During the reporting period, AST's profit was mainly driven by the dividend in amount of 5.72 million EUR from the subsidiary company "Conexus Baltic Grid" (Conexus). With the approval of the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), AST utilized the accumulated congestion revenues in amount of 12.54 million EUR to cover the costs of electricity transmission system services, that also had a positive effect on AST's profitability.
