Nine-Month Trading Update for METLEN Energy & Metals PLC

In a significant announcement on November 6, 2026, METLEN Energy & Metals PLC disclosed its trading update for the nine months ending September 30, 2026. The company showcased notable progress towards its strategic priorities, demonstrating a robust commitment to growth despite facing operational challenges.

Record Revenue Growth

For the first nine months of 2026, METLEN's revenues skyrocketed to an unprecedented €6.2 billion. This marks an impressive 21% increase compared to the €5.1 billion generated during the same period in 2025. Such growth showcases the company's effective operational strategies across various business units and segments.

Despite facing a prolonged 44-day outage at its largest thermal generator due to repairs, METLEN managed to bounce back and resume normal operations by October 12, 2026. This agility illustrates the strength and resilience of METLEN's diverse operations, reinforcing confidence in their financial projections.

Reaffirming Financial Predictions

The turbulent market conditions have prompted fluctuations within the sector; however, METLEN reiterates its EBITDA forecast for 2026 to be between €1.00 billion and €1.15 billion, while setting a medium-term target of €1.92 billion to €2.08 billion. This commitment to maintaining financial stability is a testament to the resilience of METLEN's business model in current economic circumstances.

Strategic Developments

One of the key strategic advancements announced was the development of METKA, which aims to establish itself as an autonomous infrastructure platform within the new METKA group. The company is also actively exploring potential listings on Euronext Athens to bolster financial growth and independence.

In another significant move, METLEN successfully powered up the PROTOS ERF plant in Cheshire and the CCGT facility in Grudziądz, Poland, both of which contribute to risk mitigation efforts associated with its MPP operations.

Moreover, METLEN’s active asset rotation strategy includes the sale of its solar project, Tamarico II, a 165 MW/725 MWh project in Chile to Copec, demonstrating their commitment to optimizing their project portfolio.

Expanding Energy Solutions

Further cementing its standing in the energy market, METLEN has signed a long-term agreement with a prominent Japanese chemical partner to enhance galium trade and announced additional purchase agreements anticipated to follow.

The company is also making strides in expanding its energy storage portfolio, with significant BESS projects already operational in Greece and Italy.

Commitments to Gas Supply

As gas supply diversification becomes increasingly critical, METLEN has secured a five-year agreement with PETRONAS for six annual LNG shipments starting from 2027. This venture aims to enhance the stability of their gas supply chain in a volatile market.

Leadership Insight

Evangelos Mytilineos, the Executive Chairman, shared insights on the company's consistent execution of strategy: “METLEN continues to execute its strategy with consistency and determination, drawing on the strength of our diversified business model and the capabilities of our employees. Our priorities are clear: rigorous execution, operational excellence, and sustainable long-term value creation.”

Despite a challenging operational environment, METLEN remains confident in its ability to adapt to market changes and fulfill its commitments, thereby guaranteeing future growth and stability.
