Revenue for the quarter fell by 7.3%. The company stated that the decline was primarily because of lower energy sales in the Generation Segment. The quarter’s operating revenues were $1.177 billion, down 12.6% compared to Q2 2024.

Operational performance was also weak. Net electricity generation dropped 5% year-over-year, totaling 5.9 terawatt-hours (TWh). This decline was attributed to weaker hydropower output (hydro dispatch) and lower renewable electricity production. The company added that transmission bottlenecks and some unavailable thermal (gas or coal) units also caused efficiency losses.

Despite the challenges, the company’s procurement and services dropped 16.1% year-over-year for the first half and nearly 20% for Q2 alone. The cash flow from operations surged to $403 million in H1 2025, much higher than in 2024.
