Enersense strategy ENG 19062024

Insider information: Enersense has revised its strategy and will focus on its core businesses – project and service operations for the green energy transition

Enersense International Plc
Insider information, 19 June 2024 at 2.25 p.m.

Enersense will focus, principally in Finland and the Baltics, on strengthening its significant market position in its Power, Industry and Connectivity business areas, which provide energy, telecommunications and industrial companies involved in the green energy transition with demanding project and service operations on a broad scale. In 2023, the revenue of these project and service operations were over EUR 300 million and EBITDA approximately EUR 20 million.

Enersense abandons its previous strategic goal of becoming a producer of zero-emission energy. The company is conducting a strategic assessment of its onshore wind power and solar power project development operations and is considering selling them. The company’s project portfolio totals roughly 5 gigawatts in addition to which it has projects worth of approximately 7 gigawatts in feasibility study phase. The company sees significant value in its project development operations. The company is also conducting a strategic assessment of its offshore wind power operations and its business focused on the development of zero-emission transport solutions, the future outlook of which is positive, but their development needs significant growth capital.

“We will focus on our core business operations: providing high-quality services that enable a sustainable green energy transition for our partners in the energy, telecommunications and industrial sectors principally in Finland and the Baltics. The company has launched a group-wide efficiency programme to support its profit-making capability. We are looking for a new CEO to determinedly implement our strategy, improve the company’s profitability and increase the shareholder value. I take this opportunity to thank the Board’s Strategy Committee for their work on the strategy revision,” says Jaakko Eskola, Chair of the Board of Directors.

In its organizational meeting after the Annual General Meeting on 4 April 2024, Enersense’s Board of Directors decided to establish a Strategy Committee to assist the Board in decisions regarding strategy. The Strategy Committee has now completed its task and the Committee’s activities will be discontinued.

Carl Haglund has acted as the Chairperson of the Strategy Committee and Anders Dahlblom, Anna Miettinen and Ville Vuori as members.

Agreement with financing providers on a new revolving credit facility to implement the strategy

Enersense has entered into an agreement with its financing providers on a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (RCF) to support the implementation of the company’s strategy. The price of the new financing is tied to Euribor added with a margin of 3,5% per annum. The new RCF will expire on 31 May 2025, and it is guaranteed until its expiry by Virala Oy Ab and Ensto Invest Oy companies, to which a 5% guarantee fee will be paid on market terms for the lifetime of the guarantee.

In conjunction with the RCF, changes have been made in covenants related to the group’s equity ratio, the net debt to EBITDA ratio and minimum liquidity regarding total financing provided for the company.

Distribution of funds as a return of capital not exercised

The Board of Directors will not exercise the right to distribute funds as a return of capital as authorised at the Annual General Meeting on 4 April 2024. Based on the authorisation provided at the AGM on 4 April 2024, the Board of Directors could have decided on distribution of funds as a return of capital of at most EUR 0.10 per share in two instalments between July and December 2024 as determined by the Board of Directors.

Low-emission steel piloted for the first time in Fingrid’s substation structures in Harjavalta

Enersense International Plc
Press release, 6 June 2024 at 2:00 p.m.

Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, won a contract in Fingrid’s public bidding process at the beginning of the year for the construction of three new 110 kV substations in the Harjavalta area. The substations will be built as gas insulated switchgear (GIS) using a gas insulation solution that does not contain any SF6 gas which is a significant greenhouse gas.

As part of the project, Enersense’s delivery includes all steel structures to be built in the substation area, requiring a total of 76,000 kg of steel. The structures consist of 110 kV transmission line portals to be built in the substation area. There will be substation portals for connecting a total of fourteen transmission lines and they will be made of hot-dip galvanized steel.

Through its partners, Enersense procures all the steel structures in question as low-emission steel. In this project, low-emission steel means that the structures to be delivered are made of recycled steel and their carbon dioxide emissions are, on average, approximately 40% lower compared to structures manufactured using iron ore-based production methods.

The project is Fingrid’s first of this scale in Finland where all steel structures in the substation area will be delivered made of low-emission steel.

“Our experts have worked hard to find more sustainable steel solutions. Our procurement department has been in contact with nearly 100 different suppliers around the world to find suitable steel structures with lower emissions. We are excited about the result, but we know that this is only the first step towards sustainable steel construction. Fingrid has played a very important role in the realisation of the project. Such projects can be implemented when the end user is genuinely committed to their own emission targets,” says Eero Törmä, Engineering Manager for substations, Power at Enersense.

