EDPR generated just over 10 terawatt hours (TWh) of clean energy in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 11% over the same period last year, due to geographical and technological diversification.
In the period, the company reached a total installed capacity of 14.8GW in renewable assets, with 1.7GW added in the last 12 months, including asset rotations.
In EDPR’s portfolio, Europe and North America represent 38% and 49%, respectively.
Europe represented 34% of the total output and North America 50%, while South America’s production more than doubled, mainly driven by a higher installed capacity in Brazil with the inauguration of Monte Verde, EDPR’s biggest renewable complex.
In the Asia Pacific region, production increased more than four times, “accelerating the energy transition in these markets and EDPR’s solar capacity”.
EDPR has also reached 5GW of capacity under construction, a 1GW addition in the last 12 months, with contributions from solar, wind and storage due to come on stream in the next few years.
In the first quarter of 2023, EDPR started the construction of its first project in Chile, a wind farm that will have around 80MW of renewable capacity, as well as its first project in the Netherlands (10MW), developed through Kronos Solar EDPR.
EDPR is committed to diversification of its technologies, with a focus on utility-scale solar and distributed generation projects, which already represents 12% of the portfolio.
Onshore wind represented 86% of EDPR’s net capacity and offshore wind 2%.
