Voltalia (Euronext
Paris, ISIN code : FR0011995588), an international
player in renewable energies, publishes its second quarter and
first half 2023 turnovers.
« Power production increased sharply over
both the quarter (+40%) and the first half of the year (+41%).
Ongoing projects, with a capacity of almost 1 GW, most of which
will be completed before the end of the year, will enable this
trend to continue. In Services, growth is being driven by internal
services, with teams often working on projects for their own
account », commented Sébastien Clerc, Voltalia’s CEO.

REVIEW
Turnover for the first
half of 2023 came to €198.9 million, stable compared with
the first half of 2022. It benefits from growth in Energy Sales
(+44%). Services (+73%) are focused on internal activity
(eliminated on consolidation), which increased multiplied by x4, to
the detriment of external activity, which suffered a temporary
decline (-40%). In this context, Energy Sales represented 69% of
sales for the first six months of 2023, compared with 49% a year
earlier.
Q2 2023
turnover came to €100.0 million, down -3% compared
with Q2 2022 (stable at constant exchange rates). Energy Sales
(+41%) contributed 75% to the quarter's turnover, compared with 52%
a year earlier.

Turnover for the first
half of 2023 from Energy Sales amounted to 138.0 million
euros, up +44% at current exchange rates compared with the first
half of 2022 (+43% at constant exchange rates). The average EUR/BRL
rate was 5.48 in the first half of 2023, compared with 5.55 in the
first half of 2022.
In the first half of 2023, production reached
1.8 TWh, compared with 1.3 TWh in the first half of 2022, up +41%,
reflecting the improvement in wind resources in Brazil and France
(+4 points increase in the wind load factor in both countries) and,
mainly, the increase in installed capacity in operation to 1,699 MW
(+39%) at the end of June 2023. Energy sales benefited notably from
Helexia's growth over the half-year.
Q2 2023 turnover from Energy
Sales reached €75.2 million, up +41% (+44% at constant exchange
rates) compared with Q2 2022. Quarterly production was 0.9 TWh, up
40% from 0.6 TWh in 2022.
By country :
- In Brazil,
production is up by +40% due to better wind conditions than a year
earlier and the full production of SSM1 and 2 (320 MW), the
company's largest solar power plant, commissioned in 2022;
- In France,
production is up by +38% due to better wind conditions and
production from plants commissioned in 2022 and 2023 (Helexia,
Sable blanc, Sud Vannier) ;
- In other countries,
Voltalia's production grew overall, multiplied by x8 in the United
Kingdom with the new South Farm solar power plant, multiplied by x2
in Portugal with the start of production at the Garrido complex,
and by +68% in Spain, marked by the strong growth in Helexia's
production over the period. In Egypt and Jordania, production was
down -4% year-on-year, due to a load factor that was slightly
lower.
SERVICES
Turnover for the first half of
2023 from Services (internal and external) totalled €258.1
million, up +73% (+74% at constant exchange rates) compared with
the first half of 2022. The Development, Construction and Equipment
Procurement segment grew by +79% to €239.6 million, and the
Operation & Maintenance segment by +23% to €18.5 million.
Activity was temporarily concentrated on the internal services,
with internal turnover (eliminated on consolidation) increasing
multiplied by x4 to 197.2 million euros, and turnover with
third-party customers falling by -40% to 60.9 million euros.
Q2 2023 turnover from Services
(internal and external) totalled €156.2 million, up +85% (+88% at
constant exchange rates) compared with Q2 2022. Activity was
temporarily focused on the internal market, with internal turnover
(eliminated on consolidation) multiplied by x4, and turnover with
third-party customers falling by -50% (-47 % at constant exchange
rates). Analysis by segment shows strong growth in the Development,
Construction and Equipment Procurement segment :
- The Development,
Construction and Equipment Procurement segment posted turnover of
€146.6 million, up +91%, thanks to a fourfold increase in internal
activity, reflecting the record capacity under construction for its
own account, which stands at 961 MW at the end of June 2023.
External turnover for this segment on behalf of third-party
customers fell by -58% to €19.4 million. Although more than 550 MW
are currently under construction for third-party customers, few
milestones have yet been reached during the period, with Voltalia
recognising construction turnover based on the progress of
projects.