“Sustainability means actions and choices in everyday life. It’s easy to hide behind different reporting frameworks and abbreviations. Fingrid has a significant positive impact on climate change mitigation as we build an electricity network that will enable Finland to reduce emissions through electrification. We are ready to reduce our own negative climate impacts by switching to such electricity network structures in the future, the manufacture or use of which does not cause emissions. Steel is a key material in the formation of the climate impacts of grid construction, and we monitor the availability and suitability of low-emission products in this regard. It is better to be at the forefront of development doing things and showing the way than to be led by others in the rear,” says Timo Kiiveri, Executive Vice President at Fingrid.

Enersense enters into a new partnership agreement with P2X

Enersense International Plc
Press release, 31 May 2024 at 1:00 p.m.

The Industry business area of Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, and P2X Solutions have entered into a new partnership agreement to deepen their cooperation on the operation and maintenance of the new production plant in Harjavalta. This agreement is a significant step in Finland’s energy transition, in which hydrogen plays a key role.

The role of hydrogen in the energy transition is unique, as it enables the production and storage of clean and renewable energy. Hydrogen can be used in a variety of ways in industry and transport, making it a crucial factor in the transition to a fossil-free future. The cooperation has previously included Enersense’s participation in project implementation, and now it is expanding to also cover operation and maintenance. This enables more efficient and sustainable energy production.

“The construction of our Harjavalta plant has progressed well, with more than 700 consecutive days without lost-time accidents on the site. In cooperation with Enersense, we want to ensure that the commissioning and operation of the plant will also run safely and reliably,” says Herkko Plit, CEO at P2X Solutions.

“The new partnership agreement supports our strategy of providing our customers with sustainable solutions for the energy transition. Hydrogen is becoming increasingly important, and we are committed to promoting its use,” says Mikko Luoma, Vice President, Smart Services, Industry at Enersense.

Deepening the cooperation in operation and maintenance ensures that hydrogen is produced as efficiently and sustainably as possible, thus supporting long-term climate targets.

Insider information: Enersense writes down a 6-MEUR receivable following an arbitral tribunal’s decision in Lithuania, and withdraws its 2024 EBITDA guidance for the time being

Enersense International Plc
Insider information 29 April.2024 at 11:50 p.m.

Enersense has been informed, on 29 April 2024, about a decision made by an arbitral tribunal in Lithuania regarding a dispute between Enersense and Litgrid, Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator over an agreement about receivables and deliveries concerning two projects that have been executed in Lithuania during 2021-2023. Enersense initiated arbitration proceedings in the matter in April 2023. According to the decision of the arbitral tribunal, Litgrid is obliged to pay to Enersense approximately EUR 1 million. Based on the decision of the arbitral tribunal, Enersense writes down EUR 6 million from a EUR-7-million receivable it had recorded in the 2022 financial statements. The write-down will have a corresponding negative impact on the EBITDA in the second quarter of 2024.

The company will investigate the decision of the arbitral tribunal more in detail and assess further legal measures.

Enersense withdraws its EBITDA guidance given for the year 2024 for the time being. The company’s estimate on the revenue development in 2024 will remain unchanged.

Company’s guidance for the year 2024 issued on 29 February 2024

In 2024, Enersense’s revenue is expected to be in the range of EUR 365–435 million and EBITDA in the range of EUR 15–25 million.

The revenue is expected to grow in 2024. Outlook especially for the company’s growth areas is favourable. The EBITDA is expected to grow. Profitability is expected to improve even if the investments in growth continue.

European energy company Alpiq acquires majority share of Enersense’s associated company P2X Solutions

Enersense International Plc
Investor news, 12 April 2024 at 8:00 a.m.

Enersense’s associated company P2X Solutions (P2X), a Finnish forerunner of green hydrogen, and Alpiq, a leading Swiss energy services provider and European electricity producer, have agreed on a financing arrangement according to which Alpiq will invest approximately 47 million euros in P2X. With the investment, Alpiq becomes the majority owner of P2X. Respectively, in connection with the arrangement, Enersense’s shareholding will decrease to approximately 9 percent. Enersense continues at the Board of P2X and thus treats it as an associated company. P2X’s ownership arrangement does not have a cash flow impact on Enersense, nor has it any impact on the investment’s balance sheet value.

