Why it matters
The financial results show that while First Gen Corp. benefited from higher average selling prices and increased sales volume, the company also experienced a significant cost increase. Costs related to electricity and liquefied natural gas (LNG) sales rose 95.4% in the third quarter compared to the same period last year.
