EDPR, the world's fourth-largest wind power producer, posted an unexpected net loss of 556 million euros in 2024 on heavy one-off impairments on projects in the United States and Colombia, even as revenues increased.
EDPR announced the closure of the projects in La Guajira province in December because of conflicts with nearby communities opposed to wind development which delayed licensing processes.
The auction winner will be notified between May and June and the company will have 15 days to approve the sale, the auctioneer said.
