estimated amount of avoided CO2 emissions of 1062 thousand tons, compared to 881 GWh and 937 thousand tons of CO2 in 2022, and 2117 GWh and 2250 thousand tons of CO2 in 2021.

DTEK Renewables plans to continue its operations in line with current plans and its long-term strategy until 2030. The Group plans to develop projects in Poltava region (650 MW) and in the south of Ukraine (up to 650 MW) over the next 5 years.
