Segment Performance

Offshore Wind segment's adjusted EBITDA was €915 million, down from €1,079 million in 2024, due to lower wind conditions and reduced proceeds from electricity sales. The Onshore Wind/Solar segment saw growth, with adjusted EBITDA rising to €1,242 million from €990 million, driven by new asset commissioning and higher power prices in the US. Flexible Generation's adjusted EBITDA normalized to €1,058 million, impacted by lower margins but boosted by a €225 million gain from a UK data center project sale. Supply & Trading's adjusted EBITDA was €150 million, significantly lower than the previous year's €465 million.
