Marmen to restart wind tower production for 350-MW Quebec project
Sep 18, 2024 16:11 CESTCanada’s TransAlta Renewables Inc (TSE:RNW) last week reported increased adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022, mainly thanks to the addition of new power generation capacity and favourable weather.
The independent power producer (IPP) posted adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of CAD 139 million (USD 107.4m/EUR 102.2m), booking a 13% rise from a year earlier. Its performance in the three months benefitted from higher winds in Canada and the US and assets that were bought or commissioned in 2021.
However, the ongoing outage at the 167-MW Kent Hills wind complex in Brunswick province, Canada, weighed on the results as no revenues were generated by the facility. After a turbine collapse at the site last year, rehabilitation works are ongoing with the aim of bringing the wind parks online in the second half of 2023.
More details about the company’s financial results are available in the table below.
Amounts in CAD million | Q1 2022 | Q1 2021 |
Revenues | 143 | 126 |
Adjusted EBITDA | 139 | 123 |
Net profit attributable to common shareholders | 41 | 52 |
Free cash flow | 108 | 99 |
Cash available for distribution (CAFD) | 90 | 90 |
During the reporting period, TransAlta Renewables added 428 MW of contracted growth generation to its fleet and its power plants produced 1,310 GWh of electricity, as compared to 1,109 GWh a year before.
The Calgary-based company said it continues to maintain a strong financial position, with access to more than CAD 900 million in liquidity, including CAD 278 million of cash on hand.
