Repsol reported a net income of €1.792 billion in the first nine months of 2024, a decrease of 36% compared to the same period of 2023.

During the year, the company made progress in implementing the 2024-2027 strategic update, which focuses on a profitable energy transition.
Repsol has begun producing 100% renewable fuels from waste at its Cartagena plant, the first industrial-scale plant of its kind on the Iberian Peninsula, and already has more than 580 service stations in Spain and Portugal supplying this product.
The company has announced the distribution of a cash dividend of €0.475 gross per share in January 2025. In addition, Repsol has a share buyback program in place to achieve its commitment to redeem 60 million shares this year.
Repsol Installed solar and wind power generation capacity has grown strongly this year, reaching 2,464 MW at the end of the third quarter, a rise of 57% in a year. Of this increase, the start-up of the Frye solar farm (637 MW), in the United States, was particularly noteworthy, enabling renewable electricity generation to almost double in the third quarter compared to the previous year, to 1,587 GWh.
The company has a project portfolio of 60,000 MW in various stages of development, of which 2,870 MW are already under construction. During the year, the integration of ConnectGen was completed, bringing with it a 20,000 MW onshore wind project development portfolio and highly qualified personnel with extensive knowledge of the US market, where Repsol expects to have 30% of its global installed capacity by 2027.
Strategic planning calls for Repsol to invest between €3 and €4 billion net to organically develop its global portfolio of renewable projects and reach between 9,000 MW and 10,000 MW of installed capacity by 2027.
