In words
Overview
- The Repower Group generated total operating revenue of CHF 2,372 million (- 6 %) in 2012.
- Low prices on the energy market and negative exceptional items impact the operating result (EBIT): it is CHF 81 million, CHF 110 million before exceptional items, and thus 38 per cent below the previous year's result.
- Group profit totalled CHF 31 million (-43%).
- Trading and sales in Italy and Switzerland contributed favourably to the results.
- In autumn 2012 Repower put the wind farm in Lucera, Apulia, into operation on schedule. Since then the 26 MW facility has already generated positive generation volumes.
- 2012 was a record year for operation of our own hydropower plants thanks to the good hydrological conditions: generation was 12 per cent higher than the previous year.
- Gas distribution did well, contributing positively to the result. Sales in the Italian and German markets increased 12 per cent from the previous year.
- The result in Romania was successfully stabilised.
