Voltalia SA: strong rebound in production in H2, reaching an all-time high

Voltalia (Euronext Paris, ISIN code: FR0011995588), an international player in renewable energies, publishes today its FY 2018 preliminary power production data.

"To joyfully start this new year, I am glad to share that we have set a new high in the second semester of 2018, with production reaching 1.28 TWh, up by 59% compared with the first semester. This performance was driven by good wind conditions in Brazil and high availability rates globally, thanks to our effective operation and maintenance program. These record production levels support our outlook for an overall strong second half of 2018 and allow us to start 2019 full of confidence: records are made to be broken!" comments Sébastien Clerc, Chief Executive Officer of Voltalia.
