Statkraft AS: Result for the first quarter of 2016
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Record high production and solid results
(Oslo, 28 April 2016) In the first quarter of 2016, Statkraft achieved an
underlying[1] operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK 4250 million,
an increase of NOK 289 million compared with the corresponding period in 2015.
The quarterly net profit ended at NOK 2389 million.
The average Nordic power prices were 23.9 EUR/MWh in the first quarter. This is
a decrease of 15 % compared with 28.2 EUR/MWh in the corresponding quarter in
2015, but higher than in the fourth quarter last year. Total Nordic production
was 17.9 TWh, which is an increase of 3.1 TWh compared with the same period last
year. The increased hydropower production in Norway and Sweden more than
counterbalanced the effect of lower prices. New capacity from International
Hydropower contributed to further increase the EBITDA.
- The Statkraft Group's total production was 19.4 TWh. This was record high and
resulted in a solid EBITDA. We continue to see increased production from our
international assets which provides stable contributions, says President & CEO
Christian Rynning-Tønnesen.
The net profit ended at NOK 2389 million.This is a decrease from the same
quarter in 2015, which was highly influenced by large unrealised, positive
currency effects.
In the first quarter, Statkraft, TrønderEnergi and a consortium led by Credit
Suisse decided to invest in the 1000 MW wind power project comprising six
onshore wind farms in Central Norway. Statkraft's share in the project is 52.1
%. The construction work has started. The project is eligble for el certificates
and commissioning will be completed in 2020.
