17 August 2021. Magnora, a Norwegian renewable energy development company, releases its financial report for the second quarter 2021.
“In the quarter, Magnora has continued maturing the portfolio of wind and solar assets and made several follow-up investments in the portfolio companies, as planned milestones are achieved. In addition, we are in discussions with potential partners and investors for investments and ownership optimizations in our portfolio companies”, says CEO Erik Sneve.
Highlights:
Magnora Offshore Wind AS was established as a strategic partnership company with TechnipFMC, and the company submitted applications in the ScotWind licensing round for two areas in Scotland
Trond Gärtner joins Magnora from Statkraft and has been appointed Senior Vice President Offshore Wind Projects, and Emilie Schjøtt Brackman joins Magnora from DNV and has been appointed Manager Offshore Wind Projects. Both will have a central role in the development of Magnora Offshore Wind AS
Magnora’s SPV in South Africa progressed with early phase land surveys and discussions with potential local partners
As planned, Magnora increased its ownership share in Kustvind AB and Evolar AB to 24% and 41%, respectively. Kustvind has met key milestones, which includes survey of the local opinion with very encouraging results, and environmental and wildlife related surveys that so far has provided expected results. Similarly, Evolar has continued to progress with its tandem cell-efficiency development ahead of its original plan
Magnora renegotiated a new agreement with RWE Renewables for development of the Oddeheia and Bjelkeberget onshore wind farms and we have taken a more active part in the project
The operating costs this quarter were slightly higher than in the first quarter, due to increased business development activities and the development establishment of Magnora Offshore Wind AS and the Magnora SPV in South Africa
Adjusted EBITDA for first half of 2021 was negative NOK 2.9 million
