Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 55 IntroductionIntroduction | Letter from the CEOIntroduction | Letter from the CEO Scaling for the future Cloudberry’s growth strategy is based on a scalable and diversified platform where we develop, own, and operate renewable energy assets in the Nordics. This platform provides financial and operational synergies across our portfolio. One of the most significant milestones in 2024 was the signed transaction with our Danish partner Skovgaard Energy, adding 160 GWh of annual production in addition to an experienced local asset management and development team, further reinforcing our presence in the Danish market. This transaction strengthens our platform, expands our operational footprint, and enhances our asset management capabil- ities while positioning us as a leading actor in the rapidly evolving Danish renewable energy sector. At the same time, we have optimized our production portfolio through disciplined asset transactions. The hydro asset swap completed in 2024, allowed us to increase our hydro exposure to the more favorable southern price zones while maintaining finan- cial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities. It is clear to us that focusing on high-quality renewable energy assets and projects in attractive price areas will ensure strong returns and long-term competitiveness. Delivering on project execution Safety, operational excellence and disci- plined execution are at the core of our business. In 2024, Cloudberry successfully completed the construction of two major wind farms on time and within budget without any safety incidents: Munkhyttan and Sundby, adding 149 GWh of new annual renewable energy production in SE-3. Øvre Kvemma hydropower plant (NO-5) was also completed on time and budget over the summer and transferred to Cloudberry, adding 20 GWh of hydro production. Driving energy transition through development Cloudberry continues to invest in the future of renewable energy, ensuring that we are well positioned to meet the growing energy demand across the Nordics. Our develop- ment backlog grew to 1 239 MW throughout 2024, supported by a long-term collaboration with Holmen Renewable Energy securing 300 MW of new wind projects in SE-3, Sweden. Further, the expansion of Nees Hede Solar (DK-1) from 175 MW to 232 MW, reinforced Cloudberry’s commitment to large-scale solar energy while we are also exploring hybrid possibilities to enhance profitability in the project. Repurposing Stenkalles Wind Project into Dingelsundet Battery Storage together with Hafslund positions Cloudberry within the fast-growing energy storage market and showcases our development flexibility and creativity. We are committed to develop the next generation of renewable assets, leveraging market opportunities, technological advances, and other market conditions to strengthen our long-term competitive position. Financial strength and resilience in a competitive market To successfully scale and execute our strategy, financial robustness is key. Cloudberry has maintained a strong capital structure, ensuring we remain well-posi- tioned for future growth. At year end we have a NOK 2.2 billion credit facility in place with approximately NOK 1.6 billion drawn ensuring financial flexibility for new oppor- tunities in addition to a cash position of close to NOK 900 million and a high equity ratio. Further, over 80% of proportionate debt is fixed at long-term, favorable interest rates safeguarding against financing cost volatility. Through the agreed transac- tion with Skovgaard, we will increase our equity in Cloudberry with approximately NOK 500m through a share issuance towards Skovgaard once the transaction closes, expected in the first quarter of 2025. This is executed at NOK 17 per share, which represents a ~50% premium to the share price when it was announced, showcasing the underlying value of our platform. By maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation, optimizing our cost of capital, and securing financial predictability, we “2024 has been a year of strategic progress. We are well equipped to meet the growing demand for clean energy across the Nordics.” Anders Lenborg, CEO Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 66 IntroductionIntroduction | Letter from the CEOIntroduction | Letter from the CEO ensure that Cloudberry remains resilient and prepared for sustained profitable growth.

In 2024, we strengthened our development capabilities through a strategic transaction in Denmark with Skovgaard Energy, further detailed in the Commercial segment. This collaboration enhances our local presence and provides a strong platform for future growth, leveraging a portfolio of development projects and an experienced asset manage- ment team. This strategic move aligns with Cloudberry’s vision to expand our renewable energy footprint in the Nordics. Additionally, the integration of Captiva has further enhanced our development expertise and access to greenfield projects within a broader industrial framework. As of today, Cloudberry’s onshore pipeline exceeds 2 500 MW across the Nordics, with an exclusive backlog of 1 239 MW. Cloudberry focuses on projects that deliver both strong economic returns and minimal environmental impact. We believe these projects will generate long-term value, particu- larly as regulatory constraints, heightened nature concerns, and local stakeholder interests limit new renewable energy opportunities in the Nordics. This underscores the importance of local stakeholder management, while demand for green power continues to rise. To secure access to prime development sites, Cloudberry partners with major landowners and established industrial companies as energy off-takers. A key example is our recent strategic collaboration with Holmen, one of Sweden’s largest landowners, which contributes valuable projects to our growing backlog. Through such partnerships, we create mutu- ally beneficial projects that support both energy transition goals and industrial growth. Cloudberry has structured its development activities around three key regions, each with distinct strategic focus: Norway Primarily hydro development, including industrial wind projects Sweden Primarily wind development, including storage/ battery Denmark Wind and solar development and exploring storage projects Cloudberry’s exclusive backlog includes 33 projects totaling 1 239 MW across the Nordics: • 10 Hydro projects • 22 Onshore wind projects • 1 Storage project Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 1313 IntroductionIntroduction | Projects and portfolioIntroduction | Projects and portfolio Strategy, performance and risks Business model and strategy 15 Performance 17 Outlook 26 Risk Management 27 Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 1414 Strategy, performance and risksStrategy, performance and risks Strategy, performance and risks Cloudberry’s business model and strategy Cloudberry is a Nordic renewable energy company with an integrated business model designed to develop, own, and operate renewable energy assets.

Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 1919 Strategy, performance and risksStrategy, performance and risks | PerformanceStrategy, performance and risks | Performance Operating segments Cloudberry reports its operations in four segments: Projects, Commercial, Asset Management and Corporate. The segment reporting is based on proportionate financials. See APM chapter for definitions. Projects In 2024, Cloudberry made significant progress in its Projects segment, strengthening its development portfolio and advancing several key projects across the Nordics. The company focused on expanding its portfolio through strategic initiatives, optimizing project execution, and ensuring disciplined financial management in line with its long-term growth strategy. Key figures proportionate 2024 2023 Total revenue NOK million 141 15 EBITDA NOK million 100 (16) Construction permits 1 MW 312 60 Backlog MW 1 239 625 1 Includes the newly signed 05.12.2024 Skovgaard transaction expected to close in Q1 2025. Financial development over the year • Proportionate revenue: Increased significantly from NOK 15 million in 2023 to NOK 141 million in 2024. This growth was primarily driven by internal asset sale from Projects to Commercial of Munkhyttan and Sundby as described below showcasing the value created in the development phase. The remaining revenue is related to power sales from the same assets when they were under the Projects segment • Proportionate EBITDA: Improved from NOK -16 million in 2023 to NOK 100 million in 2024 mainly due to the same effects as explained above Key events over the year • Munkhyttan Wind Farm (SE-3): The final investment decision (FID) for Munkhyttan I (18.6 MW) was made in June 2023, and towards the end of 2024, the project was completed ahead of schedule and within budget with no safety incidents. Three Vestas V162 turbines, each with a capacity of 6.2 MW, were installed under a long-term service contract with a 97% uptime guarantee. First power was achieved in Q3 and commercial operations started in Q4 • Sundby Vindpark (SE-3): The construction of Sundby Vindpark (32 MW) was successfully completed on time and below budget. The wind farm, consisting of nine Vestas turbines, began test production in Q1, with all units fully oper- ational later the same year. Grid capacity limitations initially restricted delivery to 23.5 MW, but full output will be realized following grid upgrades expected in late 2025. However, the economic impact of the curtailment is expected to be less than the proportionate lower grid capacity • Øvre Kvemma hydropower plant (NO-5): The Øvre Kvemma hydro project was finalized, achieving full production following commissioning in Q2. The plant was transferred to Cloudberry’s portfolio during the summer securing additional hydro capacity in Norway Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 2020 Strategy, performance and risksStrategy, performance and risks | PerformanceStrategy, performance and risks | Performance • Internal sale showcasing