proportionate basis, a doubling of electricity production from the same quarter
last year.
As the current portfolio of projects under construction is almost complete,
second quarter revenues decreased compared with the same quarter last year,
partly offset by higher power production revenues. With a larger portfolio of
power plants in operation, the Power Production segment delivered strong growth
in both revenues and EBITDA, resulting in a 73 % increase in EBITDA to NOK 374
million compared to the same quarter last year. The change in segment mix
results in a higher EBITDA margin for the Group also this quarter.
“I’m proud of our people who have maintained stable operations and ensured
continued power deliveries to our customers during challenging times, and we are
completing our construction projects in the second half of this year. Even
though COVID-19 continues to impact some solar markets, we are growing our
pipeline. With available liquidity of NOK 3.6 billion we are progressing several
large project opportunities across emerging markets”, says Raymond Carlsen, CEO
of Scatec Solar.
Scatec Solar’s second quarter consolidated revenues reached NOK 725 million
(376), with EBITDA at NOK 580 million (290). The consolidated net profit was
negative NOK 81 million, impacted by an unrealised currency loss of NOK 169
million. The corresponding figures for the previous quarter were consolidated
net profit of NOK 299 million, impacted by a NOK 320 million currency gain. At
the date of reporting, the Company had a total backlog and pipeline of 6.1 GW.
For the first six months of 2020, Scatec Solar’s proportionate revenues reached
NOK 1,791 million (3,177) with an EBITDA of NOK 763 million (703) and associated
EBITDA margin of 43%.
