Aquila European Renewables plc
Net Asset Value and Factsheet
Aquila European Renewables plc (the Company), a Euro income fund, announces
its unaudited net asset value ("NAV") as at 31 December 2024, on a cum-income
basis, was EUR 320,231,508 or 84.69 cents per ordinary share. This represents
a NAV total return of -4.6% per Ordinary Share over the quarter.
Key drivers of the NAV movement in Q4 2024:
· European power price curves have decreased, most notably in the
Nordics, driven by lower expectations for industrial demand, delays and
reductions in hydrogen production, postponed battery developments and a
resurgence of nuclear power (lifetime extensions and new builds). In Iberia, a
declining trend is also observed, with an even sharper decrease in Spain. This
is attributed to an increased buildout of PV plants (+7.8 GW by 2030), delays
in the development of pump storage, and the interconnector to central Europe
(-4.1 cents per Ordinary Share)
· An increase in risk free rate across the portfolio, resulting in an
increase to the portfolio discount rate by approximately 10 bps to 7.3% (-1.0
cents per Ordinary Share)
· Following the growth of renewable energy in Finland, investments in
grid infrastructure have been the utmost priority and as a result balancing
and Fingrid costs have increased substantially (-0.4 cents per Ordinary Share)