value creation: As both Munkhyttan and Sundby projects have reached completion, they were transferred in the fourth quarter of 2024 from the Projects segment to the Commercial segment, with enterprise values of EUR 39m and EUR 55m, respectively. These valuations, conducted by a reputable audit firm, reflect approximately EUR 650/MWh for Munkhyttan and EUR 620/MWh for Sundby. The production figures are included in the overall production metrics, while the production financials have been included in the Projects segment as the internal sales were at year end. During the year a gain on sale of NOK 113m was recorded for the Projects segment in the proportionate financials, representing the value created for these projects. This transaction underscores significant value creation, demonstrating a gain of over NOK 2m per MW and highlights the Projects segment’s role in driving value creation for Cloudberry. • Strategic land agreements with Holmen (SE-3): Cloudberry strengthened its collaboration with Sweden’s largest private landowner, Holmen, securing access to new development sites. This agreement added 300 MW of new wind projects to the backlog in SE-3, reinforcing Cloudberry’s growth ambitions in Sweden and the ability to collaborate with large professional land owners. • Expansion of Nees Hede solar project (DK-1): Cloudberry enhanced its solar development efforts by advancing the 175 MW Nees Hede project and increasing the project size to 232 MW. The solar project is still fully permitted and hybrid possibilities including battery integration are being explored. Efforts are underway to expand the grid connection to further optimize the project economics. Given the increased size and ownership (through the signed agreement with Skovgaard, further elaborated in the Commercial segment), Cloudberry is considering bringing in a partner to mitigate financial exposure and project risks. The project awaits the final grid sizing from Energinet prior to the final investment decision which is still expected in 2025. • Duvhällen wind project (SE-3): A key milestone in Cloudberry’s pipeline, the Duvhällen wind project secured a four-year permit extension, enabling continued development and optimization. Cloudberry is considering selling part of the project (farm down) to align the project portfolio to avail- able capital. • Stenkalles wind project converted to the battery storage project Dingelsundet (SE-3): Originally planned as an offshore wind project, Stenkalles was transitioned into a battery storage development due to changing market conditions and increasing offshore wind capex. The project has secured permits to commence construction of a 20 MW /40 MWh battery installation (Phase I, numbers on a 100% basis). With an existing grid connection and a 100 MW transformation station in place, the projected economics are highly competitive, benefiting from the strategic loca- tion and the declining costs of industrial-scale batteries. Cloudberry, in partnership with Hafslund (50/50 owners), is currently in the procurement phase, with a final invest- ment decision anticipated in 2025. The expected revenue stream from the industrial battery project in Karlstad will be uncorrelated with Cloudberry’s existing production, thereby enhancing the robustness and diversification of Cloudberry’s Nordic portfolio. • Cloudberry’s backlog has increased to 1 239 MW across 33 exclusive projects, up from 625 MW in 2023. This achieve- ment underscores the strength of our extensive local network and our growing market presence in our regions. We are actively advancing permit preparations and iden- tifying local synergies to deliver value for stakeholders. By collaborating closely with communities, we ensure our projects align with local values, minimize environmental impact, and maximize returns.

Financial development over the year • Proportionate Revenue: Decreased from NOK 655 million in 2023 to NOK 569 million in 2024. This reduction was primarily due to a lower nominal gain from an asset sale in 2024 compared to an asset sale in 2023, although the 2024 sale was more value accretive as it was conducted at a higher multiple in relation to the booked equity than the sale in 2023. The remaining difference is due to lower achieved power prices compared to last year. • Proportionate EBITDA: Declined from NOK 487 million in 2023 to NOK 396 million in 2024, mainly due to a lower contribution from asset sales in 2024 compared to the nominal realised gain in 2023. Key events over the year • Cloudberry’s proportionate power production grew ~30% to 674GWh from 520GWh in 2023.The current portfolio, including the Skovgaard transaction described above, has an estimated annualized production of 1 069 GWh. • Cloudberry realized a net power price of NOK 0.60 per kWh during 2024, compared to the system price of NOK 0.42 and realised NOK 0.75 per kWh in 2023 • In the fourth quarter of 2024, Cloudberry enhanced its strategic presence in Denmark through a pivotal acquisition from Skovgaard. This transaction adds 160 GWh of annual production capacity net to Cloudberry, including full owner- ship of the Odin portfolio and 80% ownership in the Svåheia wind farm in NO-2. Additionally, the deal includes develop- ment projects and a skilled local development and asset management team, strengthening our operational capabil- ities in the region. Cloudberry will finance the transaction by utilizing approximately DKK 82m of the existing cash balance and DKK 253m of the existing debt facility. The remaining part of the purchase price, estimated to DKK 319m, will be settled through the issue of approximately 29.5 million shares in Cloudberry. The consideration shares will be issued to Skovgaard at an agreed subscription price of NOK 17.0 per share. The transaction and subscription price have been determined based on fundamental third-party assessments prepared by reputable audit firms. NOK 17.0 per share repre- sents a ~52% premium to the share price when announced. Further information about the transaction scope can be found in the press release. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025. Please see note 5 for further information. • Odal Wind Farm (163 MW, 54 MW net to Cloudberry) faced significant operational challenges throughout 2024 due to technical issues with the Siemens Gamesa 4.X series turbines which has greatly impacted production over the course of the year.

Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 2626 Strategy, performance and risksStrategy, performance and risks | OutlookStrategy, performance and risks | Outlook Risk management The Group is exposed to various risks through its value chain, including strategic, operational, climate, financial and market/ external risks. Cloudberry has extensive routines and policies in place to actively manage risks. Cloudberry has implemented a standardized process for risk assessment and risk mitigation in the Group with a risk management policy. The process includes conducting risk work shops in all segments, training the management team and key personnel in risk management, and aligning and calibrating risks across the Group. The key Company risks are discussed, and policies are reviewed and approved by the Audit committee and Board of Directors on a regular basis. Operational risk All processes throughout the value chain are exposed to oper- ational risk. A key operational risk is related to the operating performance of the producing assets, another risk relates to the process of transitioning development projects from the backlog and pipeline stage to finalization. Even though the Group has a solid project pipeline, finalizing the projects depends on a number of factors such as project availability, local authority approvals, environmental impact, suppliers, financing, power prices and the regulatory framework in the relevant market. Operational risks also include health and safety hazards especially in our construction processes, and risks related to climate, nature and environment. Cloudberry manages the risk through close follow-up and monitoring of operating assets and developing projects. Procedures and guidelines for the segments are implemented and reviewed regularly and include the whole value chain we are part of. Market, external and political risk Cloudberry operates in a highly regulated and politically sensitive industry, where changes in legislation, taxation, and energy policies can materially impact project viability, profitability, and long-term strategy. The company’s activities are subject to government approvals, permits, and regulatory frameworks in each of its operating markets, and evolving regulations may pose both challenges and opportunities. Regulatory risk continues to be a key factor influencing the Nordic and European energy markets. Changes in tax policies, transmission pricing mechanisms, subsidy frameworks, and energy trading regulations are actively being evaluated across Europe. Emerging policies may affect Cloudberry’s revenue streams and operating costs, requiring the company to contin- uously adapt its commercial strategy. Geopolitical uncertainty has further intensified in recent years, adding complexity to energy markets. The ongoing war in Ukraine and broader geopolitical instability continue to influence energy security policies, supply chains, inflation rates, and interest rate environments. While power prices have stabilized after the extreme volatility observed in 2022, the long-term effects of European energy transition policies, shifting geopolitical alliances, and macroeconomic pressures remain uncertain. These factors affect electricity demand and supply, investment decisions, financing terms, and commodity markets, all of which contribute to the risk landscape for Cloudberry. