First Gen Corp. saw its net income attributable to its parent grow by 29% year on year to P4.01 billion ($84 million) in the first quarter, thanks to higher recurring earnings from its natural gas and renewable energy (RE) portfolios.
In a statement, the Lopez-led power generation company said it generated P3.8 billion ($78 million) in recurring net income in the first three months of 2021, a 21% increase from a year ago’s P3.3 billion ($65 million), “from the operations of its 3,495 MW clean, low-carbon, and renewable portfolio.”
First Gen said it also benefited from new contracts, and lower operating and interest expenses.
