Financial strategies and outlook

Profitability and balance sheet

Continue to build fundamental values and profitability by focusing on cash-flow (EBITDA) and booked equity Robust balance sheet and continued de-risking of financial parameters remain important in a volatile market

Deployment of capital

Cloudberry will use our flexible business model to deploy capital towards the most accretive projects. Capital to be allocated towards Nordic renewable projects with low cost per kWh and strong ESG profiles within our return requirements

We observe accretive opportunities within on-shore wind (Sweden & Denmark), hydro (Norway) and solar (Denmark, Norway). Onshore wind in Norway is pending on the outcome of the resource rent tax proposal expected resolved in Q4 2023

M&A

M&A will continue to play a vital role for Cloudberry given a significant increase in deal flow from our Nordic hubs. Continue to expand the portfolio by buying into low-cost opportunities where our in-house development and operational team can add significant value through the value chain

Outlook & summary

Cloudberry perfectly positioned for the energy transition

Strong power price outlook driven by renewable energy demand and ambitious climate goals

Positive outlook for power prices

EUR/MWh - Volue Nordic system price estimates (not inflation adj.)

Key market drivers

EU driving the energy transition through EU Fitfor55, REPowerEU and Net Zero Industry Act

Massive demand for new renewable energy, driven by electrification of industry and transport

Norway and Sweden quickly running into a power deficit. Authorities recognize the need for new renewable power before 2030

Positive shift in the long-term power prices

Summary

  • Significant growth in production volumes
  • Short-term dip in power prices due to heavy perception
  • On-shore wind tax in Norway expected to be clarified before year end 2023
  • Strong development in Denmark
  • Positive developments in backlog projects. Local projects strongly aligned with local stakeholders can add material value to Cloudberry over time
  • Projects under construction are progressing according to time and cost