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 2727 Strategy, performance and risksStrategy, performance and risks | Risk Management Strategy, performance and risks | Risk Management Additionally, political shifts and environmental policies within the Nordic region can impact Cloudberry’s operations. Positive or negative adjustments to renewable energy taxation, concession approvals, and local permitting processes may result in changes in administrative hurdles or investment barriers. Policy inconsistency or shifts in government priorities could impact the development of certain projects, potentially impacting the expected returns or necessitating strategic recalibration. To mitigate these risks, Cloudberry maintains a geographically and technologically diversified portfolio, applies a disciplined capital allocation strategy, engages in active dialogue with policymakers and regulators, and integrates comprehen- sive risk monitoring into investment planning. The company remains agile in adjusting operational and financial strategies to respond to evolving market conditions, ensuring long-term resilience and profitability in a dynamic energy landscape. Financial risk Cloudberry is exposed to various financial risks, including power price volatility, interest rate risk, currency fluctuations, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The company’s financial risk management strategy aims to minimize cash flow volatility and, to a lesser extent, mitigate negative accounting effects. Interest rate and currency risks are managed through defined mandates and hedging instruments, ensuring predictability in financial performance. Cloudberry has gradually implemented Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to stabilize revenue streams and reduce exposure to power price fluctuations. The company’s long- term objective is to establish sufficient hedging to cover interest expenses and overhead costs, with this being phased in over time and aligned to portfolio composition and profita- bility considerations. Interest rate risk primarily relates to Cloudberry’s debt port- folio, which is managed to balance long-term cost efficiency with cash flow stability. The company’s projects are typically financed through a mix of equity and debt, making Cloudberry sensitive to increases in interest rates, which directly impact financing costs and profitability. Cloudberry remains dependent on external financing, and the ability to secure necessary funding on competitive terms and within required timelines is critical. Any constraints in accessing capital could lead to delayed project execution, reduced asset lifespans, or the need to divest certain interests. Currency risk arises due to Cloudberry’s exposure to multiple currencies, as power trading in the Nord Pool market is denominated in EUR, while the company reports its finan- cial statements in NOK. Additionally, Cloudberry operates in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway and holds investments in associated companies, resulting in exposure to DKK, SEK, and EUR. Fluctuations in exchange rates between these curren- cies could impact cash flows, financial performance, and asset valuations. Hedging strategies are actively employed to manage currency risks, ensuring greater financial predictability. By maintaining a disciplined financial strategy, proactively managing market risks, and implementing effective hedging mechanisms, Cloudberry seeks to enhance financial stability and ensure sustainable long-term growth. Climate risk Cloudberry faces exposure to climate change effects, including more extreme weather conditions, largely attributed to rising temperatures, extreme winds, and heavy rainfall, as well as shifting weather patterns in specific local regions. Extreme climate changes pose climate risks that could poten- tially damage production assets, interrupt the development of energy projects, escalate maintenance and other expenses, diminish production deliveries due to alterations in water flows or lack of wind, and cause other disruptions to essential oper- ations. Cloudberry has assessed its potential climate-related risks and opportunities following the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD). The company regularly reviews and evaluates its strategy for climate-related risks to identify additional risks and opportuni- ties, ensuring that it makes informed decisions and evaluations regarding the impact of climate risks on Cloudberry. Climate- related risks are incorporated into Cloudberry’s overall risk management framework. Further details on the climate risks can be found in the Sustainability section.

Climate change disrupts lives through extreme weather, rising sea levels, food insecurity, air pollution, disease, poverty and forced displacement, disproportionately affecting those with the least resources. Rising energy demands, and geopolitical uncertainties require bold action and strong collaboration. We view these challenges as opportunities to drive lasting progress through responsible ownership, sustainable develop- ment, and strategic partnerships. By working closely with local communities, policymakers, and investors, we turn ambition into action, accelerating the energy transition. Cloudberry is perfectly positioned to lead the way, combining a long-term commitment to sustainable growth with tangible action that drives value. In addition to delivering clean energy, our projects drive job creation, responsible land use, grid resilience, and community development. Building trust and fostering strong relationships with local communities is funda- mental to how we operate. True sustainability extends beyond environmental compliance, it also requires social commitment, community collaboration and transparency. That is why we actively engage with local stakeholders, collaborate with schools, businesses and politicians, and host open-house events to ensure positive impact. In an era of misinformation, access to reliable data and knowl- edge is vital for democracy and informed decision-making. Engaging communities, policymakers and public figures with credible information is more important than ever to safeguard climate action and energy security. This is the Cloudberry way: balancing environmental and social responsibility with value creation and sound economic returns for our investors. Our ESG commitment is not merely about compliance, it is about setting a higher standard. While reporting frameworks evolve, our principle remains unchanged: sustainability is not a passing trend – it is essential for long-term value creation for both society and stakeholders. We position ourselves as the junction box connecting capital, local communities, and viable projects – ensuring that the energy transition succeeds for all. Together, we provide renewable energy today and for future generations. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 3030 Sustainability Sustainability About the sustainability statement Cloudberry is a lean organization, and we integrate sustainability into the daily operations of every employee. Their efforts are coordinated by our CSO and sustainability advisor, ensuring that sustainability is embedded in every aspect of our business model. Our approach prioritizes sustainable value creation, with reporting as a key tool for transparency and stakeholder communication. While action drives impact, reporting reinforces accountability and supports our sustainable strategy. The sustainability statement is included as part of the Board of Directors’ report, and is thus formally approved by The Board. The sustainability statement is structured into four chapters, with the first chapter, General Information, outlining our assumptions, reporting methodology, and approach to identifying material sustainability topics. The following three chapters describes our actual sustainability initiatives for each material topics identified through our double materi- ality assessment. Each chapter (i) details our impacts, risks and opportunities regarding the material topics, (ii) provides a description of our policies, actions and targets, and (iii) describes how we manage our material topics. While Cloudberry meets the revenue and asset thresholds for ESRS applicability, our workforce size places us within the second wave of companies subject to mandatory reporting. However, this might change with EUs omnibus regulation, which proposes simplifications to the sustainability reporting requirements for companies. As of March 2025, the final wording has not been determined, and the regulation is not yet in effect. However, the proposed changes would exempt Cloudberry from mandatory sustainability reporting under both ESRS and the EU Taxonomy. While Cloudberry values the transparency and comparability these regulations have promoted, simplification allows us to reallocate more resources from reporting to implementing value-adding sustainability initiatives. For this reason, our sustainability statement is inspired by, but not fully aligned with, the ESRS disclosure requirements. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 3131 Sustainability Sustainability Key performance summary In the following chapters, we detail our impacts, risks, opportunities, policies, actions, and targets across all material topics. Our goal is to offer a comprehensive view of the non-financial factors that influence our long-term financial performance, while also providing a holistic perspective on our sustainability practices. This integrated approach helps stakeholders understand how these elements interconnect and contribute to our overall strategy. The following table offers a snapshot of our primary sustainability-related key performance indicators, underscoring our commitment to transpar- ency and continuous improvement. Overall, we have met or exceeded our targets. We are particularly proud of our progress on the engagement index, which shows that our employees find fulfillment and motivation in their work. However, we acknowledge that we are falling short of our targets for female employee representation, greenhouse gas emissions, and avoided emissions. Our inability to meet the GHG emissions target is due to an improved calculation methodology, and the blade break incident at Odal prevented us from achieving our avoided emissions target. Attracting more female talent to the renewable energy sector is a priority for 2025 and beyond.

