A good quarter in an extraordinary market
Elspot prices have been increasing throughout the third quarter, from a level of around 0.5 NOK/kWh in the southern part of Norway at the beginning of the quarter and reaching a high of more than 1.2 NOK/kWh in September 2021. For reference, the Norwegian area prices at the end of September 2020 were at an all-time low, around 0.02 NOK/kWh.
The increasing elspot prices represent a more challenging market sentiment for Fjordkraft. Despite this challenging market, Fjordkraft has been able to grow net revenue, i.a. through the hedging strategy on variable contracts and simultaneously offer the customers a strong value proposition with prices lower than the market price. Net revenue increase 29% YoY and EBIT adj. increase 13% YoY, and after a couple of challenging quarters, the organic growth in the Norwegian market is positive again.
