Neoen (ISIN: FR0011675362, Ticker: NEOEN), one of the world’s leading and fastest-growing independent producers of exclusively renewable energy, is presenting its consolidated half-year results, with limited review of the auditors, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. Its financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on September 23, 2020.

Xavier Barbaro, Neoen’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Our first-half results showed a strong increase compared to the same period last year. Revenue and EBITDA moved up 33% and 58% respectively despite delayed commissioning of several projects. This performance reflects our Group’s growth profile that is driven by the continuous expansion of our pipeline. In the first six months, assets in operation or under construction grew by 600 MW to 3.6 GW. In addition, we have secured new wind, solar and storage plants in France, Australia and Finland during the period. Since the end of June, we have also been awarded three solar projects in Ireland with capacity totalling 55 MWp and a 100 MW wind energy project in Australia through government tenders. These latest successes illustrate our ability to design competitive projects and further enhance our growth prospects. Neoen is pushing ahead its development drawing on a healthy financial structure and robust cash position, with close to €600 million at end of June 2020.”
