Statkraft AS: Result for the first quarter
Record-high operating result
(Oslo, 6 May 2021) Higher power prices and increasedgeneration resulted in a record-high underlying operating result. Statkraft continued to deliver on its strategy and initiated new renewable projects in the quarter.
The underlying EBIT was NOK 7.2 billion in the quarter, an increase of NOK 3.1 billion from the first quarter last year.
“The underlying operating result was the best ever achieved in a single quarter, following higher Nordic power prices and successful energy management”, says CEO Christian Rynning-Tønnesen.
The average Nordic system price was 42.3 EUR/MWh, an increase of 26.9 EUR compared with the low price in the first quarter of 2020. Total power generation increased by 16 per cent to 20.6 TWh.
A strengthening of NOK against EUR had a positive effect on net financial items, which ended at NOK 1.5 billion. Net profit was NOK 4.8 billion, an increase of NOK 6.7 billion compared with the result in the first quarter last year.
Cash flow from operating activities in the quarter was solid at NOK 4 billion. The net interest-bearing debt to equity ratio was 18.6 per cent, giving room for significant new investments within renewable energy.
During the quarter, Statkraft initiated several new projects. In Chile, the company has decided to build its first wind farms, broadening the company’s renewable energy portfolio in the region. The 102 MW project consists of three wind farms, which are expected to generate more than 300 GWh of renewable energy annually.
In addition, Statkraft has signed a collaboration agreement with Yara and Aker Horizons, aiming to establish Europe’s first large-scale green ammonia project in Norway. Statkraft also entered into a partnership with Aker Offshore Wind to explore offshore wind in the southern North Sea outside Norway.
“Statkraft continues to develop new business opportunities in the green transition, which also support sustainable development goals and value creation”, says CEO Rynning-Tønnesen.
Following the transfer of the operatorship of the Roan wind farm to TrønderEnergi in February, Statkraft has divested the ownership interest in the wind farm to TrønderEnergi and Stadtwerke München. Statkraft will maintain its ownership and role as an operator of the five remaining wind farms in Fosen Vind. The sale proceeds will further strengthen Statkraft’s financial capacity to invest in renewable energy.

Bavarian Nordic leverer vacciner til Englands beredskab i forbindelse med nye tilfælde af abekopper11.6.2021 19:12:35 CEST | pressemeddelelse
KØBENHAVN, Danmark, 11. juni 2021 – Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA) meddelte i dag, at selskabet for nylig er blevet anmodet af de engelske sundhedsmyndigheder, Public Health England (PHE) og Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), om at levere koppevaccinen IMVANEX® til vaccination i forbindelse med nye, udefrakommende tilfælde af abekopper i mennesker i England. To relaterede tilfælde er blevet bekræftet og er blevet indlagt på et hospital i Liverpool. Den ene er sandsynligvis blevet smittet i Afrika, hvorfra familien ankom et par dage inden sygdommen brød ud, mens den anden sandsynligvis er blevet smittet af det første tilfælde efter hjemkomsten. Abekopper er en sjælden, men alvorlig sygdom, der naturligt forekommer i det centrale og det vestlige Afrika. Sygdommen er beslægtet med den menneskelige koppesygdom, om end den er mindre alvorlig med en dødelighed, der er estimeret til at være fra 1-10% af tilfældene. IMVANEX (MVA-BN) er godkendt af Europa-Kommissionen til

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, June 11, 2021 – Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA) announced today that the Company was recently engaged by Public Health England (PHE) and the Medicines and Health Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to supply its IMVANEX® smallpox vaccine in response to new cases of monkeypox in the UK. Two related cases were confirmed and admitted to a hospital in Liverpool. One was most likely infected in Africa, where the family arrived from a few days before onset of disease, and a sibling case most likely infected on UK soil by the first case. Monkeypox is a rare, but serious disease, which is endemic in Central and West Africa. The disease is quite similar to human smallpox, although it is less severe with an estimated fatality rate of 1-10%. IMVANEX (MVA-BN) is approved by the European Commission for active immunization against smallpox but has also received approval for monkeypox by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada, as the only vaccine approved for
