Madrid, 30th September 2022. Opdenergy, an independent renewable energy producer, has presented its financial results for the first six months of the 2022 financial year. The company has ended the first half of the year with financial and operating figures that show its growth, consolidate the fulfilment of its objectives, and reflect the solidity of its business model after its debut on the Spanish stock exchanges on July 22nd, being the first company to be listed on the Continuous Market in 2022.

Opdenergy has managed to close the first half of 2022 with positive financial results, following a substantial increase in energy sales, which have registered a 54% growth, resulting from the consolidation of the portfolio and the increase in operating assets over the last 12 months. In this regard, the company achieved a positive net profit of 17 million euros, compared to a negative net result during the first six months of the previous year.

On the other hand, the renewable energy firm recorded a substantial increase in its EBITDA in the first half of the year, amounting to 26 million euros, 9x the figure registered in the same period of the previous year. This figure is supported by the increase in energy sales and the execution of part of the portfolio sold in the transaction signed in August 2021 with Bruc Energy. On the other hand, total revenues for the first half of 2022 amounted to €35 million, 135% higher than last year.

Significant operational progress

Opdenergy’s renewable assets pipeline totals 13.6GW, having increased by 2.5GW during the first six months of the year. Within this total portfolio, it is worth highlighting the capacity of projects in operation and under construction of 1.6GW, to which will be added 400MW that will start construction work in the coming months. With these additional 400MW that will start construction soon, Opdenergy covers 60% of its 2025 target of 3.3GW of capacity in operation and under construction.

These figures also show a growth in Opdenergy’s consolidated energy production of 83% compared to the first half of 2021, highlighting the company’s fully operational platform capacity.

Luis Cid, CEO of Opdenergy, stated: “After our debut just two months ago on the Continuous Market, we are proud to present our first financial results as a listed company with solid figures that support our business model. Despite living with a changing and unstable macroeconomic environment in recent months, Opdenergy shows the solidity of its strategy in this context in which renewable energies are more necessary than ever.”
