Commenting on the results, Ronan Murphy, Non-Executive Chairman of Greencoat Renewables, said:

I am pleased to report another positive year for the Company, with continued strong cash generation underpinning dividend cover and providing long term support for our reinvestment strategy.

In deploying more than €500 million into four new assets, we have further diversified the portfolio and increased our generation capacity to 1.5GW across six European markets.

Proactive revenue management has enabled us to deliver a number of power purchase agreements confirming that the Company is delivering on its strategy of maintaining a high contracted revenue mix.

Despite the continued presence of macro-economic headwinds, the opportunity and investment case for renewables remains strong. The Company remains wholly committed to the disciplined allocation of capital and, with a highly cash generative and pan European portfolio, is well positioned to continue to play a critical role in energy transition, whilst delivering attractive low risk returns for shareholders.
