Here are the key takeaways from Polaris Renewable Energy’s conference call:

• Production fell 7.7% year over year in Q2 and 6.4% year to date, reflecting Dominican Republic curtailment, Nicaragua’s geothermal decline and a return to more normal hydrological conditions in Peru and Ecuador.
• Lower generation contributed to an 8% quarter-over-quarter revenue decline and an 11% decrease in adjusted EBITDA, while higher costs from integrating the Punta Lima wind farm and expanding the Mexico and Puerto Rico development pipeline also weighed on results.
• Dominican Republic curtailment averaged 29% in Q2 and 35% year to date; management expects the issue to persist for roughly 18–24 months before grid-scale storage and transmission investments provide a more complete solution.
• Polaris signed the contract for its Puerto Rico ASAP battery project, targeting mid-2027 commercial operation, and signed a Mexico joint venture agreement for 250 MW of solar with approximately 30% battery coverage under long-term U.S.-dollar contracts with CPI adjustments.
