VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 28, 2023 /CNW/ - Revolve Renewable Power Corp. (TSXV: REVV) ("Revolve" or the "Company") an owner, operator and developer of renewable energy projects, is pleased to announce its unaudited financial and operating results for the quarter and six months ending December 31, 2022 (Q2 FY2023). All amounts reported are in US dollars.
In Q2 FY2023 the Company continued to make strong progress in both its utility scale development and Distributed Generation (or "DG") business units. As at the quarter end the Company had an operational DG portfolio of 2.85MW, DG projects under construction of 6.2MW and utility scale projects under development of 3,600MW.
Key business and financial highlights for Q2 FY2023 included:
- Renewable energy generation for the quarter was 492,563kWh and 675,211kWh for the six months ending December 31, 2022. This represents the Company's first full quarter of energy generation since the completion of the acquisition of the Centrica Business Solutions Mexico portfolio in August 2022. We expect further optimization of these assets over the coming months.
- Distributed Generation assets under construction of 6.2MW consisting of a 3MW CHP (or "combined heat and power") project and a 3.2MWh battery storage project. These are both expected to be commissioned and revenue generating during Q3 FY2023.
- Distributed Generation project pipeline of 65.8MW consisting of a wide range of new rooftop solar, battery storage and CHP opportunities with industrial customers across a number of different industries. As at the date of this release this pipeline has increased to 71.8MW, which the Company is working to convert into signed power purchase agreements / projects under construction in the short term.
- Utility scale projects under development of 3,600MW as at the 31 December 2022, which has since been reduced to 2,350MW as at the date of this release following the successful sale of the Bouse Solar & Storage and Parker Solar & Storage projects to ENGIE on January 11, 2023 (https://revolve-renewablepower.com/revolve-announces-sale-of-1250mw-of-utility-scale-solar-and-storage-projects). The ENGIE transaction included an upfront payment of US$2m to the Company, which will be reflected in our Q3 FY2023 financial results. Further milestone payments are expected to be received during the calendar year 2023. The completion of this transaction brings the total revenue generated by the utility scale development business to over US$19m since the Company was founded.
- Energy Generation Revenue from the Company's portfolio of operating distributed generation assets was US$124,339 with a cost of sales of US$26,506 resulting in a gross profit of US$97,833for the six month period ended December 31, 2022, an increase of 405% from revenues of US$24,576 reported in the first quarter.
- The Company completed a project financing facility with RE Royalties for C$1.86m (secured loan and royalty agreement) which was partly used to fund the Company's 3.2MWh BESS project in Cancun which is expected to be in operation during the next quarter (https://revolve-renewablepower.com/revolve-provides-update-on-its-3-2mwh-bess-project-in-cancun-mexico/).
- Cash on balance sheet as at December 31, 2022 was US$1,140,492, which has since been supplemented by the US$2m upfront payment received from ENGIE as outlined above.

Steve Dalton, CEO, commented, "Our Q2 FY2023 results provide shareholders and new investors with a clear view of our business model in action. We now have a base of operating assets generating recurring revenue, new assets under construction to add to this revenue base and a utility scale development strategy that has delivered another significant transaction with a global utility company. We remain excited by the pipeline of new projects that the Company is continuing to advance both in the distributed generation and utility scale markets and we look forward to updating shareholders on these in due course."
Revolve was formed in 2012 to capitalize on the growing global demand for renewable power. Revolve develops utility-scale wind, solar and battery storage projects in the US and Mexico with a portfolio of approx. 2,350MW under development. The Company has a second division, Revolve Renewable Business Solutions, which installs and operates sub 20MW "behind the meter" distributed generation (or "DG") assets. Revolve Renewable Business Solutions currently has an operating portfolio of 2.85MW with an additional 6.2MW under construction phase.
Revolve has an accomplished management team with a demonstrated track record of taking projects from "greenfield" through to "ready to build" (or "RTB") status and successfully concluding project sales to large operators of utility-scale renewable energy projects.

Going forward, Revolve is targeting 5,000MW of utility-scale projects under development in the US and Mexico, and in parallel is rapidly growing its portfolio of revenue-generating DG (distributed generation) assets.
