EDP Renováveis S.A. (ISIN ES0144580Y14), the Lisbon based renewables subsidiary of Energias de Portugal, has seen EDP Renovaveis stock trade close to its 52 week high in recent months, supported by resilient earnings, a growing asset base and a higher dividend from fiscal 2024 cash flows. As of 30 May 2024, the shares changed hands at around EUR 14.50 on Euronext Lisbon, compared with a 52 week high near EUR 15.40 and a low close to EUR 11.00, indicating that the market is pricing in steady long term growth in installed capacity and earnings despite volatile power prices. For investors, the combination of earnings visibility and a disciplined capital allocation framework now appears central to the valuation of EDP Renovaveis stock.
Revenue up high single digits
According to the company’s full year 2024 reporting published on the investor relations section of EDP Renovaveis Investor Relations, group revenues rose in 2024 to approximately EUR 2.3 billion, an increase of about 7% compared with roughly EUR 2.15 billion generated in 2023. The revenue growth was driven primarily by higher installed capacity and increased output across the group’s onshore wind and solar portfolios in Europe and North America, partially offset by lower average realized prices in some markets as power prices normalized from the exceptional levels seen in 2022.
EDP Renovaveis reported EBITDA for 2024 of close to EUR 1.5 billion, down modestly from around EUR 1.55 billion in 2023, as the impact of lower prices and regulatory changes in some geographies offset the positive contribution from new assets and operating efficiencies. In net terms, the company posted net income attributable to shareholders of approximately EUR 400 million for 2024, compared with around EUR 420 million the year before, reflecting higher depreciation from the expanding portfolio and the financial costs of continued investment in new projects.
Dividend of EUR 0.09 per share
The board of EDP Renovaveis proposed a dividend for fiscal 2024 of EUR 0.09 per share, up from EUR 0.08 per share paid for 2023, underlining its commitment to a progressive payout policy while continuing to reinvest a substantial part of earnings into new capacity. At the share price level of about EUR 14.50 as of 30 May 2024, this dividend implies a yield of a little above 0.6%, which remains modest compared with traditional utilities but is typical for a fast growing renewables developer that prioritizes capital spending on new projects.
Cash flow from operating activities remained robust in 2024, at around EUR 1.1 billion, broadly in line with the approximately EUR 1.1 billion recorded in 2023, supported by stable output, long term contracted revenues and disciplined working capital management. The company continued to invest heavily in growth, with capital expenditures close to EUR 3.0 billion in 2024, compared with roughly EUR 2.7 billion in 2023, largely directed towards new wind and solar farms in Europe, the United States and Brazil.
Installed capacity surpasses 16 GW
EDP Renovaveis ended 2024 with installed capacity of around 16.0 gigawatts of wind and solar assets, up from approximately 14.7 gigawatts at the end of 2023, a net addition of about 1.3 gigawatts over the year. The portfolio is geographically diversified, with significant exposure to Iberia, the rest of Europe, the United States and selected Latin American markets, and the capacity increase reflects the completion and grid connection of several large scale projects in these regions.
The pipeline of secured projects also grew, with the company highlighting a pipeline of more than 20 gigawatts of projects in various stages of development as of the end of 2024, including projects backed by long term power purchase agreements with corporate and utility counterparties. This pipeline is an important driver of future revenue and earnings growth, and investors have been closely watching the pace at which EDP Renovaveis converts pipeline into operating assets.
Guidance framed by disciplined leverage
According to management commentary in the 2024 results documentation on EDP Renovaveis results documentation, the company continues to target annual additions of about 4.0 gigawatts of new renewable capacity over the medium term, although exact yearly additions depend on permitting, grid connections and supply chain conditions. EDP Renovaveis reiterated its focus on projects with long term contracts, aiming to keep a large share of its production under fixed or indexed price agreements to reduce revenue volatility.
On the financial side, net debt stood at close to EUR 7.0 billion as of 31 December 2024, compared with approximately EUR 6.4 billion a year earlier, reflecting the strong investment cycle. The company’s leverage ratio, measured as net debt to EBITDA, was around 4.7 times at the end of 2024, somewhat higher than the roughly 4.1 times reported for 2023, but still within the range management considers consistent with its investment grade credit profile and long term targets.

Onshore wind remains key product
Onshore wind generation remains the core product and business line for EDP Renovaveis, both in terms of installed capacity and revenue contribution. The company’s 2024 disclosures indicate that onshore wind accounted for the majority of installed capacity, with more than 12.0 gigawatts of onshore wind assets in operation at year end, while utility scale solar and offshore wind complement the portfolio.
In revenue terms, onshore wind produced a substantial share of the group’s electricity output, helping to stabilize earnings thanks to long term contracts and diversified geographic exposure. Utility scale solar projects, particularly in Iberia and the United States, have been growing quickly and now represent a meaningful part of new capacity additions. Offshore wind, developed in partnership with other large players, remains a smaller but strategically important segment that could contribute more materially over the coming years as projects reach commissioning.
EDP Renovaveis stock valuation and trading
EDP Renovaveis stock trades primarily on Euronext Lisbon, where the ticker is commonly quoted as LIS: EDPR, and the company is part of the PSI index of leading Portuguese listed firms, which includes the parent Energias de Portugal as well. As mentioned earlier, the share price of around EUR 14.50 as of 30 May 2024 compares with a 52 week high near EUR 15.40 and a low around EUR 11.00, placing the stock in the upper part of its recent trading range.
Based on this share price and the number of shares outstanding reported in company materials, the market capitalization of EDP Renovaveis was around EUR 14.0 billion as of late May 2024, which positions the group among the larger pure play renewables developers in Europe. For comparative context, this market value is below that of some global renewables peers but above many smaller regional developers, reflecting the company’s scale, growth pipeline and backing from a major utility parent.
