Fiscal Year 2025

Delivered strong Q4 and full-year results, exceeding Free Cash Flow targets and advancing major wind and battery projects. 2026 guidance anticipates significant EBITDA growth, with disciplined capital allocation and a focus on core markets in Europe and Canada.
-
A new strategy focuses on disciplined, self-funded growth in core markets, targeting a doubling of capacity and 6% annual free cash flow growth by 2030.

Q3 2025 saw strong operational performance and a 13% YoY rise in adjusted EBITDA, but a CAD 527 million impairment at North Sea One led to a net loss. The dividend was recalibrated to CAD 0.72 per share to support self-funded growth and maintain an investment-grade balance sheet.
-
Q2 2025 saw major construction milestones, including the early completion of the Oneida battery project and progress at Hai Long and Baltic Power. Financial results were impacted by low offshore wind resources, leading to lower EBITDA and revised guidance, but onshore and storage assets performed strongly.

Q1 2025 saw strong operational execution and project milestones, including the early, under-budget completion of the Oneida battery storage project and continued progress on major offshore wind projects.
