Comment from CEO Per Witalisson
“The fourth quarter and full year 2024 were Eolus’ second-best so far, with a large milestone payment from a solar and battery project in the the US more than making up for a subdued European market. With yet another large American sale secured, a strong deal pipeline and new financial goals we proceed into the business plan for 2025–2027 with confidence.”
