Adani Green Energy, part of the Adani Group, on Friday reported consolidated net profit of Rs 21.75 crore for the first quarter ended June 30, 2020, supported by higher revenues. The company had posted a net loss of Rs 97.44 crore in April-June of 2019-20, it said in a regulatory filing.

Revenue and EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation) from power supply grew by 10 per cent YoY and 12 per cent YoY, respectively, on the back of added capacities, steady Solar capacity utilisation factor (CUF) and improved Wind CUF, the company said.

Total net export increased by 24 per cent YoY to 1,382 MW in June quarter of the current fiscal on the back of capacity addition of 425 MW and steady CUF performance.

Solar CUF remained steady at 24.8 per cent, supported by strong plant availability, grid availability and solar irradiation. Wind CUF increased from 35.8 per cent to 40.1 per cent due to improved plant availability and high grid availability.
