1 Estimated emissions avoided are calculated assuming that renewable energy generation replaces the marginal generator (i.e., the generation that is most likely to be displaced as the next dispatch option in the electricity system) in each region. The marginal generators in each country are listed here: combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) generation for Ireland and Spain, nuclear generation for France and Sweden, biomass generation for Finland, and coal generation for Germany. The "Operating margin" approach is the preferred option under PCAF guidance for measuring carbon avoided. Carbon emissions factors (gCO2/kWh) for the marginal generator in each region is sourced from an IEA dataset (2024). Nuclear carbon emissions factor is sourced from IPCC.

 

 

 

Ronan Murphy, Non-Executive Chairman of Greencoat Renewables, said:

 

 

"2025 saw a strong operational performance against the backdrop of low wind volumes across Europe. Our net cash generation was robust, and our dividend well covered. Beyond our operational performance, the business has been focused on broader strategy in response to the persistent discounts to NAV across the sector. We are today announcing a new proactive approach of significant scale.

 

Following a holistic portfolio review, we have begun an initial €300+ million asset disposal program to recycle capital and tighten focus on our strongest markets. In the near-term, and our highest priority, we will be returning significant capital to shareholders via our intended €100 million share buyback programme and deleveraging the business. 

 

Alongside this we are making measured but important investments for the medium term, including the launch of a new green digital infrastructure platform to develop green energy data centres and energy parks. Looking forward, Greencoat Renewables has a clear plan; the scale, quality, and cashflows to move strategically and return capital to investors; and an exciting opportunity set for which we are building the foundations."
