Outokumpu granted 25 million euros relief from the German renewable energy charge for 2013

OUTOKUMPU OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE December 19, 2013 at 12.00 pm EET  

Outokumpu is subject to the renewable energy charge applied to all companies operating in Germany. As an energy intensive company facing global competition, Outokumpu is entitled to a reduction of these charges.

For the year 2013 this reduction was initially denied by the German authorities. After a constructive dialogue and a clarification of Outokumpu’s application and appeal, Outokumpu has now received a reduction to the applicable German renewable energy charge for the year 2013. At the same time, similar reduction was granted for 2014.

The renewable energy charge reduction results to a 25 million euros’ relief on energy costs for the entities in Germany for 2013. Outokumpu will book this refund in its fourth quarter accounts and it has a positive impact on the Group’s EBIT in the fourth quarter.
