LISBON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Portugal's largest utility, EDP-Energias de Portugal, posted on Wednesday a 6% rise in its recurring net 2020 profit to 901 million euros ($1.09 billion), despite lower demand for electricity due the COVID-19 pandemic.

EDP said its net debt fell 11% to 12.2 billion euros as of the end of 2020 from a year ago, the lowest level in 13 years.

Earlier on Wednesday, EDP's wind energy unit EDP Renewables , reported a 17% rise in net profit to 556 million euros.

EDP said one-off items had a net negative impact of 101 million euros last year, leading to a reported net profit of 801 million euros. That was 56% higher than in 2019, when the company had even heavier one-off costs.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose 6% to 3.95 billion euros, but recurring EBITDA slipped 2%, EDP said. ($1 = 0.8241 euros) (Reproting by Sergio Goncalves, editing by Andrei Khalip)
