Arise AB: Interim report 1 January - 31 March 2024

Stable earnings and a focus on accelerating projects to the divestment phase

CEO comment:

We are now wrapping up an intense first quarter with good progress in all markets in terms of project development and stable, favourable production revenue in line with our expectations with a positive contribution from price hedging. The company is now in its next phase, where we will deliver projects for sale at a higher frequency. We are focusing on accelerating projects to the divestment phase and thereby delivering on our targets of a total of 400 MW in 2024-2025 and 500 MW annually thereafter, with strong earnings and increased shareholder value as a natural consequence. For the current year, the ambition remains to conduct at least one project sale.
