According to Bundit Sapianchai, BCPG President, the significant contributor was the full-quarter revenue recognition of new green power projects;
1). Hydropower plant “Nam San 3B” (45 MW) in Laos acquired in February 2020
2). Four solar power plants (20 MW) in Thailand acquired in August 2020
In addition, the solar power plants in Japan and hydropower plant “Nam San 3A” in Laos have made robust performance with higher power generation due to higher irradiation and higher rainfall, respectively, including lower administrative expense.

As of March 2021, the total assets of BCPG amounted to THB 51,512 million, a slight increase of 0.6% from the end of 2020, owing to an increase in investment in associate and subsidiaries, as well as goodwill and intangible assets based on USD as functional currency. The appreciate of foreign currency against THB also led to an increase in these items value.

“We have accomplished a sound start in Q1/2021. For the next quarter, we will enhance our position as a leader in digital energy business through the investments in potential startups. The investments will lead to the development of new smart energy solutions to meet increasing market demand on energy management.

The A- rating also paved the way for BCPG to various sources of loan, strengthening the Company’s investment plans in the future”, said Bundit.
