In addition, the focus of renewable energy business was on the active development of the fund's project development portfolio and operation of projects already in production of Taaleri SolarWind II Fund.

Insurance service result increased to EUR 4.0 million. Garantia's net income from investment operations increased to EUR 4.8 million as a result of the strong development of the stock market and the stabilisation of the interest rate environment.

The business continued supporting the growth and profitability of the portfolio companies of Taaleri Bioindustry I Fund, mapping potential investees for the fund and provisional fundraising for the venture capital fund.

Our optimism is boosted by for example the stabilisation of the interest rate environment, the pick-up of the investment and fundraising markets, and, especially from an international perspective and the better-than-expected momentum of general economic development in early 2024.

  • The projects of the Taaleri SolarWind III Fund are mainly based on the project development portfolio acquired from Taaleri Energia, several of the projects of which were promoted towards a construction decision during the period. At the end of the review period, one of the fund's projects was already in the construction phase.
  • The Taaleri SolarWind II Fund focused on the high-quality and efficient operation of projects already in production.
  • In addition, preparations continued to exit the Taaleri Wind II and Taaleri Wind III Funds, which are at the end of their lifecycle.