Organizational boundary for the sustainability statement The sustainability statement is prepared on a consolidated basis, meaning that the disclosures cover the same entities as our financial statements. This includes the parent company, Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA, and all the subsidiaries it controls. Joint operations and associated companies are not included in the organizational boundary. As of December 31, 2024, Cloudberry does not have operational control over any entity not consolidated in our financial statements. For a detailed overview of all Cloudberry’s subisidaries and equity accounted companies, see note 24 of the financial statements. The double materiality assessment considered actual and potential, positive and negative, impacts, risks, and oppor- tunities (IROs) in our operations, as well as in our upstream and downstream value chain. Where our policies, actions, and targets (PATs) relate to our value chain, this is explicitly stated. Our greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting complies with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. GHG accounting organizational boundary The organizational boundary for the GHG accounting is the same as for the sustainability statement as a whole, except that ESRS mandates separate line reporting for scope 1 and scope 2 emissions from non-consolidated entities where Cloudberry has operational control. Cloudberry does not have operational control over any non-consolidated enti- ties. Therefore, the GHG accounting does not include the third-party power plants that Captiva has under technical commercial asset management, and emissions from joint operations and associated companies is only included in scope 3, category 15 (“Investments”) in the GHG accounting. Definitions The sustainability statement is underpinned by our double materiality assessment. This assessment, detailed further below, begins with the identification of IROs. Note that these definitions are taken directly from the ESRS standard and may not be immediately intuitive but should be interpreted in the context of the standard. • Impacts: These are the effects that Cloudberry has on the environment and people. They can be: – Positive or Negative: Impacts may benefit or harm. – Actual or Potential: We assess both confirmed (actual) and theoretical (potential) impacts, assigning higher scores to those that have already occurred. – Direct or Indirect: Impacts can arise from our own oper- ations or indirectly through our business relationships, including effects across our entire value chain. • Risks and Opportunities: These refer to the financial impli- cations that environmental and social factors may have on Cloudberry’s financial status. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 3434 Sustainability | General informationSustainability | General information Omissions We believe that openness and cooperation lead to prosperity for all. Hence, to our knowledge, we have not omitted any information that is material to our stakeholders related to intel- lectual property, know-how, or other innovation-related results. Time horizons Some of our IROs have already manifested, while others may arise in the future. We have considered IROs for short-, medium-, and long-term time horizons. The default time hori- zons we have used are as follows: • Short term: 0-1 years • Medium term: 1-5 years • Long term: More than 5 years Corrections and changes We strive for consistency in our methodology and policies. However, sustainability reporting is continuously evolving, and our sustainability statement reflect this dynamic nature. Since our previous report, we have further developed our sustaina- bility initiatives and reporting. This progress will continue as we gain new insights and adopt best practices. To ensure comparability with previous reporting periods, we have established a restatement policy that outlines when we must recalculate or restate previously reported sustaina- bility information. When we make significant changes to our reporting assumptions or methodology, we will clearly disclose this, explain the underlying reasons, and describe their effects. While we aim for accuracy, errors may still occur. Cloudberry is committed to transparency, including acknowledging and correcting mistakes. If material errors are identified in prior years, we will correct them in the current sustainability state- ment and clearly communicate their impact. Since the last report, several adjustments have been imple- mented. Most notably, our reevaluation of IROs has refined our DMA, narrowing our focus to fewer, more precise material topics for Cloudberry. Additionally, we have excluded Scope 3 categories 4 and 12 from our GHG accounting. These changes are detailed in the chapters “General Information” and “Climate Change”. Cloudberry uses the sustainability system provider CEMAsys to automatically convert our measured and estimated consumption data into CO 2 equivalents. The system includes an extensive database covering the major emission factors throughout the world. During 2024, we have updated our choice of emission factors to better reflect actual conditions. External assurance We decided not to obtain external limited assurance for our 2024 sustainability report, as we report voluntarily in accordance with ESRS in 2024. Hence, there are no specific criteria against which auditors could assess our sustainability statement. Our methodology aligns with best practices, having undergone assurance in 2023. Subsequently, we have maintained an open dialogue with our auditor regarding the improvements made to our GHG reporting this year. Management of IROs Each chapter on material sustainability topics begins with a table outlining the material IROs associated with that topic. The table provides a description of each IRO, along with its classification, time horizon, and a brief overview of how it is managed. This management description is not exhaustive, as further details are provided within the chapters themselves. Please note that, while IROs assessed as non-material are not disclosed here, they are still considered in Cloudberry’s internal risk assessments and processes whenever relevant. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 3535 Sustainability | General informationSustainability | General information Double materiality assessment Over the past few years, Cloudberry has systematically structured and refined our sustainability initiatives. In 2022, we revised our materiality assessment, defined sustainability ambitions, targets, and KPIs, and restructured the reporting. In 2023, we continued preparing for ESRS reporting, focusing on accurate greenhouse gas accounting, further developing guiding documents, and updating the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) to better align with EFRAG’s guidance. This chapter details how we further refined our DMA for 2024. Impacts, risks and opportunities As part of the DMA, we compiled a comprehensive list of potentially material IROs directly or indirectly related to our business model. This list was based on ESRS 1 AR16 sub-topics and sub-sub-topics, supplemented by additional internally identified IROs. Through stakeholder dialogues and internal rating workshops with subject matter experts, we refined this long list into a final set of material IROs, which was then presented to management. EFRAG defines the DMA as an iterative process. Therefore, we revisited our DMA for the 2024 reporting cycle, incorporating insights from the 2022 and 2023 assessments. This resulted in the following refinements to the previously reported IROs in the FY 2023 Sustainability Report: • Clarifying IROs: Some IROs were identified as vague, inconsistent, or misaligned with ESRS 2 SBM-3 disclosure requirements. We refined their wording for better compli- ance while prioritizing relevance and clarity, ensuring that non-essential data points do not obscure the report. • Removing redundancies: Previously disclosed IROs that were duplicates under different wording have been consolidated. • Including additional IROs: Some topics previously deemed immaterial or not identified in 2023 have been included in the 2024 report. As a result, the total number of IROs has decreased. The 2024 double materiality assessment identified 22 IROs, of which 6 are actual positive impacts, 4 are actual negative impacts, 3 risks, 5 opportunities and 4 potential negative impacts. These IROs are disclosed in each of the following chapters. Planet and society Financial materiality (outside-in perspective) Impact materiality (inside-out perspective) Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 3636 Sustainability | General informationSustainability | General information Material topics • Pollution is no longer considered a material topic. While we recognize the importance of pollution prevention, our updated assessment concluded that Cloudberry has historically had no significant impact in this area, nor is it likely to change in the future. Given the DMA’s role in prioritizing critical sustaina- bility topics, we focus on those with the greatest impact. • Resource use and circular economy has also been deemed immaterial. Even though materials and components used in our power plants may have negative upstream impacts (e.g. on human rights, labor conditions, and ecosystems), these risks are better addressed under their respective material topics. Additionally, IROs specifically related to resource depletion and waste do not meet materiality thresholds. We regularly monitor these IROs, and we will reassess the conclusions if necessary. • Entity-specific topics: In previous reports, we identified “Local society” and “Favorable framework for renewables” as entity-specific topics. However, these align closely with EFRAG’s pre-existing topics and have now been inte- grated into “Affected communities” and “Climate change/Business conduct,” respectively. • Continued immateriality of specific topics – Consumers and end-users remain immaterial because Cloudberry does not sell physical products directly to consumers. – Water and marine resources remain immaterial because Cloudberry’s small-scale hydropower plants do not create large artificial reservoirs. Additionally, these plants are typically located in steep river sections, mini- mizing impacts on migrating fish and river flow. The effects our hydropower plants have on aquatic life is considered in relation to the material topic biodiversity.

The following model illustrates our material topics. While overlap exists among the topics identified in our double materiality assessment, each topic aligns with one of the following categories: Environment, Social, or Governance. Cloudberry is dedicated to consistently managing both the positive and negative impacts as well as the financial risks and opportunities associated with each material topic. The illustra- tion below offers an overview of our approach. The following chapters detail our policies, actions, and targets for each area. In addition, the table identifies which of the Sustainable Development Goals we consider to be most important for each dimension of our business model.

