RWE’s adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased from €2.3bn to €2.4bn on a YoY basis.
During the nine-month period, RWE made a €2.5bn gross investment in its wind and solar operations, as well as batteries. This investment was 80% greater than that made a year earlier.
The company achieved an adjusted EBITDA of €1.6bn in its core business, down from €1.8bn in the same period of last year.
This decline was attributed to losses incurred due to extreme weather conditions in Texas.
