Revolve Issues Year End Shareholder Update and Reports Q1 Financial and Operating Results

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Revolve Renewable Power Corp. (TSXV: REVV) ("Revolve" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update to shareholders and announce the filing of its financial and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2022.  

Steve Dalton, CEO of Revolve commented, "We are delighted to report on the considerable progress the Company has made over the course of the last eight (8) months since completion of our public listing on the TSXV."

"We have continued to develop and expand our Utility Scale project portfolio, which currently stands at 3.6GW across twelve (12) wind, solar & battery storage projects in the US and Mexico. Key milestones are being met on the various projects as we move closer towards reaching a ready-to-build (or "RTB") status in 2024 on our most advanced projects. We are expecting a very robust 2023 as we continue to support the development of our renewable energy portfolio to reach various RTB targets."

"The most significant development for the Company over the period has been the transition from being solely a project developer to becoming an independent power producer, generating electricity with recurring long-term revenue and cashflow from a growing renewable energy portfolio of commercial & industrial customers in Mexico."  

"This transition started with the announcement in May 2022 of a new division, Revolve Renewable Business Solutions, to focus on the fast-growing distributed generation (or "DG") market in Mexico and the US. To accelerate our entry into this market we successfully completed the acquisition of Centrica Business Solutions Mexico in August 2022. This provided the Company with a 2.85MW portfolio of operating rooftop solar and combined heat and power (or "CHP") projects along with a further 3MW CHP project that is under construction. The acquisition has provided a platform to quickly expand our pipeline of new DG project opportunities, which led to the signing of our first battery storage (or "BESS") project in September 2022. (https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/REVV/news/5377287865811312/Revolve_Grows_its_Distributed_Generation_Portfolio_by_an_Additional_32MWh) The 3.2MWh BESS project in Cancun, Mexico has increased our overall DG portfolio to 10MW of operating and under construction assets, while our project development pipeline is growing rapidly and now stands at over 60MW. Our target is to convert this development pipeline into signed projects during 2023, which will continue to grow both the revenue and EBITDA generated by this division."  

"Looking at the broader outlook for the renewable energy sector in North America, there were several positive announcements from the US and Mexican governments. We expect these announcements to act as a catalyst for accelerated growth in the sector in the near and longer term. The passing of the Inflation Reduction Act in the US last August provides both long term certainty on tax incentives to support the development of renewable energy projects as well as at least U$369B of new investment, which will be directed towards energy security and climate change with the goal to cut US carbon emissions by approximately 40% by 2030. We expect this to drive interest and demand for renewable energy development projects at all stages of development particularly as projects move towards RTB."

"Recently we have also seen a significant positive policy shift by the Mexican government, that follows a number of years of uncertainty for the renewable energy sector in the country. As part of the COP 27 proceedings, Mexico has pledged to reach 40GW of deployed wind and solar generation capacity by 2030 with the strategy of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 35%. In order to meet this 40GW target it will require the addition of 10GW of new renewable energy capacity over the next 8 years or 1.25GW per year. With Revolve's successful track record in Mexico and an advanced pipeline of competitive wind projects totaling 1.6GW, we anticipate more clarity from the government on private sector involvement in delivering this ambitious target." 

Key Highlights:

Utility Scale Development Portfolio:

• 250MW Parker Solar and Storage Project - Successful Completion of BLM Variance Process – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approved the project for further processing after the completion of the BLM variance process. The approval process consists of completion of an environmental review in accordance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Parker Project is a 250MW utility scale solar and storage project located in Arizona and enjoys great infrastructure in its vicinity. There is excellent access through existing state road network and proximity to transmission infrastructure with interconnection within one mile. The Parker Project is moving towards mid-stage of development with target ready to build timeline of 2024. Once ready this project has the capacity to provide electricity to an equivalent of 300,000 homes. (https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/REVV/news/5885556774207448/Revolve_Successfully_
