The quarter, in short
January 1st – March 31st
- As in the previous quarter, the adjusted electricity tariffs in Jiangsu and Anhui have had a negative impact on revenues in the period as expected. The effect of the lower electricity tariffs amounted to approximately SEK 3.9 million compared with the same period last year. Together with weaker solar radiation, a weaker currency and a higher proportion of sales directly to the network, this has resulted in lower revenues compared to the previous year. The tariff adjustments announced have now been implemented and further changes are not expected in the near future.
