Plutus Powergen records H1 loss, sales stagnant

Flexible energy generation and provider company Plutus PowerGen (LON:PPG) have reported a first half loss amid a period of stagnant revenue, which was compounded by operating cost.

Losses with high costs and low revenue

While the company’s earnings were offset by administrative, remuneration and financing expenses. revenue remained flat at £675,000.

Consequently, the company’s pre-tax losses for H1, for the six months to October, came to a total of £131,573, which is a direction of positive travel on-year, as losses for H1 the year before amounted to £392,489.

Losses decrease – optimistic board

“The company had a robust first half and whilst revenues were flat, the board’s efforts to reduce costs successfully resulted in reduced operating losses,” said Plutus interim chief executive James Longley said.

“Furthermore, with the directors concentrating on the operations of the FlexGen portfolio, which are working well, and progressing talks with regard to achieving a suite of equity and debt for its planned ‘gas peaker’ portfolio, we look forward to being able to update the market with progress thereon.”
