Knauf Gips Kyiv buys guarantees of origin for Ukrainian electricity

27 March 2025

Ukraine: Knauf Gips Ukraine has bought guarantees of origin for its electricity through Ukraine’s National Electronic Register. The guarantees confirm the sources of the company’s energy in Ukraine. Newsbase Daily News has reported that this will form the basis for future development of the country’s renewable energy market. Ukrainian authorities have previously attempted two green energy auctions, both of which failed due to investor concerns over the guaranteed buyers’ financial obligations and regulatory instability.

Power provider Elementum Energy Manager Olga Rybachuk said “The first investors in new projects will be those already in the market and familiar with the risks. Newcomers rely on their assessments. Green auctions are an important tool, but credit risk remains a critical factor.”

Etex records sales and earnings growth in 2023

07 March 2024

Belgium: Etex reported sales of €3.81bn in 2023, up by 2.5% from 2022 levels. The company's recurring earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (REBITDA) rose by 10% to €712m. It also raised its capital expenditure for the year, to €371m. Etex says that it was Europe’s leading gypsum recycling performer, with a recycling rate of 8.6% of all gypsum used. The group is ‘actively preparing’ to help rebuild Ukraine as soon as conditions permit.

CEO Bernard Delvaux said “Even more so than 2022, 2023 was a challenging year marked by volatility, uncertainty and severe drops in demand across the world, as we observed the continued impacts of increased energy prices and interest rates. Combined with tougher financing possibilities by banks, all these circumstances meant that both renovation and new construction levels dropped globally. Devaluation of some foreign currencies and hyperinflation accounting also had significant effects on our results. Despite all these challenges, I am extremely proud to share that Etex navigated these difficult waters very well and delivered yet again another record year. This includes our highest ever revenue and REBITDA, among others. This strong performance stems from our anticipation in making strategic decisions and changes at global, regional and local levels, ensuring continued proximity with our customers. This is also a result of even tighter cost monitoring in 2023, without ever losing sight of our long-term ambitions and continuing to improve our strong industrial footprint.”

It noted that the company operates 10 subsidiaries, 20 production plants and nearly 30 resource centres in the country.