P2X is currently constructing Finland’s first industrial scale green hydrogen production plant in Harjavalta, Finland. The company is also planning hydrogen production plants in Joensuu and Oulu.

“Enersense has been a co-owner of P2X since 2022. As an enabler of the energy transition, it is important for us to be part of building Finland’s hydrogen market, and it is wonderful to have an international specialist in renewable energy and the energy transition like Alpiq joining our efforts. By its significant investment, Alpiq substantially strengthens P2X’s position and ability to scale up their business. This is an indication of Alpiq’s strong faith in P2X in leading the way in hydrogen in Finland. We believe that this arrangement will also offer other cooperation opportunities as well,” says Enersense’s CEO Jussi Holopainen.

Alpiq generates electricity and offers its customers services in the fields of energy generation and marketing as well as energy optimization in several key markets in Europe, as well as in Finland with its own team since several years. The company has a particularly strong position and over 100 years of experience in hydropower production in Switzerland. Alpiq’s adjusted net revenue (excluding non-operating effects) in 2023 was over 8.5 billion euros (8.4 billion CHF).

Target of 1,000 MW new wind power projects reached well ahead of the schedule

Enersense International Plc
Investor news, 19 March 2024 at 3:10 p.m.

The targeted development phase for the new 1,000 MW wind power project portfolio has been achieved more than 1 year earlier than expected. Originally the target was set for May 2025 in the cooperation agreement signed in May 2022 between Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, and VALOREM, a French origin developer and green IPP. The 1000-MW portfolio is under land use planning and EIA processes.

“We are glad that Enersense was quicker than expected to submit this new 1GW portfolio and excited for our collaboration for the next milestones,“ says Gwenaël Jestin, Head of International Development for VALOREM Group.

Based on a previous cooperation agreement made in 2015, Enersense has already earlier started development of altogether 500 MW of wind projects together with VALOREM Group.

“Enersense Wind, part of Enersense’s Power business area, has proven that the expertise of its skilled and professional team in the identification of potential areas and the development of projects is paying off. Apart from the 1,500 MW portfolio now under development with VALOREM Group, a total of 6,900 MW of onshore wind power projects in Enersense’s wind power portfolio and all upcoming new onshore wind power projects are owned and managed by Enersense solely and support the company’s target of starting its own energy production,” says Sirpa Smids, Vice President of Renewable Energy in the Power business area.

The Board of Directors of Enersense international plc decided on the group key employee incentive plan

Enersense International Plc
Stock Exchange Release 29 February 2024 at 1:30 p.m.

The Board of Directors of Enersense International Plc has decided on new share-based incentive plan directed to the Group key employees. The aim is to align the objectives of the shareholders and key employees for increasing the value of the company in the long-term, to retain the key employees at the company and to offer them competitive incentive plan that is based on earning and accumulating the company’s shares. The new incentive plan is a continuation of the Performance Share Plan 2023–2025 decided in February 2023. The new Performance Share Plan 2024–2026 consists of one performance period, covering the financial years 2024–2026.

In the plan, the target group is given an opportunity to earn Enersense International Plc shares based on performance. The rewards of the plan are based on the absolute total shareholder return of the company’s share (TSR) for the financial years 2024—2026, on the Group’s cumulative EBITDA in euro for the financial years 2024—2026, and on the execution of the Group’s ESG program.

The potential rewards based on the plan will be paid after the end of the performance period, in spring 2027. The rewards will be paid partly in Enersense International Plc shares and partly in cash. The cash proportions of the rewards are intended for covering taxes and statutory social security contributions arising from the rewards to the participants. In general, no reward is paid if the participant’s employment or director contract terminates before the reward payment.

The rewards to be paid based on the plan correspond to the value of an approximate maximum total of 369,784 Enersense International Plc shares, also including the proportion to be paid in cash. Approximately 40 persons, including the President and CEO and other members of the Group Executive Team, belong to the target group of the plan.

The President and CEO of Enersense International Plc and the member of the Group Executive Team must own at least 50 per cent of the shares received as a net reward from the plan, until the value of the President and CEO’s shareholding in Enersense International Plc equals to his annual base salary of the preceding year, and until the value of other Group Executive Team member’s shareholding in Enersense International Plc equals to 50 per cent of their annual base salary of the preceding year.