EnvironmentSustainability | Environment Climate change Description of the IROs Type of IRO Value chain Management of the IRO Timeframe Accelerating the energy transition: Cloudberry’s role in fossil fuel displacement Cloudberry continues to expand its renewable energy portfolio, replacing fossil fuels and reducing emissions while fostering energy independence. Supplying more clean energy has a significant positive impact on climate change mitigation. Actual Positive impact Our core business model is centered on providing renewable energy for future generations. We are constantly searching for new projects that allow us to produce more clean energy in the Nordics. Scope 3 GHG emissions from upstream & operational activities While Cloudberry’s operations result in a net positive climate impact, emissions from logistics, raw material extraction, component sourcing, and construction contribute to our total Scope 3 footprint. Actual Negative impact We are committed to reducing our combined Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 90% within 2040. We plan on achieving this through partnership and cooperation with our suppliers, and by incorporating emissions requirements in our contracts. Transition opportunity related to governments prioritizing renewable energy development Governments prioritizing renewable energy deployment may create growth opportunities and more predictable investment conditions. Opportunity Cloudberry actively monitors energy policies in our markets and engages with key stakeholders, including policymakers to promote responsible renewable energy expansion. Additionally, we demonstrate the benefits of power production by ensuring economic value creation for local communities. Cloudberry continuously assesses political and regulatory landscapes to anticipate potential delays or changes in financial or regulatory frameworks for renewable energy projects. Transition risk that governments will not prioritize renewable energy development and production Limited government support for renewable energy could result in fewer growth opportunities and less predictable investment conditions. Risk Revenue instability due to climate-driven energy production volatility Cloudberry’s assets are sensitive to changing weather patterns, including variations in precipitation, wind, temperature, and extreme weather events. This can impact operational efficiency, infrastructure resilience, and revenue stability. Risk We integrate advanced climate scenario analyses into our assessments of construction projects and acquisitions. Additionally, we leverage digital monitoring tools to track production in real-time and implement proactive measures to optimize output and reduce volatility impacts. Value chain Upstream Own operations Downstream Timeframe Short-term Medium-term Long-term Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 4040 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment Policies Rather than a standalone climate policy, Cloudberry integrates climate considerations into our Code of Conduct, Supplier Code of Conduct, procurement practices, and contractual requirements for suppliers and subcontractors. We regularly evaluate the need for a separate policy but have determined that our current framework effectively mitigates significant negative impacts. Climate-related requirements are assessed on a project- by-project basis, considering factors such as geography, accessibility, and technological feasibility. Mandating electric machinery, low-emission fuels, or low-carbon materials in all cases is not practical, as a mountaintop wind farm may face challenges that an accessible field project does not. Knowing this, we tailor the climate initiatives for each project to the project site’s unique characteristics. In addition, each initiative must balance environmental impact with economic viability to ensure resources are allocated where they deliver the greatest benefit. Some measures are cost-effective, while others are prohibitively expensive. A high-cost initiative, even if beneficial in isolation, could ultimately reduce our overall climate impact if it limits our ability to develop additional turbines or expand capacity. Cloudberry’s mission is to provide renewable energy today and for future generations. We continuously evaluate the trade-offs between implementing additional climate measures and maximizing renewable energy production. Ultimately, our most significant contribution to combating climate change is what we do best - producing clean, renewable energy at scale. Actions Every additional kilowatt-hour of clean energy production directly contributes to climate change mitigation. In 2024, we focused on two key areas: 1. Expanding renewable energy capacity Developing new renewable energy projects is central to our strategy. Our development team actively collaborates with local communities to identify suitable sites and address concerns early in the process. By tailoring each project to its specific location, we enhance the likelihood of successful implementation, ultimately increasing clean energy production. In 2024, we completed the construction of Sundby and Munkhyttan Wind Farms and acquired the Øvre Kvemma hydropower plant, adding nearly 60 MW of new, installed capacity. 2. Promoting favorable frameworks for renewables We closely monitor local and national energy policies in the Nordic countries, staying informed through media, industry networks, and direct engagement with policymakers. Our efforts include: • Ongoing dialogue with politicians, municipal councils, and energy directorates in Norway, Sweden and Denmark • Active participation in industry organizations and renewable energy conferences • Media engagement to inform and shape the public discourse on renewable energy policies Through these initiatives, Cloudberry continues to accelerate the renewable energy transition and make a tangible contribu- tion to global climate goals. The role of renewable energy in climate mitigation Climate change mitigation is central to Cloudberry’s business model. Each kilowatt hour of green energy we produce adds to the overall supply of clean energy. Since renewable energy sources like wind power have low marginal costs, they are often prioritized in the electricity market, which helps displace more expensive and carbon-intensive power generation, such as coal and gas. This reduces the need for these conventional power plants to operate at full capacity, helping lower their overall production. The Nordic region is via interconnectors a part of the European energy system, allowing us to export clean energy to European markets. Depending on market conditions, our renewable power could help reduce reliance on fossil fuels in neigh- boring countries, where coal and gas are still common energy sources. The mix of energy displaced depends on factors like demand, fuel prices, and grid conditions at the time, but in general, wind power from the Nordics can support the tran- sition to a greener, more sustainable energy system across Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 4141 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment Europe. It is also beneficial for European energy security and independence. We estimate that by producing 674 GWh of renewable energy in 2024, we avoided approximately 162 000 tCO 2 e, assuming that we displace emissions from the average European energy mix (IEA EU-27). This quantifies our significant positive environ- mental impact, considering that our total direct and indirect emissions for the year, including construction activities, totaled 5 574 tCO 2 e. Targets Lifetime emissions from our power plants As part of our ‘3-in-30’ strategy, we strive to minimize the lifetime emissions of our power plants. Achieving this goal requires decarbonization across the value chain, particularly in power plant component production, where most emissions originate. However, with uncertain evolvement of new green technologies and reliance on third-party initiatives, setting precise targets remains challenging. We actively collaborate with suppliers and business partners to identify cost-effec- tive and sustainable project designs, such as incorporating low-carbon materials and fossil-free construction methods. Minimizing greenhouse gas emissions Every human activity generates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and renewable energy production is no exception. Mining, transportation, assembly, construction, inspection, and decommissioning all contribute to emissions, either directly or indirectly. We prioritize emission reductions at every project phase. Key decision points include project planning, procure- ment, subcontractor selection, and, most critically, finall investment decisions. GHG emissions are a key consideration in the evaluation of whether to develop or acquire a power plant, alongside financial, technical and regulatory factors. Cloudberry primarily relies on subcontractors for transporta- tion, construction, maintenance, and repairs; activities that account for 97% of our total emissions. Our direct emissions stem mainly from electricity use in offices and power plants, as well as business travel to meet local stakeholders, investors, and inspect facilities. While these direct sources are relatively inelastic and minor compared to subcontractor emissions, we remain committed to reducing all emissions. Science based targets We have set ambitious climate targets: • Reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030. • Cut total emissions by 90% by 2040. These commitments, verified by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), align with the global goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C. Our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions were low in our base year. Consequently, small fluctuations in emissions can significantly affect our perceived progress toward achieving the SBTi target when evaluated in percentage terms. Both metrics have increased since the base year, a fluctuation we consider normal on our path to achieving a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030. However, our total emissions were significantly reduced in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in scope 3, category 2 (“capital goods”), resulting from reduced procurement and construction activities. Our current progress toward the SBTi targets is further detailed in the subchapter “Evaluation of emissions”. GHG accounting Estimates & measurements Cloudberry utilizes the CEMAsys platform to calculate its emis- sions and energy usage. The platform automatically selects the appropriate emission factors based on the description of the emissions source. The data used to consolidate Cloudberry’s GHG emissions comes from two sources: actual measurements and estimates. Cloudberry is committed to open and transparent reporting across its operations and value chain, prioritizing actual data whenever feasible. However, obtaining precise data from the value chain is not always possible. In such cases, we make well-informed estimates, acknowledging the inherent uncer- tainties, especially as data sources become more indirect or less transparent. For each estimate, we disclose the methodology, assess its precision, and document the underlying assumptions and calculations to ensure future auditability. Estimates are period- ically updated when more accurate or efficient methodologies become available. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 4242 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment Data quality varies by source. For example, actual electricity usage is highly reliable, as it is sourced directly from invoices, while supplier-reported material usage (e.g., diesel consump- tion) may be less consistent. We assess the credibility of each data source, and when data is deemed unreliable, we either disclose the limitations or replace it with a well-founded esti- mate based on the best available information. Limitations Due to challenges in accessing reliable data from some part- ners, we have been unable to fully measure the emissions and energy consumption associated with the following projects. Given the high estimation uncertainty, we have opted to qual- itatively disclose these gaps rather than provide speculative figures. We are actively working to obtain the necessary data and will incorporate these emissions in our next annual report. Øvre Kvemma The hydropower plant was constructed by an external company. Cloudberry acquired shares in the completed facility upon its commissioning in Q3 2024. According to the GHG Protocol, emissions from the plant’s construction and associ- ated infrastructure should have been included in our Scope 3 emissions for 2024. However, we have been unable to obtain sufficient data to meet this requirement. Odal Wind A blade failure incident occurred at Odal Wind Farm in Q2, after which the turbine supplier conducted clean-up and restoration activities.

