Neoen (ISIN: FR0011675362, Ticker: NEOEN), one of the world’s leading independent producers of exclusively renewable energy, is reporting (unaudited) revenue of €109.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, up 36% on the first-quarter 2021 level. At constant exchange rates, revenue moved up 33%.
Xavier Barbaro, Neoen’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “With a capacity of 3.5 GW in operation at end-March, up from 2.6 GW one year ago, Neoen generated 1.5 TWh of green electricity in the first quarter. Revenue was 36% higher than in the first quarter of 2021. This performance was driven by strong revenue growth at all three of our segments – solar, wind and storage, thanks in particular to the commissioning of the Victorian Big Battery, one of the world’s largest batteries. By the end of the quarter, our advanced project portfolio had expanded to more than 16 GW with the addition of over 2 GW in projects recorded as early-stage in 2021. Given this portfolio and the unstinting efforts of our teams, we are more confident than ever in our future growth trajectory and are confirming all our targets for 2022 and by 2025.”
