First-half turnover reaches 257 million euros, up +8% at current exchange rates (+12% at constant exchange rates).
Energy Sales and Services contributed 59% and 41% respectively to turnover in the first half of 2025 (vs. respectively 68% for Energy Sales and 32% for Services in the first half of 2024). Geographically, half-year turnover breaks down as follows: 64% in Europe, 30% in Latin America and 6% in the rest of the world.
Consolidated EBITDA delivers 78.3 million euros, down -4%, representing an EBITDA margin of 30% compare with 34% in the first half of 2024. The lower consolidated margin is mainly due to (i) an overweighting of Services compared to last year, as Services have a lower intrinsic margin Energy Sales, and (ii) unfavourable base effect related to sales of projects under development in 2024.
amounted to -39.7 million euros vs. a net loss of -15.7 million euros in the first half of 2024. It mainly reflects (i) lower disposals than in the first half of 2024, (ii) non-recurring items relating to the closure of the Equipment Procurement activity and (iii) costs associated with the SPRING transformation plan
reaches 2,373 GWh, up +14%. The increase in production was driven by improved resource levels in Brazil and growth in operating capacity, particularly at Helexia in Europe and Brazil. Solar production accounted for 49% of total production.
Production curtailment in Brazil was higher than expected in the first half of the year, representing an impact of 268 GWh, or 14% of Brazilian production.
increased by +3% since the first half of 2024, from 2,452 MW to 2,524 MW, and from the full-year effect of the power plants commissioned in 2024.
In addition, increased by +25% to reach 755 MW.
Thus, increased by +222 MW (+7%) to reach 3,279 MW in the first half of 2025. It is distributed as follows: 51% in Latin America, 38% in Europe and 11% in the rest of the world.
reaches 152.1 million euros, down -10% at current exchange rate (-3% at constant exchange rates). The average EUR/BRL rate was 6.30 in the first half of 2025, compared with 5.49 in the first half of 2024.
Energy Sales delivers EBITDA down at -7% (-2% at constant exchange rates) to 94.4 million euros. Although the business benefits from the full-year effect of the power plants commissioned in 2024 (144 MW), it was unable to offset the following factors: (i) the price effect resulting from the end of short-term contracts concluded at high prices (first production effects ), (ii) a less favourable EUR/BRL exchange rate than in 2024 , and (iii) the impact of Brazilian curtailment, higher than in the first semester.
The EBITDA margin for the Energy Sales business rose by 2 points compared with the first half of 2024, to 62%.
Breakdown by country:
reaches 104.8 million euros, up +50% at current and constant exchange rates.
delivers -6.6 million euros, representing an improvement of +36% compared to the first half of 2024.
The for third-party customers reaches EBITDA of -8.3 million euros, an improvement of 1,8 million euros. It should be noted that the segment has been restated for half year 2024 and half year 2025 to exclude the Equipment Procurement activity, which was discontinued during the first semester 2025.
The segment for third-party clients posted EBITDA growth to 1.8 million euros, mainly due to new contracts won in Brazil and Portugal and power plant projects in Spain and France.
in the first half of 2025 are kept under control at -9.6 million euros (-2% at constant exchange rates).
for the first half of 2025 amounts to 78.3 million euros, down -4% (+3% at constant exchange rates), representing an EBITDA margin of 30%, compared with 34% in the first half of 2024. The decline in the consolidated margin is mainly due to (i) an overweighting of Services compared to last year, as Services have a lower intrinsic margin than Energy Sales, and (ii) an unfavourable base effect related to sales of projects under development in 2024.
, and amount to -57.5 million euros, up +20% (+26% at constant exchange rates). The increase is attributable mainly to the impact of new power plants commissioned at the end of 2024 , on depreciation charges in the first half of 2025.
amount -10.9 million euros. The 6,2 million euros increase stems primarily from (i) expenses associated with the SPRING project (consultants and internal costs), and (ii) the review and rationalisation of projects under development.
for the first half of 2025 shows a charge of -34.1 million euros, down -7%, comprising of financial debt costs of 69,1 million euros, up +10,4 million euros, mainly due to (i) growth of the portfolio of power plants in operation (+72 MW) and assets under construction (+150 MW), (ii) and the increase in the cost of financing on a portfolio of assets remaining stable compared the first half of 2024. The overall average cost of financing consolidated debt is 5.9% against 6.1% at the end of June 2024. Credit margins remain stable overall.
amount to -8.7 million euros, a sharp increase mainly representing tax expenses of -7,4 million euros, up 6,3 million euros. The increase reflects the recognition by the Jordania tax authorities of deferred tax income generated by accelerated depreciation in the first half of 2024.