As a result, total emissions for 2022 and 2023 have been revised accordingly. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 4343 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment the relevant data, we believe the dataset may be partly incomplete regarding fuel consumption during clean-up. As Cloudberry holds a minority share in Odal Wind, emissions related to the supplier’s activities should be reported under Scope 3, Category 15 (‘Investments’). However, any unreported emissions from these activities are expected to be small. Waste generated at construction sites We have not been able to obtain comprehensive data on all waste generated by subcontractors at sites at Sundby, Munkhyttan, Odal, and Øvre Kvemma. Given the scale and nature of these projects, any missing data is likely to have a negligible effect on our GHG accounting. Evaluation of emissions Scope 1 Both scope 1 have increased year-over-year, primarily due to enhanced data collection and improved estimation accuracy. This demonstrates that higher reporting quality can some- times lead to higher reported emissions without an actual increase in emissions. Scope 1 emissions encompass all direct energy consumption in our own operations. This includes emissions from fuel consump- tion in our own cars and sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ) gas leakage from switchgears at our wind farms. Fuel consumption figures are derived from reported data, while SF 6 leakage estimates are based on supplier-specific reports. We consider these esti- mates to be reasonably accurate. Most fuel-related emissions from our activities occur during construction work performed by subcontractors. Fuel consumption by our suppliers is not included here. Instead, it falls under scope 3, category 1 (“Purchased goods and services”). Thus, scope 1 emissions account for less than 1% of Cloudberry’s total emissions. Scope 2 Our electricity consumption, and thus our location-based scope 2 emissions have remained consistent year-over-year. Scope 2 emissions include electricity usage in our electrical cars, at our offices, and at power plants. This data is highly reliable since it is sourced directly from invoices or metered readings. Using the location-based method, we estimate that electricity consumption represents approximately 2% of our total emissions. We do not purchase guarantees of origin certificates for our electricity consumption. While the data we have aquired is highly reliable, we acknowl- edge that it is not complete. Our power plants consume some of the electricity they generate, but the exact amount is unknown. This electricity comes directly from our wind farms and hydropower plants, both of which generate clean energy. Consequently, any unaccounted emissions are likely negligible. Scope 3 categories Approximately 97% of our total emissions originate within our value chain, making reductions along the value chain the most effective way to achieve a positive climate impact. In 2024, emis- sions in “Purchased goods and services,” “Capital goods” and “Upstream transportation” categories declined significantly, due to reduced construction activity compared to 2023 and 2022. In less than a year, our wind farms generate more energy than they consume throughout their entire life cycle. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 4444 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment Notably, the vast majority of emissions fall within the “Capital goods” category, which covers all upstream emissions from materials and components used in power plant installations. Conversely, emissions from “Fuel- and energy-related activ- ities,” “Waste,” “Business travel,” and “Investments” have increased – not due to greater activity, but because of improved data accuracy. In 2024, Cloudberry reassessed its material scope 3 categories determining that only categories 1–3 (“Purchased goods and services,” “Capital goods,” and “Fuel- and energy-related activities”) are material. However, for transparency, consistency with previous reports, and ease of data availability , we also disclose emissions from catego- ries 5, 6, and 15 (“Waste generated in operations,” “Business travel,” and “Investments,” respectively). The remaining categories are considered immaterial based on their emission levels. Additionally, we have decided no longer to report on category 4 and 12 (“Upstream transportation and distribu- tion” and “End-of-life treatment of sold products”), due to an updated understanding of their relevance. Category 1: Purchased goods and services This category encompasses emissions from goods and services procured in 2024. It includes lifecycle emissions from third-party service technicians traveling to our sites, as well as diesel consumption related to subcontractor construction activities. In 2024, this category accounted for only 1% of our total emissions. This is a decrease year-over-year due to reduced construction activity. We obtained travel data when available and estimated distances when necessary, and we consider this data sufficiently accurate. Category 2: Capital goods This category covers all upstream lifecycle emissions associ- ated with materials and components used in the Sundby and Munkhyttan Wind Farms, including steel, fiberglass, concrete, plastics, and metals for turbines, foundations, cables, switch- gear, transformers, and other materials used for the wind farm themselves as well as related infrastructure. In 2024, this category accounted for 94% of Cloudberry’s total emissions. Our data sources include reports from subcontractors on their fuel, electricity and material use, as well as turbine specific life cycle assessments. Unfortunately, there are some gaps in the collected data. These data gaps are either estimated or disclosed qualitatively, depending on their materiality and our perceived stakeholder interest. We consider the data sources to be reliable, and our estimates to be sufficiently precise. According to the GHG Protocol, the emissions associated with producing assets and components we acquire during the year, must be reported in the year of acquisition, regardless of which period the actual emissions occur. These emissions cannot be amortized or depreciated over an asset’s lifetime; they must be reported entirely in the acquisition year. As this category accounts for 94% of our total emissions, procurement is the main driver of our reported emissions, and year-over- year fluctuations in our procurement significantly impacts our GHG accounting. During 2024, our total reported emissions decreased by 63% year-over-year – primarily because the majority of the components used in our construction activities during the year, were acquired in previous years. We acknowl- edge that this reduction does not reflect progress toward our Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitment, as emissions will rise again with the construction of future projects. Despite these fluctuations, we remain committed to improving emissions efficiency by optimizing emissions per installed megawatt (MW) in future projects. Category 3: Fuel- and energy-related activities This category represents indirect emissions from our consumption of fuel and energy. It encompasses upstream emissions associated with energy, including electricity trans- mission and distribution losses, as well as diesel extraction, production, and transport. It accounts for 1% of our total emis- sions and is largely based on estimates, which may be slightly overestimated. However, given its minor significance, we main- tain the existing methodology for consistency. Category 5: Waste generated in operations Waste-related emissions account for less than 1% of our total emissions. Most offices receive waste reports that detail quan- tities and disposal methods, which we use to estimate waste per person and to allocate data for offices without reports. These estimates are assumed to be highly accurate. Although emissions from construction waste are not available, and thus this category may be underreported, any unaccounted emis- sions are assumed to be immaterial. Category 6: Business travel Historically, we collected actual employee business travel data by vehicle type. Because business travel has historically contributed an insignificant amount to our overall emissions, we estimated the 2024 business travel emissions based on historical travel patterns per employee. This category is slightly Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 4545 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment overestimated, because actual business travel declined slightly from 2023 levels. However, this category accounts for less than 1% of our total emissions, so the discrepancy is acceptable. Category 15: Investments This category includes Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from power plants in which Cloudberry owns a minority share and lacks operational control. In 2024, this applies to the Odal Wind Farm and the Forte Energy portfolio. In addition, it includes our ownership stake in Kraftanmelding. Emission data for this category consists of an equal mix of estimates and actual measurements, both of which are considered sufficiently accurate. Although potential emissions from Odal’s clean-up activities may have data limitations, these emissions are likely to be trivial. Overall, Category 15 accounts for less than 1% of our total emissions. Emissions intensity The Emissions Intensity table illustrates that most of our emis- sions occur during the construction phase of our power plants. During operation, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are less than 0.1 grams of CO 2 equivalents per kWh produced. Total emissions per kWh have steadily decreased, primarily due to reduced construction activities. Furthermore, the table shows that our avoided emissions (calculated using the IEA EU-27 mix) substantially exceed our total emissions. In fact, for every kWh generated, we avoid 30 times more emissions than we produce. This clearly demonstrates that our most significant contribution to mitigating climate change lies in developing additional power-producing assets. Emissions per power plant for 2024 The table above presents emissions per power plant. Emissions below 50 kgCO 2 e have been rounded to zero, which may create the impression that many plants have lower emissions than expected. However, this does not indi- cate underreporting; rather, it highlights how little our power plants emit during production phase. Note that the emissions from the operation of our power plants are incomplete.

