KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Renewables represented 74% of electricity generated by EDP in 2020. Electricity produced from renewable energy sources rose 7% YoY, with hydro generation in line with historical average and wind generation 8% below expected volumes. Coal generation showed a strong decline of 46% YoY, despite an increase in 4Q20, explained by the burning of the remaining coal stocks ahead of the anticipated closure of Sines plant.
  • As of Dec-20, renewables represented 79% of EDP's installed capacity of 23.7 GW. As of 2020 YE, there were 2.3 GW of wind and solar projects under construction. The 4Q20 was marked by a proactive portfolio management, including the disposal of 6 hydro plants in Portugal (1.7 GW), disposal of 2 CCGT plants in Spain (0.8 GW), asset rotation of wind and solar portfolios in the US and Spain (0.8 GW) and the acquisition of Viesgo's renewables portfolio (0.5 GW). Our coal capacity in Iberia was reduced by 49% YoY due to the anticipated closure of Sines coal plant in Portugal (1.2 GW), which finished electricity production on December 24th. Coal capacity will continue to decline in 2021 with the early shutdown of Soto 3 plant (0.3 GW) in Spain.
  • Electricity distributed in Portugal declined 2% in 4Q20, a slight recovery vs. the overall 3% decline in 2020. In Spain, the number of clients connected to our electricity distribution networks has more than doubled in 4Q20, reflecting the acquisition of Viesgo in Dec-20. In Brazil, electricity distribution rose 2% YoY in 4Q20, but despite this recovery in the last quarter, volumes distributed fell 5% in 2020.
  • In the supply business, in Portugal, electricity volume sold declined 5% in 2020 (-7% in 4Q20) and the number of clients fell 1.8% YoY. In Spain, the disposal on December 1 st of our retail energy supply activities resulting on a higher focus on the corporate segment, explain the sharp reduction in the number of clients and the significant decline in energy volumes in 4Q20.
