Thermal Power PLFs Remain Strong Despite Demand-Supply Gap

According to a recent analysis by India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra), thermal power Plant Load Factors (PLFs) are expected to maintain robust levels despite ongoing mismatches in power demand and supply. This assessment underscores the resilience of thermal power generation in meeting electricity needs amid fluctuating market dynamics.

Ind-Ra's report highlights that thermal PLFs are likely to remain healthy due to consistent operational efficiencies and sustained demand from various sectors. Despite occasional challenges in matching supply with fluctuating demand patterns, thermal power plants are poised to sustain their contribution to India's energy mix.

The analysis attributes the stable performance of thermal PLFs to strategic operational management and proactive capacity utilisation measures undertaken by power generation companies. These efforts have enabled thermal power plants to navigate through demand variations and supply constraints effectively.

Furthermore, Ind-Ra emphasises the critical role of thermal power in maintaining grid stability and meeting base load requirements, especially in periods of peak electricity consumption. This reliability underscores the sector's significance in India's energy security framework.

Looking ahead, the resilience demonstrated by thermal power PLFs suggests continued investment confidence in the sector, despite evolving regulatory and market challenges. As stakeholders navigate towards sustainable energy transitions, thermal power's steadfast performance underscores its ongoing relevance in India's energy landscape.

Shoals' Q3 2024 revenue falls 23.9% due to project delays, supply chain

Shoals Technologies Group, a U.S.-headquartered manufacturer of electrical balance of systems (EBOS) for solar, energy storage, and e-mobility, reported a 23.9% year-over-year (YoY) decline in revenue, which dropped to $102.2 million in the third quarter (Q3) of 2024. This decline was mainly attributed to project delays and supply chain disruptions. The company posted a net loss of $300,000, a significant improvement compared to the $9.8 million net loss in Q3 2023. Adjusted net income was reported at $13.9 million, reflecting a 58.2% YoY decrease. Adjusted EBITDA stood at $24.5 million, a 4..

FTC Solar sees 67% YoY decline in Q3 revenue from lower volumes

FTC Solar, a U.S.-based provider of solar tracker systems, reported a revenue of $10.14 million in the third quarter (Q3) of 2024, surpassing analyst expectations by $240,680. However, this figure marked a 66.8% year-over-year (YoY) decline compared to the same quarter in 2023, primarily attributed to reduced product volumes. The decline in solar tracker revenue was mainly due to an 82% decrease in the amount of MW produced, which was negatively impacted by delays in customer projects. This was partially offset by an increase in the average selling price (ASP), which led to better pricing an..