Read more about this under the subchapter “Category 2: capital goods” above. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 4646 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment description of the power plants’ consumption of their own produced energy can be found under the subheading “Scope 2” above. The table illustrates that the Odin Portfolio exhibits significantly higher scope 2 emissions compared to our other producing assets. This is due to its location in Denmark, exposing it to an energy mix that is more influenced by non-renewable energy production in Europe. As a result, each kWh of electricity consumed has a considerably higher kgCO 2 e impact than that of our other assets. Energy usage MWh 2024 Total energy consumption 1 999 Total energy consumption from renewable sources 1 770 Consumption of electricity & district heating generated using renewable sources 1 769 Consumption of electricity generated using our own renewable power plants (Unknown quantity. Set to zero) - Diesel (cars and generators) - Renewable share 1 Total energy consumption from fossil sources 229 SF 6 leakage <0.01 Diesel (Cars and generators) - Fossil share 4 Consumption of electricity & district heating generated using fossil sourcesrenewable sources 225 In 2024, Cloudberry’s total energy consumption amounted to 1 999 MWh, while our energy production reached 674 GWh. This results in a production-to-consumption ratio of 337:1. However, this exceptionally high ratio should be interpreted with caution, as it is not representative of our typical operations. The primary reason for this outlier is that the ratio does not account for the lifetime energy consumption of each power plant. It includes the energy production of plants commissioned before 2024 but excludes the energy required for their construction. For context, independent assessments have estimated that our wind parks will generate between 27-37 times more elec- trical energy than the amount of energy that was, and will be, consumed over its entire life cycle. Including manufacturing, operating, servicing, and disposing of the power plant. All while delivering clean, renewable power with every kilowatt-hour produced. The way forward Going forward, we will continue to accelerate the development of new clean energy projects. The design and location of these projects will depend on changes in the macroeconomic envi- ronment, future energy prices, and regulatory frameworks. We will invest further in countries that offer favorable renewable energy frameworks and competitive energy costs. Our project backlog includes a range of exciting and profitable technol- ogies, notably our planned solar park in Denmark and energy storage systems in Sweden. This diversification will reduce our reliance on specific resources and suppliers, minimize market cannibalization, and further establish Cloudberry as a serious player in the Nordic renewable energy sector. tCO 2 e Total scope 1 Total scope 2 Total scope 3 Total Development projects Munkhyttan 0 0 5 156 5 156 Sundby 1 0 267 267 Producing assets Odin 5 30 38 74 Odal 0 5 13 18 Sundby 1 3 5 8 Munkhyttan 1 1 3 5 Hån 2 1 2 5 Forte Energy 0 0 1 1 Røyrmyra 0 0 0 1 Usma 0 0 0 1 Bøen 0 0 0 0.4 Bjørgelva 0 0 0 0.3 Flatestøl (Skåråna) 0 0 0 0.3 Ramsliåna 0 0 0 0.3 Øvre Kvemma 0 0 0 0.3 Steinbergdalen (Skåråna) 0 0 0 0.2 Finnesetbekken 0 0 0 0.1 Tinnkraft 0 0 0 0.1 Offices Norway 0 2 29 31 Sweden 0 1 5 6 Total 10 44 5 520 5 574 Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 4747 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment Biodiversity Description of the IROs Type of IRO Value chain Management of the IRO Timeframe Production of clean energy contributes to the mitigation of climate change, which is a direct impact driver of biodiversity loss Our production of clean energy mitigates climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which is a primary driver of Biodiversity loss. Climate change accelerates biodiversity loss by altering habitats, increasing extreme weather events, and disrupting ecosystems. Actual Positive impact Providing renewable energy for future generations is at the heart of our business model. Ecosystem improvement projects During the planning phase, we engage biologists to identify potential initiatives aimed at promoting nature rehabilitation and enhancing conditions for greater biodiversity. Actual Positive impact We identify and implement initiatives to strengthen local biodiversity and to minimize negative impact from our activities. Cloudberry continuously monitor our power plants to ensure that the plants are operated in accordance with permits, which are designed to avoid/minimize negative impacts on local ecosystems. We have had zero concession breaches during 2024. However, we consider it our duty to go beyond just compliance; We aim to implement initiatives that positively impact our projects. Being known as a responsible developer that positively impacts nature may increase local willingness to host our power plants By implementing a robust portfolio of impactful initiatives, such as enhancing local ecosystems and other nature positive projects, we establish ourselves as a responsible developer. This reputation can encourage neighboring municipalities and communities to welcome our future projects. Opportunity Upstream impacts on ecosystems Building power plants is a resource intensive process that relies on a steady inflow of metals and minerals. The mining, refining, and transporting of these materials contribute to upstream biodiversity loss through ecotoxicity, habitat destruction, land use changes, freshwater depletion, and land degradation. Actual Negative impact To mitigate these impacts, Cloudberry imposes strict environmental and sustainability requirements on our suppliers, enforcing compliance through supply chain due diligence and sustainability audits. Land-use impact from renewable energy projects Wind farms and hydropower plants alter local ecosystems, particularly during construction-phase. Actual Negative impact To minimize our negative impacts, Cloudberry prioritizes impact reduction, sustainable land-use planning, and biodiversity restoration post-decommissioning. Value chain Upstream Own operations Downstream Timeframe Short-term Medium-term Long-term Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 4848 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment Policies Biodiversity requirements are included in our Code of Conduct, Supplier Code of Conduct, Supplier Due Diligence, Supplier’s Self-Assessment Forms, and as specific clauses in supplier- and subcontractor contracts where relevant. In addition to our internal guidelines, all of our power plants are subject to strict environmental requirements from local and national regulators. The combination of internal and external requirements ensures that we plan and operate our power plants responsibly. We have a whistle-blower channel that is open for both employees, subcontractors and the public to report, both actual and suspected, incidents of negative impacts on nature. Actions Our approach to minimizing impacts on nature Cloudberry constructs and operates power plants within natural environments. We recognize that such expansion carry the potential to negatively affect ecosystems and biodiversity if it is not constructed and operated responsibly. Each location has unique ecosystems and thus different risks and oppor- tunities. A key part of the planning phase is engaging with local communities to understand their concerns and interests. These concerns often relate to potential negative impacts on nature. We consider these issues carefully, and they help shape the final project design. Our engagement with local communities is further detailed in the chapter on Affected Communities. Cloudberry conducts preliminary examination to assess each site’s unique features, ensuring that potential, significant biodiversity and ecosystem impacts are identified early. This involves risk analysis with third-party consultants, frequent site visits and evaluations by external biologists. Once sufficient data is collected, we perform thorough evaluations based on the principles of the mitigation hierarchy. If we identify significant impacts that cannot be managed in accordance with the hierarchy, the project is terminated. This underscores our respect for biodiversity and ecosystems. In addition to mitigating adverse effects, we actively seek opportunities for positive ecological initiatives. We explore measures to enhance local ecosystems through habitat restoration, the implementation of sustainable land management practices and other relevant initiatives. When potential impacts are determined to be manage- able, we move forward to secure the necessary permits to Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 4949 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment construct and operate the power plants. The concession applications often propose mitigating requirements that we place on ourselves. The authorities carry out a comprehen- sive evaluation of all potential and actual negative impacts identified. Concessions shall only be issued when the poten- tial negative impacts of the power plants can be managed responsibly. The concessions include environmental criteria specifically adopted to safeguard local ecosystems, cultural heritage sites, and other interests of the local community around that specific site. As an example, the concession for our hydro power plant, Bøen II, mandated a design of the power plants water intake that allows eel to move down- stream undisturbed. These requirements are implemented in our designs, all our operational power plants are continually monitored to ensure lasting compliance. After obtaining a concession, and other relevant permits from the authorities, we proceed to the construction phase. We only engage responsible subcontractors who have passed Cloudberry’s due diligence process and comply with the strict environmental requirements outlined in our contracts and Supplier Code of Conduct. Read more about our supplier requirements in the chapters “Workers in the value chain” and “Business Conduct”. The