Cost of sales | 208 | 175 |
Contracted work | 109 | 125 |
Total | 317 | 300 |
The cost of sales and contracted work increased by € 17 million compared with 2019.
The increase in the cost of sales and contracted work was mainly attributable to purchases of energy, due to the increased rates of TenneT, with an impact of approximately € 40 million. This was partly offset by favourable results in purchasing for network losses of some € 14 million and lower costs of materials of € 8 million as a result of reduced activity levels.
