- Construction phase of 14.1 MW solar park in the Netherlands successfully completed
- High electricity prices since beginning of the year continued in March and April
- Warburg and Berenberg Research confirm buy recommendations and increase price targets
Gruenwald, May 19, 2022 – Pacifico Renewables Yield AG (ISIN: DE000A2YN371) (the “Company”), an independent producer of electricity from renewable sources, acquired a solar park under construction near Hernen, the Netherlands, with a total capacity of approximately 14.1 MW in October 2021. Construction of the solar park was completed on schedule in the first quarter of 2022 and final acceptance occurred this week. The entire solar park had already been producing electricity and benefiting from the Dutch government subsidy scheme (SDE+) since the beginning of February. Similar to the German feed-in tariff, the Dutch subsidy regime allows participation in market prices for electricity which exceed the government-guaranteed subsidies.
With a portfolio capacity of 30 MW, the Netherlands is the third largest market for the Company after Germany and Poland. Co-CEO Christoph Strasser: “We are pleased to oversee the successful completion of another project developed by our strategic partner Pacifico Energy Partners GmbH where we invested into the project during the construction phase.”
High electricity prices continued into March and April
In January and February 2022, increased electricity prices in combination with good wind conditions led to sales revenues approximately €2.9 million above projected figures. Higher-than-expected electricity prices continued into March and April. As a result, weaker-than-expected wind conditions in March were more than offset by high electricity prices and some German and Dutch solar parks were able to capture electricity prices above the feed-in tariffs. The Company also benefited from high electricity prices in April, where production was largely on target. As a result, the Company continues to operate within its latest revenue guidance range of €33.0 million to €43.0 million released in March.
