Pierluigi Tortora PLT energia CEO commented: '2016 has been a crucial year for the Group, mainly due to the large amount of investments for the construction of new wind farms which have allowed to increase by 30%, and one year in advance, the total installed capacity owned by the Group, compared with that foreseen in the business plan presented to the investors during the listing.
This has been possible thanks to the vertical integration of the business and operating efficiency of the Group throughout the entire supply chain, with a resulting cash generation, and thanks to the disposal of the assets realized and managed by the Group in joint venture with Enel Green Power.
The achieved dimension of the Group in terms of electricity production in the renewable sector, together with the vertical integration of the activities, from the up to the downstream, will favor the ambitious strategic goals that we intend to plan in the next industrial plan which will be finalized during 2017.
The main economic and profitability indicators for 2016 are very positive and confirm the choices made in recent years as well as they are claiming the growth of the Group at solid rates.'Please note that the financial statements and consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with Italian accounting principles, incorporate the changes introduced by Legislative Decree. 18/08/2015 n. 139 (so called 'Decree budgets'), published in the Official Gazette 09/04/2015 no. 205, regarding, among other aspects, also the general principles of the financial statements and methods of valuation.