Losses associated with amount to -8.0 million euros, up +21% at current and constant exchange rates, corresponding to the discontinuation of the Equipment Procurement segment during the first half of the year.
Taking minority interests into account, the fell by 23,9 million euros compared with the first half of 2024. It amounts to -39.7 million d’euros, reflecting (i) fewer disposals than in the first half of 2024, and (ii) non-recurring items related to the closure of the Equipment Procurement segment and (iii) costs associated with the SPRING transformation plan.
As of end of June 2025, balance sheet stands at 4 billion euros.
amount to 3,195 million euros. The 132 million euros (+4%) increase reflects the growth in the portfolio of power plants under construction in the first half of 2025 in France (including French Guiana), the United Kingdom, South Africa, Colombia and Brazil, as well as Helexia’s solar rooftops in Brazil.
record 235 million euros, down 125 million euros, due to the repayment of bonds in January 2025.
amount 542 million euros, up 4 million euros.
amounts 1,012 million euros, down 51 million euros, due to the recognition of the Group’s net loss for the first half of 2025.
amounts 2,355 million euros, up +2% reflecting the growth of the power plant portfolio (project debt backed by each project through secured long-term Energy Sales contract), resulting in a debt ratio of 66%. In the first half of 2025, Voltalia took out a new short-term loan of 242 million euros offsetting the 235 million euros bond repayment ( ), while increasing its project debt in line with the power plants commissioned and those under construction . Corporate debt remains stable.
Financial debt benefits from 77% of its outstanding fixed-rate, hedged or inflation-indexed debt. It is denominated in euros at 69%, in Brazilian reals at 25%, in British pound sterling at 3%, and 3% in US dollars.
amount 503 million euros, up +3%, due to an increase in trade receivables.
Curtailment in Brazil during the first half of the year amounted to 268 GWh (i.e. 14% of Brazilian production and 10% of total production over the period). It was higher than the half-year estimates. During the presentation of its 2024 annual results, Voltalia stated that its 2025 operating targets included an assumption of 10% curtailment in 2025 in Brazil (compared with 21% in 2024).
Voltalia remains confident of a favourable outcome, in the medium term, to the legal and contentious actions undertaken for compensation, however, given this evolving context, no compensation has been included for 2025.
On April 29, 2025, a sawmill adjacent to the Cacao biomass plant ( ) in French Guiana caught fire. The plant is expected to be out of operation for an estimated six to twelve months, which could represent a potential loss of around 6 million euros in turnover by 2025, excluding recourse to third parties, including insurance companies, which are currently being analysed.
ESB has reaffirmed its confidence in Voltalia by awarding it two new turnkey engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts for solar power plants, representing a total capacity of 92.9 megawatts. These contracts cover the construction of the Carriglong solar power plant (43.7 megawatts) and the Clashwilliam solar power plant (49.2 megawatts). These projects mark the fourth collaboration between Voltalia and ESB since 2023.
The diagnostic phase of the SPRING transformation plan, initiated at the beginning of 2025 by the new general management, was finalised in June, as previously announced . Its conclusions and roadmap that follows are announced today during the presentation of the 2025 half-year results.
This roadmap, the first effects of which are expected from 2025, sets priorities and provides a clear framework for the rigorous and structured implementation of actions.
SPRING is thus a strategic lever for consolidating Voltalia's sustainable and profitable growth trajectory, based on a clearer organisation that is fully focused on sustainable value creation.
Voltalia confirms its operating targets for 2025:

Early generation: electricity sales under a short-term contract preceding the entry into force of the long-term contract. The short-term contract was concluded at higher prices than the long-term contract in the case of Karavasta (Albania) and Sud Vannier (France).
During the first half of 2025, Voltalia began the process of discontinuing its Equipment Procurement segment. At the end of June 2025, the criteria for classification as a “discontinued operation” within the meaning of IFRS 5 were met. Consequently, turnover and EBITDA for 2025 and 2024 has been restated to exclude the Equipment Procurement segment. The impact of this business is included in the ‘Discontinued operations’ line within Net income.
Curtailment involves a transmission network operator limiting the transmission of all or part of a power plant's electricity generation potential for a given period, to maintain the stability of the transmission network.
