CEO comment:
We continue to grow. Revenue in the quarter rose 29% and our installed base increased to 220 MW. We see continued strong demand for our offer, much because it is in line with the climate goals advocated by the authorities. Chinese lenders show great interest in our operations, which is confirmed by the fact that a major Chinese bank (BOCOM) approved a loan of SEK 615 million to our Chinese subsidiary in August.
