Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA | New hybrid project of 210 MW added to the backlog

Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA | New hybrid project of 210 MW added to the backlog

Oslo, Norway, 31 October 2023: Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA ("Cloudberry" or the

"Company") is pleased to announce that an Odin Energy subsidiary ("Odin") has

signed a term-sheet agreement with Skovgaard Energy A/S ("Skovgaard") to acquire

the Nees Hede project, a 210 MW (168 MW proportionate) solar and wind hybrid

project (the "Transaction"). Through the acquisition of the Odin portfolio

earlier this year, Cloudberry is perfectly positioned to take part in further

development opportunities in Denmark as shown by this project. The Nees Hede

project represents an important milestone as the first project from the

development agreement with Skovgaard.

Cloudberry will through the Odin portfolio acquire from Skovgaard Klimapark Nees

Hede K/S consisting of the development and grid rights and the land access to

the Nees Hede project ("Nees Hede"). Nees Hede is a climate park with a

favourable ESG footprint and local acceptance, situated on the western part of

Jutland in the attractive DK 1 price area.

The project consists of 140 MW of solar capacity proportionate to Cloudberry of

already environmentally permitted capacity. All projects' rights will be

transferred into Odin with a corresponding land lease agreement of 30 years with

an additional option of another 30 years. Further, Skovgaard and Cloudberry will

continue the development project with an aim to reach a permit for wind

production in combination to the permitted solar. If a final investment decision

(FID) is taken for the project, the land for the wind project will be acquired

by Nees Hede at a pre-determined price. The complete Nees Hede project is

estimated to be approximately 210 MW, with 168 MW proportionate to Cloudberry

which will be added to the backlog.

The Nees Hede climate park is to be developed as a hybrid project utilizing the

synergies between the wind and solar technologies to achieve beneficial project

economics and risk advantages. This will be the first hybrid project developed

by Cloudberry and the project will be an important contributor to the Cloudberry

portfolio, both through the project returns and the transfer of hybrid project

know-how.

"We are very pleased to see the first project materialising from the development

agreement with Skovgaard to further reinforce the Danish partnership and

increase development activities in Denmark. The project will be an important

contribution to our DK1 portfolio and will yield increased diversification to

the Cloudberry portfolio as well as executing on our overall development

strategy", says CEO Anders Lenborg.

The parties have agreed that Cloudberry will pay a fee of EUR 1.6 million to

transfer the project into Odin. The total enterprise value for the project is

EUR 8 million, where the remaining enterprise value of EUR 4.8 million and EUR

1.6 million is payable upon a potential final investment decision (FID) and

commercial operating date (COD) respectively. All numbers are proportionate to

Cloudberry.

The closing of the Transaction is estimated in Q4 2023 and is subject to

agreement of final transaction documents, satisfactory due diligence and board

approvals.
