·    Aggregate Group debt of €1,351 million, equivalent to 54.6% of GAV

·    Bernard Byrne appointed as a Non-Executive Director, bringing extensive finance and commercial experience to the Board

 

 

Rónán Murphy, Non-Executive Chairman of Greencoat Renewables, commented:

 

"The first six months of the year have been a busy and pro-active period for Greencoat Renewables with clear strategic progress and good operational performance, notwithstanding ongoing challenges in the wider environment.

 

Gross cash generation amounted to €68.7 million, translating to a robust gross dividend cover of 1.8x despite a statistically low-wind year across Northern Europe.

 

Deleveraging through NAV-accretive disposals, the extension of our RCF, and the fixing of Facility A at an all in cost of debt of 3.9% through to October 2030, further strengthens our balance sheet and enhances our financial flexibility. The rapid rise in data-centre demand driven by AI has continued to accelerate across Europe and we were pleased to sign our second PPA with Keppel DC REIT in the period.

 

In the period, we took an innovative step to broaden our investor base and improve liquidity through a secondary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. In addition, we agreed a reduction in our management fees, effective 1 April 2025.

 

The European renewables sector has proven to be resilient, underpinned by binding government commitments to decarbonisation, accelerating corporate demand for clean energy, and the convergence of digital and energy. Greencoat Renewables' diversified portfolio and active asset management approach position us well, despite current challenges, to capitalise from significant long-term sector growth".
