METLEN Energy & Metals Reports Record Revenue for Nine Months of 2026

On November 5, 2026, METLEN Energy & Metals PLC released its trading update for the nine months ending September 30, 2026. With a strong performance that showcases resilience amidst market volatility, the company reported record revenues of €6.2 billion, reflecting a remarkable 21% increase from €5.1 billion during the same period last year. This achievement marks the highest revenue recorded in the company’s history for the first nine months of any year.

Overview of METLEN's Performance

Despite facing challenges such as an extended outage of its largest thermal power generator, which was out of service for 44 days, METLEN successfully returned to full operational capacity by October 12, 2026. The strategic focus on execution and commercial development during this period highlights the company’s commitment to achieving its objectives set for the year.

Moreover, the underlying strength of METLEN's diversified operations has provided a solid foundation, enabling the firm to maintain its EBITDA guidance for the fiscal year 2026 between €1.00-1.15 billion and a medium-term EBITDA target of €1.92-2.08 billion. The achievements accrued over the nine months are a testament to METLEN's versatile business model and its readiness to adapt to market fluctuations.

Strategic Development Initiatives

To further solidify its growth opportunities, METLEN is working on developing METKA as a standalone infrastructure platform under a newly formed METKA Group. This strategic move includes exploring a potential listing on the Euronext Athens exchange for enhanced growth and financial independence. The company is also focused on de-risking its MPP business, recently marking the achievement of First Fire at the PROTOS ERF in Cheshire and the Grudziądz 560 MW CCGT in Poland, ensuring steady progress across its legacy portfolio.

In line with its asset-rotation strategy, METLEN has successfully sold the 165 MW / 725 MWh Tamarico II solar-plus-storage project in Chile to Copec, further demonstrating its commitment to optimizing resource allocation.

Strengthening Commercial Footprint

In pioneering achievements, METLEN has strengthened its commercial momentum for gallium through a new long-term agreement with a significant Japanese chemicals provider. This partnership is poised to generate additional offtake agreements in the near future, contributing positively to the company's overall strategy and revenue streams.

Furthermore, METLEN continues to expand its energy storage initiatives, recently inaugurating major Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects in both Greece and Italy, further diversifying its renewable energy portfolio.

In a critical move towards ensuring a robust gas supply, METLEN has solidified a five-year agreement with PETRONAS that guarantees six LNG cargoes annually starting in 2027, thus enhancing its operational security and flexibility.
