Bodø, Norway, 17 January 2025
In Q3, the company reported estimated capex per kilogram of biomass of up to NOK
65, based on expected production of 16,000 tonnes. Due to a prolonged period of
bad weather, installation of surface cladding on floors has not been possible,
and completion of production pool 2 has been delayed. This has also affected the
progress of production pool 1 somewhat.
Delays will normally result in increased costs. The company is in the process of
assessing progress and costs further to the delay. An updated cost estimate for
Q4 reporting is not expected to be presented, but costs are expected to be
gradually reduced in the final phase of the development project in Rødøy. The
company's assessment of costs for the project as a whole is that they will
increase somewhat from the estimate in the Q3 reporting, but be within
established financing.
