HelleniQ Energy: Targeting 1.5 billion EBITDA – Key pillars of the 2030 plan

HELLENiQ Energy is targeting medium-term EBITDA of 1.5 billion euros, focusing on organic growth and new investments across its two core business pillars, petroleum products and electricity.

Chief Executive Andreas Shiamisis said the group’s strategy will prioritise greater international expansion and entry into new markets, while continuing to improve competitiveness. Increasing production in Greece, capturing opportunities across Europe, expanding the renewable energy portfolio, developing energy storage assets and strengthening the company’s presence in the electricity market are key elements of the new strategic plan.

According to Shiamisis, HELLENiQ Energy is entering a new phase after successfully completing its Vision 2025 programme, which led to a significant transformation of the group. He described 2025 as a year of strong performance, with comparable EBITDA exceeding 1 billion euros for a fourth consecutive year and comparable net profit of around 503 million euros.

Management has proposed a final dividend of 0.40 euros per share, bringing the total dividend for the year to about 0.60 euros per share, including an interim dividend of 0.20 euros per share, implying a dividend yield of around 8%.

Shiamisis highlighted the challenges posed by an increasingly volatile international environment, geopolitical crises, shifting trade flows and mounting pressure on European industry from high energy prices and regulatory costs. He said hydrocarbons will continue to play a significant role in the global energy mix for decades, underlining the need to support Europe’s refining sector and safeguard its competitiveness.

In the petroleum products segment, the group’s priorities include further upgrading its refineries, strengthening trading operations, expanding exports and increasing production capacity in Greece. Particular importance is attached to the reopening of the Thessaloniki-Skopje pipeline, which is expected to create new opportunities for supplying markets including North Macedonia, southern Serbia and western Bulgaria.

At the same time, the group is continuing hydrocarbon exploration activities through a cautious and phased approach, leveraging partnerships with international energy companies while maintaining a strong focus on risk management.

In renewables and energy storage, HELLENiQ Energy aims to increase installed capacity, develop battery storage projects and pursue opportunities outside Greece, where project development timelines are often shorter and returns more attractive.
