[SMM Flash News] Iberdrola Q1 Adjusted Profit Rises 11.4% on Network Growth and Brazilian Expansion

German renewable energy developer PNE AG has successfully completed the sale of its 25.2 MW Bokel wind farm, located in Lower Saxony, to an investment fund managed by Union Investment. The facility, which consists of seven wind turbines and was commissioned in April 2025, produces enough green electricity to power approximately 17,800 three-person households annually. While the financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed, PNE’s subsidiary, energy consult, will retain technical and commercial management of the site until at least late 2029, ensuring operational continuity under the new ownership.

Spanish energy major Repsol reported an adjusted net loss of €4 million for its low carbon generation unit in Q1 2026, a sharp reversal from the €2 million profit recorded a year earlier. While total electricity generation surged 57.4% to 3.35 TWh—supported by new wind and solar assets and increased gas-fired output—operating income for the division fell 50% year-on-year to €12 million. This decline was primarily driven by a 49.7% drop in Spanish wholesale electricity prices, which averaged €43.3/MWh during the quarter due to exceptional rainfall. Despite the Renewables segment’s operating income falling by €18 million, the group's overall adjusted EBITDA for the unit managed a slight 1.9% increase to €53 million.