- The Operation &
Maintenance segment recorded turnover of €9.6 million, up by +17%
(+19% at constant exchange rates), driven in particular by
third-party customers.
Turnover
eliminations for H1 2023 and Q2 2023 came to
respectively €197.2 million (x4 at current and constant exchange
rates) and €131.3 million (x4 at current and constant exchange
rates), reflecting the sharp increase in internal services for
power plants under construction, the vast majority of which are due
to be commissioned before the end of 2023, and during the operating
period.
RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS
(SELECTED)
Update on Canudos project
(99.4 MW): confirmation of the validity of
the construction permits by Brazilian federal court
Voltalia announces today that the Brazilian
federal court of appeals overturned the preliminary decision that
had suspended the Canudos project’s permits last april5 . Voltalia
has the authorization to finalize the works, carry out the
commissioning and start the operation of the wind farms. In
parallel with the resumption of operations, Voltalia will present a
complementary environmental study and arrange a public hearing with
local communities within 6 months. The Public Prosecutor will have
the possibility to make an appeal to this second instance decision
within a limited time period (30 business day after being intimated
of this decision).
First megawatt-hours for the SSM3-6
solar power plant in Brazil6
SSM3-6 is part of the Serra Branca cluster, the
largest wind and solar cluster in the world, developed entirely by
Voltalia. The cluster generates some of the most competitive energy
in the country, with exceptional levels of wind and sunshine as
complementary energy sources. Out of a total of 260 MW,
17 MW came on stream in June and a further 83 MW since
the beginning of July. The rest will gradually be brought on stream
over the coming months. The plant is backed by a 14-year
electricity sales contract with Copel, a Brazilian utility and
long-standing partner of Voltalia.
In French Guiana, commissioning of a
combined solar and storage power
plant7
Voltalia has commissioned its Sable Blanc power
plant, combining photovoltaic generation, with a capacity of
5 MW, and battery storage, with a capacity of 10.6 MWh.
Developed entirely by Voltalia, the mixed power plant will benefit
from a guaranteed sales tariff for 20 years. The lithium-ion
batteries will enable the electricity produced during the day to be
injected after night fall, while improving the stability of
electricity production in a region with high demand.
SNCF Energie signs a new wind energy
supply contract with Voltalia8
The contract covers production at a wind farm in
the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The contract is for a
period of 25 years. The wind farm, called Rives Charentaises, has a
total installed capacity of 37.4 MW, and will
produce around 78 GWh a year, or 1.4% of SNCF
Voyageurs' traction electricity consumption. The plant is scheduled
to be commissioned in the first half of 2024.
Helexia wins a new 90 MW contract in
Brazil9
The 20-year agreement between Helexia and Comerc
Energia, a leading provider of energy management solutions in
Brazil, covers the supply of up to 90 MW of photovoltaic solar
power spread across a series of distributed generation projects.
They will be built progressively in the Brazilian states of Mato
Grosso do Sul, Ceará and Pernambuco. Construction work on the first
projects will begin in the coming months, with commissioning
scheduled for the first quarter of 2024.
Voltalia selected to build a 108 MW
solar farm in Ireland10
ESB, a semi-state-owned utility company, and
Bord na Móna, a semi-state-owned climate solutions company, have
awarded Voltalia a contract to build their Timahoe North solar farm
and maintain it for at least two years. The plant is expected to be
fully operational by the end of 2024.
2023 OBJECTIVES CONFIRMED
Voltalia recalls that its target of 2.6 GW
of capacity in operation and under construction, which the Company
had planned to reach by the end of 2023, was reached by the end of
202211, one year ahead of schedule.
Voltalia reiterates its normalised EBITDA12
target for 2023, which is expected to be in the range of €275 to
€300 million.
2027 AMBITIONS REAFFIRMED
Last October, Voltalia defined a new growth plan
for 2027, including the following ambitions:
- Owned operating and
construction capacity: over 5 GW;
- Capacity operated
on behalf of third parties: over 8 GW;
- Normalised
EBITDA13: around €475 million;
- CO2-equivalent
avoided: over 4 million tonnes.
