Market perspectives

Short-term pressures have slowed renewables FIDs

GW global solar and wind FIDs

  • Despite record governmental decarbonization pledges and focus on energy security, FIDs1 outside China are set to drop in 2022
  • Inflation, supply chain bottlenecks and permitting issues delay investment decisions
  • Low bidding activity in recent auctions
  • PPA levels and costs need to rebalance project returns. Both are moving in right direction
  • Highlights need for governments and industry to work closely together

UN report: Climate action must be implemented the next eight years

"We are still nowhere near the scale and pace of emission reductions required to put us on track toward a 1.5 degree Celsius world. To keep this goal alive, national governments need to strengthen their climate action plans now and implement them in the next eight years."

Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of UN Climate Change

US Inflation Reduction Act

  • Could drive >USD 4.1 trillion in cumulative capital investments in new energy supply infrastructure the next decade
  • Will kick off the CCUS industry CCUS may increase 13x by 2030 relative to current policy
  • Driving a record high growth in wind and solar capacity across the country
  • Augmented by newly-announced target for floating offshore wind of 15 GW by 2035 and signals of speeding up new deep-sea acreage
  • Jump-starting the hydrogen economy in the US

USD billion annual capital investments in clean energy supply infrastructure

Portfolio overview

Aker Carbon Capture

Transforming the carbon capture industry through standardization

  • Carbon capture company delivering ready-to-use capture plants; two projects in construction
  • Validated certified market-leading proprietary technology, >50,000 operative hours

Aker Horizons' view

  • Massive growth in carbon capture required to reach Net Zero by 2050. Carbon capture key to remove process emissions and decarbonize hard-to-abate industries such as cement and gas- and biomass-to-power
  • Economics becoming viable with increased EU ETS and the US Inflation Reduction Act support of USD 85/ton; ACC's Just Catch modular system key contributor to cost reduction
  • Innovative business models and holistic value chain approach to accelerate – Carbon Capture as a Service enables emitters to pay per tonne CO2 captured

Mainstream Renewable Power

Building a Renewable Energy Major – driving the energy transition

  • Industry-leading wind capabilities across onshore, bottom-fixed and floating offshore
  • Market leader in Chile and South Africa renewables, and Vietnam offshore wind

Aker Horizons' view

  • Renewable energy is the backbone of decarbonization
  • Strong momentum as countries increasingly announce dedicated targets and support schemes for development
  • Mainstream a proven development engine opening and shaping markets, building multi-technology GW portfolios
  • Floating offshore wind will accelerate faster than expected as LCOE comes down. Mainstream leveraging five decades of offshore experience in Aker and ownership in Principle Power
  • High interest observed for renewable energy in private markets, as demonstrated by sale of Aela and Lekela platforms

Aker Horizons Asset Development

Develop, build, own and operate decarbonization assets across hard-to-abate sectors

  • Holistic and integrated value chain approach to accelerate Net Zero
  • Large-scale projects financed with strategic and financial partners

Aker Horizons' view

  • Significant value creation potential in developing, building, owning and operating decarbonization assets
  • Building on Aker and Aker Horizons' ability to realize large, complex and capex-intensive projects
  • Hydrogen will play a significant part in the race to Net Zero and is ideal for decarbonization of many hard-to-abate sectors
  • Moving downstream in the hydrogen value chain can increase margins and converts green energy to a green product with an existing market (e.g., iron). It also allows exports of low-cost energy to demand centers

SuperNode

Developing cable technology to enable the renewable electricity age

  • Superconductor technology to conduct electricity with no resistance
  • Proprietary cryostat designs, materials and heat management techniques

Aker Horizons' view

▪ The combination of significantly increasing our renewable energy share and electrifying our economies is essential to decarbonisation – but if we continue adding renewable energy at our current pace, many of our grids will be overwhelmed by 2030

Mainstream Renewable Power

Key sector themes

Updates on Chile and cost inflation

Chile market challenges to be mitigated by our diversified portfolio

  • Grid transmission remains dislocated, with operators exposed to difference in price at injection to the grid and withdrawal
  • Two companies have notified CEN (Chile's national electricity operator) that they can no longer fulfil their PPA contracts
  • Mainstream's diversified structure portfolio and geographical and technology (wind and solar) approach, will help mitigate these impacts once fully operational

Cost inflation managed through continued financial discipline

  • Cost increases that started in 2021 and have continued to constrain supply chains and impact development
  • Investment decisions and orders have been delayed
  • Combined, delivery schedules have lengthened while quote tender periods have shortened
  • In managing this, Mainstream continues to maintain its financial discipline

Offshore wind update

1.8 GW awarded to 50:50 JV with Ocean Winds

ScotWind success

  • First combined success for the teams of Aker Offshore Wind and Mainstream
  • 1.8 GW awarded to 50:50 JV with Ocean Winds

Summary & outlook

Summary & outlook

Long-term outlook solidified, short-term rebalancing needed

Renewables investment decisions delayed due to inflation and supply chain issues LCOE has increased, but so has demand for power; PPA prices nearly doubled in Europe1 UN Climate Change Executive Secretary states we are nowhere near the scale and pace required for 1.5 degrees Celsius – we need climate action implemented the next 8 years US Inflation Reduction Act represents a game changer

Maturing core investments

Combination of AOW and MRP creates strengthened offshore wind platform Created project development muscle for GW-scale decarbonization projects Deliver on value creation plans in ACC, MRP and SuperNode Mature and grow Aker Horizons' pipeline of decarbonization projects

Emerging opportunities for incubation and M&A

Extend business to additional Net Zero levers Use M&A as tool to grow companies and projects in Aker Horizons Enabled by solid financial position with liquidity of NOK 9.7bn

Additional information

Aker Horizons' 2025 Ambitions

  1. The 25 Mt CO2e target consists of two main elements: 10 Mt CO2e of emissions reductions enabled through CCUS and ~15 Mt CO2e from avoiding emissions in electricity generation. Both targets include Aker Horizons projects in operation and in construction (as defined Aker Horizons' accounting policy) – taking into account an expected/estimated/observed capacity factor. The approach is based on the current draft of the GHG Protocol and may be updated in the future.

Note: Targets measure total capital investments, projects in operation and construction and annual emissions reduction from projects in operation and construction respectively (as defined by Aker Horizons' accounting policy), originated by Aker Horizons and platform companies, before sell-downs. For other projects, Aker Horizons' or platform companies' pro rata share of projects is applied.

Highlights

  • Mainstream's Income Statement is reflective of the principal activities of development, construction and operation of projects. This also includes losses from exposure to Chilean power purchase agreements driven by spot price increases prior to full portfolio commercial operation being achieved
  • Chilean market is currently experiencing spot price volatility diversified portfolio approach provides mitigation
  • Mainstream does not "mark to market" asset values, as a result, the P&L is not immediately reflective of value creation through the development and construction process
  • Total assets illustrates Mainstream's ongoing shift to a Renewable Energy Major with assets increasing by EUR 1.0 bn in the past 9 months (Total assets: EUR 3.7bn Q3 2022, EUR 2.7bn FY 2021)
  • The Andes portfolio in Chile is the largest component of total assets at over EUR 2.9bn, with balance largely split across property, plant and equipment, cash, and other items
  • Lekela sale is not reflected in the P&L until closing
  • Cash balance does not reflect Aela proceeds and expected Lekela proceeds. Since Q3 end, Aela proceeds of USD 113m have been received
