S&nbsp; &amp; P has taken into consideration the solid operating performance of ENCE and the growing contribution of the company&#8217;s independent energy business to the Group&#8217;s results, which gives them greater stability.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that ENCE has launched this week the construction of a new 50 MW biomass generation plant in Puertollano (Ciudad Real), in an area where there is an abundance of biomass at a competitive cost. This installation joins the 40 MW biomass plant that ENCE is building in Huelva. Both plants will come into operation in the second half of 2019 and are expected to contribute an EBITDA of more than \u20ac 24 million, bringing the estimated EBITDA of ENCE&#8217;s energy business to \u20ac 84 million by 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Ence increased its net profit by 115% after rising to \u20ac 29.5 million in the first quarter of 2018. The Group&#8217;s EBITDA improved by 54% after standing at \u20ac 62.9 million. Strong free cash generation in the quarter allowed ENCE to allocate \u20ac 17 million to investments and reduce its net debt by \u20ac 28 million. The Group&#8217;s level of leverage at the end of the quarter stood at only 0.5 times the EBITDA of the last 12 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 27 April 2018.-&nbsp;Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s has improved the long-term credit rating of Ence-Energy &amp; Pulp from BB- to BB with a stable outlook.