Enersense selected as the main contractor to upgrade Fingrid’s network in Harjavalta

Enersense International Plc
Investor news, 5 February 2024 at 11:00 a.m.

Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, has won Fingrid’s public bidding process to build three new 110 kV substations in the Harjavalta area. The substations will be built as gas insulated switchgear (GIS) using a gas insulation solution that does not contain any SF6 gas which is a significant greenhouse gas. The project will continue until the summer of 2027. The value of the contract is roughly EUR 20 million which will be recognised in the order books of the Power business area for the first quarter of 2024.

“We are happy to continue our successful cooperation with Enersense’s skilled and enthusiastic personnel. The SF6-free projects completed last year in Luukkala and currently in progress in Framnäs following the same concept have proceeded very well, and it will be productive to replicate the lessons learned from them,” says Daniel Kuosa, Head of Substation Projects at Fingrid.

The project is significant for Enersense. “Our order books will be strengthened far into the future, and we can also maintain our position as a provider of sustainable GIS substation solutions. What is more, this project is an excellent extension to our ongoing projects in which we are using the same technology,” says Joni Parkkinen, Vice President of Transmission Networks at Enersense.

The contract agreement will be signed after the appeal period laid down in the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts.

Investor news, 29 November 2023 at 1:00 p.m.

Enersense, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, has entered into an agreement with Ilmatar Energy on the construction of the Korpilevonmäki wind farm in Säkylä. The order will be recognised in the order book of Enersense’s Power segment for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Ilmatar’s Korpilevonmäki wind farm consists of six turbines. The construction project started in November, and the contract is expected to be completed in autumn 2024. Enersense’s delivery includes the construction of roads and lifting areas in the farm, turbine foundations and the internal network as a turnkey delivery.

“This is our first construction project for Ilmatar in our history of wind power construction, and we are of course very happy of our selection as the main contractor for the Korpilevonmäki wind farm. The project is a perfect fit for our core expertise and strengthens our cooperation as a provider of wind power services,” says Pekka Pitkämö, Vice President of Sales in Enersense’s Renewable Energy segment.

“The Korpilevonmäki wind farm is a very important project for Ilmatar and increases the generation of renewable energy in Finland. While the construction schedule is tight and the market situation is challenging, Enersense’s extensive experience in infrastructure construction in wind power projects convinced us. The construction of the wind farm will start immediately, and we look forward to working with Enersense,” says Antti Lehtinen, Director of Procurement at Ilmatar.

Ilmatar is a Nordic energy company and an independent power producer that focuses exclusively on renewable energy. It operates in the development, construction, ownership and maintenance of renewable energy, especially wind and solar power projects. The total output of Ilmatar’s onshore and offshore wind power and solar power projects that are at different stages in the Nordic countries is more than 20 GW.

Enersense selected as the main contractor for Fingrid’s Nuojuankangas–Pyhänselkä substation project

Enersense International Plc
Investor news, 6 June 2023 at 10:30 a.m.

Enersense, a creator of zero emission energy solutions, has won the bidding process for Fingrid’s substation contract to build a new transformer substation and expand the 110 kV switchgear in Nuojuankangas. The project also includes the expansion of the substation in Pyhänselkä. The project will employ Enersense until spring 2026. The value of the contract is more than EUR 20 million, and it will be included in Enersense’s Power segment’s second quarter 2023 order book.

The project is part of Fingrid’s larger project to build a new power transmission line from Pyhänselkä to Huutokoski (expansion of the Järvilinja transmission line). The expanded Järvilinja transmission line ensures and maintains the high reliability of the main grid as the need for electricity transmission increases.

“Strengthening Järvilinja is needed in order to transmit renewable energy from northern Finland as well as electricity through Aurora Line from Sweden to southern Finland. In addition, the new capacity enables connecting wind power and industrial sites in eastern Finland and Kainuu region. Substation projects in Pyhänselkä, Muhos and Nuojuankangas, Vaala are the first major steps in strengthening Järvilinja. It is great to execute these projects together with Enersense. The project is important to both Finland’s main grid and the whole society as it enhances achieving Finland’s climate goals and national competitiveness,” says Daniel Kuosa, Construction Manager, Fingrid.

This project is very significant for Enersense.

