The adjusted EBITDA for RWE’s hydropower, biomass and gas business came to €430m, up from €382m in the same period last year.

RWE chief financial officer Michael Müller said: “Our portfolio capacity is growing fast, as 3.8GW of wind power and solar plants, as well as storage facilities, are currently under construction.

“That will easily take us to our target of more than 13GW by 2022. We are also expanding our pipeline by adding a number of new and attractive projects.”

Earlier this year, RWE announced plans to establish an airborne wind energy (AWE) technology testing facility in County Mayo, Ireland.
