Comment from Daniel Fitzgerald, CEO of Orrön Energy
“This has been a significant quarter for Orrön Energy, defined by the announcement of the Cloudberry transaction, through which we will become the largest shareholder in a leading Nordic IPP. By combining our Nordic renewable energy platforms, excluding Karskruv, we will create a company of scale in Cloudberry with 2.1 TWh of annual proportionate power generation. Upon closing, Orrön Energy will hold a 27.01 percent ownership stake in Cloudberry and have two Board representatives. We will take an active ownership role, bringing the network and experience from the Lundin Group of Companies, and help drive Cloudberry’s development as a larger and more diversified Nordic IPP. The enlarged platform will be well positioned to pursue further consolidation and growth opportunities across the Nordic power markets.
For our shareholders, the transaction emphasises four clear pockets of value: a significant shareholding in Cloudberry, representing SEK 5.7 per share or 80 percent of our current market capitalisation1, continued ownership of our European development business with attractive growth opportunities, long-term cash flows from the Karskruv asset, and increased financial flexibility as we expect to have close to zero net debt upon closing of the Cloudberry transaction. Together, this provides us with a strong foundation to create long-term value and a clear means of demonstrating the value of the Company to all stakeholders.
I am pleased that we continued to make good progress across our European development platform, and we can clearly see the financial impact in 2026. In April 2026, we sold a 91 MW solar project in Germany for a total consideration of up to MEUR 5.4, of which we received MEUR 2.4 at closing. We also achieved further project milestones resulting in additional revenues of MEUR 1.3 during the quarter, bringing total revenues from project sales since the start of the year to MEUR 5.3, with further proceeds of MEUR 7.7 contingent on the achievement of development milestones.
In the UK, we have launched sales processes for our 1.8 GW solar energy portfolio, and a 300 MW data centre project. Depending on the market, finalisation of the solar transaction may await the issuance of formal grid details, expected no later than early 2027, to support optimal value realisation.
Data centres are becoming an increasingly valuable part of our European development platform, and our experience in developing power projects, combined with our power-first strategy, positions us well in this growing market, where access to power and grid capacity has become a key constraint. We have a 4 GW data centre pipeline across Germany and the UK which, together with our 8 GW portfolio of solar and battery projects, creates significant value potential and gives us a range of strategic options for this business.
We achieved an electricity price of EUR 70 per MWh at our core asset Karskruv during the reporting period. Coupled with revenues from project sales, this contributed to an EBITDA of MEUR 1.8 from continuing operations, including Sudan legal costs of MEUR 4.1 and demonstrates the underlying value of our combined power generation and development platform.
Finally, the proceedings in the Sudan legal case concluded during the second quarter with a judgement expected in December 2026, bringing to a close an extraordinarily long process based on allegations that remain unsupported by any form of evidence after more than two and a half years in court. In connection with the conclusion of the trial, claims of approximately MEUR 76 for reimbursement of historical defence costs were submitted, reflecting the extensive work undertaken over more than 15 years to review investigation materials relating to events dating back nearly 30 years and to prepare the defence in a historically long trial. With the trial now concluded, ongoing legal costs have reduced significantly, and I remain firmly convinced that neither the Company nor its former representatives committed any wrongdoing and that the outcome will be a full acquittal.
I would like to thank all of our shareholders for your loyal support and look forward to updating you on our progress.”
