Operating profit (EBITDA) increased by 4.4% compared to the same period of the previous year.

Operating income decreased by 2.1%, due to the 9.6% decrease in the weighted average price of electricity sold in the first half of 2020 compared to the weighted average price in the same period of 2019, whilst the sale of a total quantity of electricity was higher by 8.6%.

The total value of SNN’s investment program for 2020 is of 309.5 million lei (excluding the component allocated to the payment of the debt service related to long-term loans).
