ACTIVITY REVIEW

Turnover for the first half of 2024 amounts to 248.9 million euros, up +28% at current and constant exchange rates. It benefits from the combined effect of +26% growth in Energy Sales, representing 68% of turnover, and +32% growth in services for third-party customers, representing 32% of turnover. Geographically, 59% of the turnover is generated in Europe, 35% in Latin America and 6% in Africa.

Turnover for the second quarter of 2024 comes to 137.8 million euros, up +42% at current and constant exchange rates, with a further +31% rise in Energy Sales and very strong growth of +75% in Services to third-party customers.

ENERGY SALES: GROWTH ACCELERATION

First-half 2024 turnover from Energy Sales comes to 168.7 million euros, +26% at current and constant exchange rates. The average EUR/BRL exchange rate is 5.49 in the first half of 2024, compared with 5.48 in the first half of 2023.

	Q2 2024	Q2 2023	Variation	H1 2024	H1 2023	Variation
Production (in GWh)	1,111	882	+26%	2,084	1,842	+13%
Capacity in operation (in MW)				2,452	1,699	+44%
Capacity in operation and under construction (in MW)				3,057	2,661	+15%
Wind load factor in France	18%	18%	stable	22%	22%	stable
Wind load factor in Brazil	27%	30%	-3pts	27%	35%	-8pts
Solar load factor in France	18%	22%	-4pts	14%	17%	-3pts
Solar load factor in Brazil	21%	25%	-4pts	23%	27%	-4pts
Solar load factor in Egypt and Jordan	32%	30%	+2pts	27%	26%	+1pt
Load factor in the UK	22%	24%	-2pts	15%	17%	-2pts

Quarterly production rises by +26% to 1,111 GWh. Production from plants commissioned since June 30, 2023 is more than compensated the lower load factors in France and Brazil and the effect of power plants disposals at the end of 2023. For the first time, solar production accounts for more than half of Voltalia's production.

Analysis of production by country:

• In Brazil, generation is down by -2%, mostly due to the sale of power plants², the lower wind and solar resources and to preventive maintenance operations done during the period with less wind resource.
• In France, output rises by +6%, boosted by the commissioning of Rives Charentaises, Sud Vannier and Montclar.
• In the rest of the world, production has more than doubled (x2.1). Voltalia benefits from power plants commissioned, notably in Albania and Portugal.
• Helexia's production continues to grow rapidly (+92%), in Brazil and in Europe (France, Portugal, Spain, Romania and Hungary).

Second-quarter turnover from Energy Sales reaches 93.8 million euros. The +31% increase (+33% at constant exchange rates) is driven by the increase in volume produced (+26%) and by the rise of the average unit selling price (+4.5%), mainly thanks to the inflation indexed selling prices in the long-term electricity sales contracts.

SERVICES: VERY STRONG ACCELERATION

First-half 2024 turnover from third-party Services totals 80.2 million euros, a +32% increase at current and constant exchange rates. The Development, Construction and Equipment Procurement segment grows by +38% to 68.0 million euros, and the Operation-Maintenance segment by +7% to 12.1 million euros. Internal Services (eliminated on consolidation) amounts to 121.9 million euros, down -42% on the first half of 2023, when it reached a record level of activity.

Second-quarter 2024 turnover from third-party Services (after eliminations) reaches 44.0 million euros, up +75% (+69% at constant exchange rates). Services for own account (eliminated on consolidation) falls by -46%, with teams now more focused on third-party contracts..

• The Development, Construction and Equipment Procurement to third-party customers segment grows by +91% to 37.8 million euros. This segment benefits from the construction contracts in Ireland with ESB and Power Capital (330 MW). 
• The Operation and Maintenance segment for third-party customers rises by +15% to 6.2 million euros in the second quarter of 2024. Capacity operated on behalf of third-party customers comes to 6.4 GW (+15% compared with the end of June 2023). This segment benefits particularly from new contracts in Brazil.

Voltalia today announces the sale of a new wind project under development in Brazil

Voltalia has sold a 500 MW wind project to be built in the Macururé complex in the Bahia region, once again demonstrating investors' appetite for sites developed entirely by the Group. 

Voltalia operates 6.4 GW on behalf of third parties³

Voltalia has announced the signing of a new maintenance contract in Brazil, enabling it to pass the milestone of 6 GW operated on behalf of third-party customers worldwide. The new contract covers predictive, preventive and corrective maintenance, inventory management and ancillary services for the Arinos facilities, a complex developed and sold by Voltalia in the state of Minas Gerais.

In Egypt, Voltalia continues to develop the complex combining renewable energy production and green hydrogen production⁴

With its partner TAQA Arabia, Voltalia has signed a framework agreement with the Egyptian authorities, following on from the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in December 2022. The project will be implemented in two identical phases, each comprising a 500 MW electrolyser powered by more than 1.3 GW of solar and wind energy.

In Uzbekistan, at the Sarimay complex, construction begins on the 126 MW solar power plant⁵

Construction of the Sarimay Solar plant has begun, and it is scheduled to come on stream in the second half of 2025. The 25-year power sales contract was awarded in 2022. Voltalia has mandated the EBRD and JICA to finance the project. The solar power plant is part of a multi-energy complex in which wind power and battery storage projects are also being developed. Construction of the 50 MW / 100 MWh storage unit, which will be the subject of a long-term sales contract to be signed by the end of September, is due to start in early 2025.

New storage complex in Uzbekistan: partnership signed for a very large-scale project (1 GWh)⁶
