Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our second quarter presentation. I'm truly excited to present strong financials, additional growth and also excellent progress on our projects in construction. This means we continue to make significant progress on our strategic objectives both in terms of growing our renewables portfolio and also in terms of strengthening our balance sheet. Let me start with a summary of the quarter and then I will hand over to Hans Jakob to take us through the financials.
On total -- our total proportionate revenues increased to NOK2.3 billion and our EBITDA to NOK1.1 billion. This represents an increased activity level across all our segments. Our projects under construction are progressing well with revenues close to NOK1 billion in the quarter, and we're still also recognizing gross margins at the high end of our guided range of 11.4%. I'm also very pleased with the development of the backlog that is now at all-time high of 3.2 gigawatts, and this is after adding close to 1 gigawatt of solar and BESS in South Africa