“New transmission lines are required as the energy transition proceeds, and it is wonderful that we can carry out this significant customer project in substation construction. This contract strengthens our portfolio in carrying out demanding projects in Finland’s main grid and marks one of the largest projects in the history of Enersense’s transmission network operations,” says Joni Parkkinen, Vice President of Enersense Transmission Networks.

The procurement agreement can be signed once the appeal period in accordance with the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts has ended.

Enersense to explore options to further accelerate execution of growth ambitions to become a significant zero-emission energy producer

Enersense International Plc
Stock exchange release 1 June 2023 at 10:00 a.m.

Enersense has initiated an evaluation of options to further accelerate its growth ambitions within its Power segment, specifically the strategy to become a significant zero-emission energy producer. Enersense’s energy production target by 2027 is 600–700 MW, of which 600 MW would be wind power and 100 MW solar power.

The options to be considered include creating a new, separate Enersense subsidiary for renewable energy development and production and engaging with external parties to identify possible partners that would support an acceleration of the growth strategy. Enersense has engaged BNP Paribas as financial advisor to assist with the evaluation.

Enersense will carefully evaluate the various options and take the necessary time to consider the best possible solution. Enersense will give an update in due course, if any concrete outcome were to materialise.

Enersense chosen as main contractor for Gigawatti Oy’s Oosinselkä wind farm infrastructure construction

Enersense International Plc
Investor news 17 April 2023 at 11:35 a.m.

Enersense International, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, has agreed with Gigawatti Oy about construction of the Oosinselkä wind farm in Luvia at Eurajoki, Finland. The order has been booked into Enersense’s Power business area’s first quarter 2023 order book.

Gigawatti Oy’s Oosinselkä wind farm consists of 13 turbines. Enersense will begin the construction works in the summer of 2023. According to plans, the project will be completed by the end of 2024. Enersense will provide construction of the wind farm’s roads and platforms, foundations and internal network as a turnkey delivery.

“The Oosinselkä wind farm is a continuation to the cooperatives long-term investments to increase their own renewable energy. When completed, the wind farm will produce approximately a fifth of the S Group’s electricity demand. Enersense’s long experience of wind farms’ infrastructure construction was decisive in the selection of the contractor,” says Mikko Halonen, CEO, S-Voima.

”This project in the growing wind power market is important for Enersense. We are very pleased that Gigawatti Oy chose us as their partner in this investment. This enables us to extend our good cooperation from wind power maintenance also to construction projects,” says Maija Isoaho, Head of wind power construction for Enersense’s Power business area.

Gigawatti Oy is fully owned by S-Voima Oy, who is responsible for the S Group’s electricity procurement. S-Voima Oy is owned by the cooperatives and SOK together.

Enersense chosen as main contractor for Fingrid’s project to expand substations in Huittinen-Forssa

Enersense International Plc
Investor news 14 April 2023 at 2:25 p.m.

Enersense International, a provider of zero-emission energy solutions, has won a project in Fingrid’s public procurement tendering regarding substation expansions in Huittinen-Forssa, Finland.

Expanding the substations enables a new transmission link which increases the transmission capacity for electricity and enables for its part the transmission of the excess wind power from the growing west coast production to Southern Finland. It also enables connections for renewable electricity production.

The project will employ Enersense for approximately three years and its preparations will begin immediately. The value of the project is approximately EUR 13 million and it has been booked into Power business area’s first quarter 2023 order book.

“The new Forssa-Huittinen 400 kV transmission link is an important project for both the Finnish grid and society. In the south, consumption of electricity is increasing. At the same time, production is decreasing and is being replaced with wind and nuclear power in the north, which increases the need for electricity transmission. The link will be built responsibly so that it replaces the current 110 kV power line in order to reduce the impact of land use. The connection will essentially increase reliability in maintenance and failure situations. Additionally, in connection with the expansion works, the protection and automation i.e. smart systems of the substations will be modernized. Cooperation with Enersense has always been straightforward and the quality of project execution has been excellent”, says Daniel Kuosa, Construction Manager, Fingrid.

This substation expansion project is important to Enersense.

“Energy transition is proceeding which means new transmission connections are needed. The substation expansions will enable this. Our goal is to enhance the energy transition for our part. At the same time the project strengthens our portfolio as an implementor of demanding Finnish national grid projects,” says Joni Parkkinen, Vice President, Transmission Networks business area at Enersense.

The decision shall enter into force after the end of the appeal period under the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts.
