AMSTERDAM and OSLO, Norway, April 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MPC Energy Solutions (MPCES, Company) today announces its Q1 2023 results. The quarter was marked by several milestones including connecting three more projects to the power grid and signing long-term off-take agreements for new projects. Revenues and operating profits increased significantly compared to Q1 2022.

"The results of the first quarter underline the scale-up we can expect from our business going forward and these effects will become even more visible as the year progresses. We continue to build more power plants, expand our development backlog and grow our revenues and operating income. MPCES is in a stronger position now than at any time since the IPO in early 2021," says Stefan H.A. Meichsner, Chief Financial Officer of MPCES.

The Company develops, builds, owns and operates renewable energy projects, including solar PV and wind farms as well as hybrid and energy efficiency solutions, in Latin America and the Caribbean.
