KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- Renewables represented 85% of electricity generated by EDP in 1Q21. The weight of electricity produced from renewable energy sources rose by 6 bps YoY, with this rise being mainly explained by the decrease in gas generation (-65% YoY), and also due to a 5% increase in wind generation.
- As of Mar-21, renewables represented 79% of EDP's installed capacity of 23.9 GW (EBITDA GW). Since the 1Q20, there were 1.07 GW of wind and solar net capacity added to the portfolio, of which +247 MW during this quarter (+290 MW including Equity MWs in wind Offshore). Another positive impact to the increase in renewables penetration in EDP's energy mix was the reduction of -2.02 GW in the installed capacity of CO2 emitting plants. The disposal of the 2 CCGT plants in Spain (0.8GW) and de shutdown of Sines coal plant (1.2GW), 6 hydro plants in Portugal (1.7 GW) explain the 10% decrease in the overall installed capacity.
- Hydro generation coefficient, in Portugal, was 28% above the historical average, this translated into an increase in the load factor of the Iberian hydro assets from 31% in 1Q20 to 36% in 1Q21. Wind load factors were flat YoY, reflecting the negative impact in US from the Polar Vortex and the Ercot event in February, and the recovery of wind resources in Europe and Brazil.
- Electricity distributed in Portugal declined 1.2% in 1Q21, although in January a record high demand was verified in the low voltage segment, the lockdown still had a negative impact on the rest of the voltage levels. In Spain, the number of clients connected to our electricity distribution networks has more than doubled in 1Q21, reflecting the acquisition of Viesgo in Dec-20. In Brazil, electricity distribution rose 4.4% YoY in 1Q21, this happens as a result of the high temperatures registered in the period and from the increase in number of clients.
- In the supply business, in Iberia, electricity volume sold declined 8.6% in 1Q21, and the number of clients fell 20.5% YoY. The sharp reduction in number of clients is mainly explained by the disposal, in 2020, of our retail energy supply activities, in Spain, resulting on a higher focus on the corporate segment.
