Neoen (ISIN: FR0011675362, Ticker: NEOEN), one of the world’s leading and fastest-growing independent producers of exclusively renewable energy, is presenting its consolidated results for the first half of 2021, which ended on June 30, 2021. These financial statements, which were subject to a limited review by the Statutory Auditors, were approved by the Board of Directors on July 30, 2021.

Xavier Barbaro, Neoen’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Our revenue grew 38% in the second quarter, lifting growth to 5% in the first half of the year. As expected, our EBITDA performance reflects a high base of comparison in the first six months of 2020 resulting from the recognition of liquidated damages in Americas and an exceptionally strong level of Storage revenue in Australia. On the operational front, we launched construction of 710 MW in capacity, including 617 MW in the second quarter alone, in keeping with Neoen’s growth profile. Our capacity in operation or under construction currently stands at 4.8 GW, which makes us very confident in reaching our target of 5 GW by year-end 2021. The size of our portfolio has expanded by 1 GW since the end of 2020, demonstrating our ability to steadily enrich it with new projects and boosting our future growth prospects.”
