EDP Renewables

✨ Green lights for Germany    We are fully committed to the German renewable energy market, and today, we are taking another decisive step by starting the construction phase of our first utility-scale project. Developed with Kronos Solar - EDPR, the new Ketzin solar power plant will have a substantial capacity, driving significant progress in the energy transition. With over 2 GWp of solar projects in development, we are targeting the installation of more than 400 MWp of solar capacity by 2026 and expanding into wind and battery storage by 2030. In just three years since entering the German market, our investment plan is now set to place this country at the top of our global growth engine. We will account for 20% of EDP's European investment by the end of the current Business Plan and 25% by 2030, highlighting our commitment to sustainable development and innovation.

🏆 60/60 successfully installed The #MorayWest wind farm, an offshore project led by OW Ocean Winds, has successfully completed the installation of its last turbine. This project is set to make history in offshore wind energy. When we add ambition to the formula of expertise and multiply it by innovation, the result could only be = a successful super-project.   Interesting to note: 🌊 Moray West, 882 MW, will be fully operational in 2025; 🌊  Each turbine can reach an output of 14.7 MW, making them the largest commercial offshore turbines in Europe; 🌊 Over its lifetime, the project is expected to inject 800 million pounds into the Scottish economy and has already created more than 1,500 FTE years in the region during construction. A huge bravo to all our teams for their outstanding work. We will remain committed to developing new projects that prioritize community involvement and drive the transition to renewable energy in Ireland.

EDP has just announced its financial highlights for the first nine months of 2024. Our recurring net profit increased by 7% year-on-year, reaching €1,095 million. This growth was driven by strong performance from electricity distribution in Brazil and hydro resources in Iberia. Additionally, our recurring EBITDA rose by 1% year-over-year to €3,879 million, with our electricity networks seeing a 14% increase in EBITDA, now representing 33% of our EBITDA, thanks to significant growth in Brazil and Portugal. Our commitment to the energy transition is evident, as 96% of our €3,407 million total investment has gone towards renewable energy projects and electricity networks. As a result, renewable generation has grown by 18%, and 97% of our total electricity now comes from renewable sources, leading to a 73% reduction in CO2 emissions intensity (scopes 1 & 2). Please join us tomorrow, November 8th, at 8:30 AM (GMT), for the webcast presentation of EDP's third-quarter results at http://ms.spr.ly/6043WwOWx. #EDPWeChooseEarth #EnergyTransition

🍕 Ciao Milano It's a wrap! Enlit Europe has ended, but we're still savoring the vibrant energy we experienced there. Leading experts and key players from the energy and technology sectors gathered in Milan for this year's event, and EDP was at the heart of it all. Our experts covered a broad spectrum of topics, fueling three days of fruitful discussions, knowledge exchanges, and networking with industry peers, further solidifying our stance as a global leader in Europe. Looking ahead, these collaborative efforts not only underscore our commitment to climate action but also showcase our resilience and pave the way for a sustainable energy future. A heartfelt thank you to all colleagues who represented EDP so remarkably. We are definitely on the right track.

🌍 It's World Mental Health Day Today, let's shift our focus from renewable assets to the heart and soul behind them. Our employees are our main asset and a priority for us 365 days a year. As a company, we will continue to invest in mental and emotional well-being and promote actions that contribute to a healthy and supportive working environment. On this World Mental Health Day, we’re proud to highlight our "It’s OK" campaign - a movement that goes beyond awareness. It encourages open conversations about mental health, free of stigma, and promotes a community of empathy, where seeking help is not only accepted but embraced. “It’s OK” to ask for help. “It’s OK” to prioritize your mental health. And “It’s OK” if you're not feeling OK - because we assure you, together, we’ll navigate the tough times. Using the universal "OK" gesture as a symbol of support, let’s check in with each other and keep the conversation going. Drop a 👌 in the comments to show your support! #MentalHealth #WMHD2024 #PrioritizeMentalHealthInTheWorkplace

⏫ Italy, here we grow again! Today, we're thrilled to announce the grid connection of Italy's largest utility-scale solar project. With an installed capacity of 72 MWp, this renewable asset will generate 66 GWh of clean energy annually and is expected to avoid more than 28,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year and supply energy to more than 25,000 homes in the Lazio region. "This project boosts energy independence and strengthens the Italian energy system, aligning with Italy’s National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC), which targets up to 80 GW of photovoltaic capacity by 2030," highlights Roberto Pasqua, Executive Director of Southern and Eastern Europe at EDP Renewables. Congratulations to our Italian teams on these great successes, which are proof of our daily commitment to helping our stakeholders achieve their decarbonization goals, develop renewable energies and ensure the reliability of the energy system.

🌍 When empathy meets purpose, magic happens. Storm Boris has recently ravaged Central and Eastern Europe, bringing torrential rains and flooding that have impacted the entire continent, with southern Poland facing significant challenges. EDP has been actively engaged in the Polish market since 2007. In response to this catastrophe, we have decided to support the State Fire Service by donating photovoltaic installations and power generators. These installations, which should be completely operational in early 2025, will provide firefighters with greater energy independence, allowing them to minimize the risk associated with a power grid failure, enabling them to secure more effective and faster assistance. Our dedication to the communities we serve extends beyond immediate aid. For years, we have fostered partnerships with local municipalities, engaging in educational and recreational programs that strengthen our ties and further our commitment to the energy transition. These efforts are vital as we work together towards achieving Poland's ambitious energy goals. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dD_8Jkpm
