Hydropower production returned to normal and sales price was up 11% in one year’s time.

In the presentation to analysts in item ’Group cash flow statement’ EBITDA should read including REC or simply EBITDA as opposed to excluding . The REC investment is valued at fair value and the value impairnment charged to operating profit. As of today, REC share price has continued to decline notably.
