Acciona Energía has reported a decrease in operating profits to €686m in the first half of 2023 as a “result of the evolution of energy prices”.
The drop of 24.6% in EBITDA came as the business recorded a net growth of 442MW in installed capacity during the first half of the year, reaching a total of 12.27GW.
In addition, the company had 2169MW under construction as of June 2023.
Acciona Energía said it will add 1.8GW of total new capacity this year, in line with the announced forecast.
The company’s strong investment pace shows the good progress of the projects under construction in Australia (MacIntyre) and in the USA (Red Tail Hawk, Fort Bend, High Point and Union), among others.
Acciona Energía also recently announced the launch of a new wind project in Canada (280MW Forty Mile), the start of the construction of two projects in Croatia (Opor and Boraja totalling 72MW) and the Logrosán biomass plant in Spain (49.9MW).
During the first half of the year, AccionaEnergía increased its stake in Renomar and, in a joint venture with Acciona, acquired a controlling stake in Solideo, a leading company in self-supply and energy efficiency solutions for residential customers and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
