- REVENUES: increased due to a higher average sales price (+5 %) achieved in spite of lower sales of energy and power, which were a result of lower demand from regulated customers within the framework of the mobilization restrictions placed during the second wave of COVID-19.
- EBITDA: stayed in line with the increase in revenue.
- NET INCOME: increased due to the EBITDA result, despite a negative effect of the exchange rate and a lower financial result.
- DEBT WITH THIRD PARTIES: increased due to a leasing operation to finance the system of large-capacity batteries for energy storage at the Ventanilla thermal power plant (BESS Ventanilla).
- CAPEX: decreased due to the rescheduling of maintenance work in comparison to March 2020. These works will be carried out in the following months. Beyond this, the company is executing its investment plan, mainly focused on the automation and digitization of its operations to guarantee the continuity of electricity generation.
