The company’s consolidated revenues for 2024 were up 3.3% year-on-year (YoY), mainly due to higher operation and maintenance revenue, higher earnings from sale of electricity, higher share in net results of equity accounted investees, gain from capital recycling and higher net finance income.

 

The revenue increase was partially offset by lower services income from the projects, lower gross profit on account of higher operating costs, higher project development costs on account of increased business development activity and higher general & administrative expenses in parallel with accelerated growth.
