Swedish wind project developer Eolus Vind AB (STO:EOLU-B) on Thursday reported a net loss of SEK 4.6 million (USD 525,000/EUR 449,000) in the fiscal quarter through May, narrowing its year-ago deficit of SEK 5.7 million.
The smaller loss comes on the back of a rise in sales, which improved to SEK 22.6 million in the third fiscal quarter from SEK 9.3 million a year back. Electricity production from owned wind farms declined to 6.3 GWh from 11.6 GWh, with an average revenue of SEK 532 per MWh, against SEK 407 per MWh a year back.
More details about the company’s performance in the March-May quarter (Q3) and the first nine months of the fiscal year are shown in the table.
