A UNIQUE BIOMASS PLAYER EXPANDING ITS SOLID RENEWABLES BUSINESS

May 2021
GreenVolt: a leading Biomass operator with a proven pan-European Solar PV and Wind platform focused on disciplined growth

(1) 2020 market share by biomass energy injected, source: DGEG; (2) Power generation capacity; (3) Net pipeline until 2025, including 2.8 GW in Poland and Greece (V-Ridium) + 0.2 GW in Romania + 0.7 GW in Portugal; (4) New markets and pipeline opportunities already identified; (5) Net, including 1.5 GW in Poland and Greece (V-Ridium) + 0.2 GW in Romania + 0.1 GW in Portugal; (6) With financial investors

Privileged relationship with Altri, benefiting from industrial know-how and operational expertise deployed across renewables portfolio

- 733 GWh production of forestry biomass generating a regulated ~€33m 2020 EBITDA with 15(3) years of FiT remaining
- ~3.7 GW pipeline(4) o/w ~1.8 GW at RTB or advanced phase(5)
- Competitive advantage as +20-year operator
(1) As of 07/05/2021; (2) Owned both directly through Altri and indirectly through Caima Energia; (3) 17 years including Mortágua extension; (4) Net pipeline until 2025, including 2.8 GW in Poland and Greece (V-Ridium) + 0.2 GW in Romania + 0.7 GW in Portugal; (5) Net, including 1.5 GW in Poland and Greece (V-Ridium) + 0.2 GW in Romania + 0.1 GW in Portugal

Strong tailwinds in Solar PV and On-shore Wind in Europe…
| Renewable energy |
Renewables are the driving force of energy generation in the next decades to meet EU targets for 2030 (32% renewable share) and for 2050 (carbon neutrality), with Portugal(1) to outperform (47% renewable share target for 2030) |
|
|---|---|---|
| generation expansion in |
Solar PV and Wind, which currently represent c. 45% of the renewable generation in Europe, expected to reach c. 600 GW by 2030 (5% CAGR 2020-30) |
|
| Europe | Increasing weight of decentralised generation |
|
| Solar PV and Wind capacity to significantly increase in Europe(2)(3)… is focused on growing(4) … especially in the geographies where GreenVolt |

(1) NECP target; (2) IRENA; (3) EU-28 (including UK); (4) IRENA and NECPs of Portugal, Poland, France, Greece, Italy and Romania

…complemented by a growing and much needed renewable and sustainable technology
| Biomass, a core technology in the energy transition |
Biomass is a fully manageable technology and enjoys robust prospects across Europe (1) "Using forestry biomass is one of the solutions that will contribute towards creating more value in the forestry sector" Critical to manage forestry, urban and new wastes to come, being base load/manageable vs. other generation technologies Strong expected growth in biomass facilities and production, modest compared to massive Solar PV and Wind development High barriers to entry: proximity to supply and extensive O&M and AM know-how required |
|---|---|
| -------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Biomass(2) will remain as a key energy source both in Europe(3)(4)… …and in Portugal(1)

(1) Portuguese NECP; (2) Biomass (including biofuels, biogas and urban waste); (3) IRENA; (4) EU-28 (including UK); (5) IRENA Database (2018 renewable electricity generation for EU-28 and Portugal)

| Usual biomass challenges |
innovative solutions |
||
|---|---|---|---|
| Biomass Process supply |
Presence of sand and water Reduction of generation capacity |
Biomass pricing scheme: steam generation (heat input) vs weight Maximum quality materials Enlargement of biomass materials (e.g. roots) |
|
| Boiling system |
Boiler erosion High velocity of flue gases |
Tailor-made boiler adjustments based on +20 years expertise Avoid boiler stoppage |

1 leakage per year vs. 7 leakages
