Sebastian Thomas, UGE Philippines’ Director of Development, commented,
“I am enthusiastic about the growth we are experiencing in the Philippines this year. Given the significant savings solar offers our clients, the time is ripe for businesses in the Philippines to adopt solar energy. We have added several talented members to our business development team over the last six months, which helped drive 60 per cent backlog growth so far this quarter. We expect our momentum to continue through the remainder of the year.”
As of March 31, 2021, UGE Philippines’ 5.1 MW backlog represented 7 per cent of UGE’s overall backlog, which is within the 5-15 per cent range the company expects going forward.
