MANAGING DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
Dear Shareholder,
It is with great pleasure that I present to you the quarterly report for WindForce PLC, for the period ended on 31st March 2022. Despite it being a tumultuous time, both globally and locally, I am pleased to report that we have yielded encouraging results.
Firstly, the Group recorded a consolidated revenue of LKR 4.39 billion at the end of the period. This contributed to a 2% growth when compared to the LKR 4.31 billion recorded in the previous financial year. The bottom line for the period was recorded as
1.89 billion, showing a YoY decline of 12% in comparison with the LKR 2.15 billion recorded last year. The decline is due to the net loss of 296 million, arising from the fair value adjustment of foreign loans and foreign short-term investments.
Wind Energy Sector
With the Hiruras wind power plants that will utilise the Mannar district's high wind density approaching completion by December, our wind energy portfolio has a bright future ahead. Compared to the previous year, the revenue for the wind energy sector saw a YoY decline of 8%. This was due to the tariff rate drop in Daily Life and PowerGen, as the two project companies entered their second tier in operation. This decline was also partly due to Joule and Beta power companies operating at limited capacity, due to blade damage caused by lightning strikes. However, with repairs currently underway, the issue will be rectified by the next immediate quarter, allowing the companies to function at full capacity again.
Solar Energy Sector
A YoY growth of 15% was seen in comparison to the previous financial year in the solar sector. This was possible due to significant contributions from the Tororo Solar Plant, which was commissioned in August 2020, and Sky Solar (Pvt) Ltd., which was acquired in September 2021. In addition, we are confident that the 10 MW ground mounted solar plant in Vavunathivu, which is set to be commissioned in mid-July this year, will successfully contribute to this sector as well.
Hydropower Sector
A YoY revenue growth of 14% was recorded in the hydropower sector. Hydro generation volumes grew significantly by 16% when compared to the previous financial year, due to increased and consistent rainfall in the country. These favourable weather conditions allowed the Terraqua International, Energy Reclamation, HPD Power and Peak Power plants to garner exemplary performances in the financial year ended 31st March 2022.
Expansion
As we look ahead on our journey, there are a multitude of projects we are optimistic about. As mentioned before, the Solar Universe Vavunathivu 10MW ground solar plant is expected to be commissioned in July 2022, after a brief delay due to the prevailing national economic climate. This state-of-the-art plant will increase WindForce's solar energy portfolio capacity to 134MW.
Additionally, the proposed wind power plants undertaken by Hiruras Power (Pvt) Ltd, will be completed by the end of 2022. Located in the Mannar district, these plants will benefit from the area's high wind density and will increase WindForce's wind energy portfolio capacity by 15MW.
Finally, negotiations are underway for the development of a 30 MW solar and 7.5 MW BES system in Mbacke, Senegal and for a 30MW Solar plant expansion in Tororo, Uganda.
The projects developed this year in Sri Lanka will provide 25 MW of uninterrupted, renewable energy to a struggling National Grid, which will undoubtedly benefit the Sri Lankan homes in dire need of electricity.
Awards
Along with our exciting future, we are gratified by the recognition WindForce receives, both nationally and internationally. We were recently presented with the prestigious gold award in the Large- Scale Infrastructure and Utilities category, at the National Business Excellence Awards, organised by the National Chamber of Commerce, Sri Lanka.
During this quarter, WindForce was also able to comply with the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), governed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). With the adoption of the CDM, WindForce possesses the ability to issue Carbon Emission Reduction credits (CER); one of the first renewable energy companies to do so in Sri Lanka.
In conclusion, our motivation and optimism towards our ultimate goal of a greener future has never been stronger. As we continue to push forward to achieve our goals, we are eternally grateful for the confidence that you, as a shareholder, have placed on us and our vision. We look forward to continuing our journey together, as we strive for a better world for all.