construction phase also includes strategies to minimize environmental impacts. For example, we consider scheduling the most disruptive activities outside the local animals’ breeding, nesting, or rearing season whenever possible. In addition, we strive to reduce affected areas by minimizing on-site component storage through just-in-time delivery and by incorporating road design approaches that lessen the need for passing places when feasible. At the end of a power plant’s operational life, we will dismantle the facility in a manner that minimizes environmental impact while maximizing recycling opportunities. By prioritizing methods that allow for more recycling of materials, we contribute to reducing the demand for virgin raw materials, whose extraction and refinement can have substantial nega- tive upstream effects on nature. Additionally, with permission from the landowner, we will implement nature positive meas- ures to restore the ecosystem to an even healthier condition than before our involvement. Each of our power plants are built and operated in full compliance with the rigorous stand- ards established by our operating licenses, and our continuous monitoring ensures that we consistently meet, and often exceed, all environmental requirements. In addition, during 2024 Sundby Wind Farm maintained the environmental certification “Bra Miljöval” (Good Environmental Choice). This certificate demonstrates that the electricity production at the Sundby windfarm meets a set of environ- mental criteria, including biodiversity. Targets Our goal is that our operations shall have a net positive impact on nature. Our projects are designed not only to mitigate adverse effects but also to actively enhance biodiversity wherever possible. We integrate comprehensive biodiversity assessments into our project planning to ensure our devel- opments bolster ecosystem resilience and promote species diversity. Furthermore, we actively implement ecological enhancement projects to support and enrich natural habitats throughout the lifecycle of our assets. For instance, at Sundby Wind Farm in Sweden, we collaborated with third-party consultants to identify and adopt nature conservation meas- ures that enhance biodiversity on-site. These efforts include supporting pollinator populations, monitoring avian species, and creating new habitat spaces. The way forward While we acknowledge that our construction and operational activities may disturb local ecosystems around our sites, public perceptions of our negative impacts are often exag- gerated. Moving forward, we will prioritize data collection and transparent disclosure of our findings. All our projects comply with strict environmental requirements and will continue to do so. Additionally, we will focus on identifying nature-positive initiatives to enhance biodiversity around new construction sites and develop innovative solutions to minimize and avoid construction impacts. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 5050 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment Spoor: Protecting wildlife with AI: A smarter future for wind energy The transition to renewable energy is essential for combating climate change, but it must be pursued in coexistence with nature. Wind turbines could pose risks to bird populations through collisions and habitat disruption. However, strategic planning, improved turbine design, and data-driven measures can significantly reduce these impacts. By integrating responsible siting, monitoring, and mitigation measures, we can ensure that wind power development supports both renewable energy goals and biodiversity protection. As the global demand for renewable energy grows, so does the responsibility to mitigate its ecological impact. That is why Cloudberry has teamed up with Spoor, a Norwegian technology firm using AI-powered camera systems to monitor bird activity around wind farms. Founded in 2020 during the pandemic, Spoor was built on a fundamental question: How can industry and nature co-exist? Traditional methods of studying bird migration and collision risks – such as onsite ornithologists or radar – sometimes fall short in delivering precise, reliable and long-term data. Spoor’s AI-driven approach offers operators of wind farm data-backed insights to help balance energy production with nature conservation. – Wind energy is crucial for the transition to renewables, but it must be done in coexistence with nature to safeguard long-term value creation. Our technology gives operators the ability to make informed decisions while dispelling myths about its impact on bird populations, says Ralph Natter Berg, a key executive at the company. One of Spoor’s landmark projects is its partnership with Cloudberry at the Rørmyra wind farm, where their system has recorded approximately 240,000 bird movements in the area. Preliminary reports from Spoor during the first two years of data collection indicate that fewer than one bird per turbine per year collides, demonstrating the impor- tance of local knowledge and the use of modern technology in understanding and mitigating our projects’ impacts on the environment. When it comes to implementation, regulators always look for the best solutions with high quality data to guide their decisions, but many countries still rely on traditional assessment methods. However, environmental authorities in Sweden and Norway are showing increasing openness to also include camera-based monitoring powered by AI. – Our journey started with recording bird activity around wind farms, providing operators with insights into flight patterns and collision risks. But data alone isn’t enough. We saw the need to move from observation to action. Our next step is to enable real mitigation by implementing AI-driven solutions like shut down-on-demand technology, which precisely reduces turbine speed when high-risk species are detected. This shift allows wind energy to be both efficient and responsible, ensuring maximum protection of birds with maximum renewable energy production, says Ralph. Ingrid Bjørdal, our Chief Sustainability Officer, is closely engaged in advancing technological mitigation solutions: – As Cloudberry expands wind power across the Nordics, we see great potential in scaling and inte- grating these solutions. The trial at Rørmyra wind farm was our first step, followed by Odal wind farm. With rapid advancements in AI technology, Cloudberry is committed to leading the industry in innovation and sustainability. We want to demon- strate that balancing respect for nature with society’s growing demand for renewable energy is not just possible –it’s essential, says Ingrid. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 5151 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment EU Taxonomy Sustainability must be measurable and comparable. The EU Taxonomy sets clear criteria for defining sustainable activities, allowing Cloudberry to demonstrate how our business model drives the green transition. Cloudberry is required to report under the EU Taxonomy, the EU classification system that defines sustainable economic activities. The EU Taxonomy aims to establish a framework that produces comparable information across sectors and geography. To this end, the EU has adopted regulations covering various economic activities and categorized those to which the regulations apply as eligible. In this context, eligible means that an activity is covered by the regulations, not that it is sustainable. If an eligible activity meets the EU criteria for sustainability, it is considered aligned with the EU Taxonomy. To be aligned, an eligible activity must: 1. Make a substantial contribution to at least one of the six environmental objectives. 2. Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) to the other environmental objectives. 3. Comply with minimum safeguards related to human and labor rights. This chapter outlines Cloudberry’s methodology for assessing whether our activities are eligible and, if so, whether the eligible activities are aligned with the EU Taxonomy. The assessment follows three key steps: 1. Eligibility Assessment –Identifying activities that fall within the scope of the EU Taxonomy. 2. Alignment Verification – Determining whether these activ- ities meet technical screening criteria, Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) principles, and minimum safeguards. 3. KPI Calculation – Measuring the proportion of revenue, capital expenditure (CapEx), and operational expenditure (OpEx) associated with eligible and aligned activities. The assessment methodology relies on self-evaluation, compliance with international frameworks for corporate responsibility, and outcomes from previous years’ consulta- tions with third-party verifiers. Environmental objectives: • Climate change mitigation • Climate change adaptation • Protection of water and marine resources • Transition to a circular economy • Pollution prevention and control • Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 5252 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment Step 1: Eligibility assessment Eligible activities We screened our own activities, to identify which activities are explicitly included in the EU taxonomy regulation. We iden- tified the activities “Electricity generation from hydropower” and “Electricity generation from wind power” as relevant for Cloudberry. These activities encompass both the construction and operation of such power plants. Thus, our construction projects and our producing assets are eligible under the EU-taxonomy. Non-eligible activities Conversely, we have determined that Captiva’s technical commercial asset management services are ineligible. This may seem counterintuitive, since operational monitoring, quality assurance, HSE compliance, on-site supervision, commercial management, financial services, maintenance, and revenue management are fundamental to operating a power plant. However, the Taxonomy requires us to classify Captiva’s services within the non-eligible activity “Asset management”, rather than the eligible activity “Electricity generation from hydropower”. These activities are never- theless closely linked to producing renewable energy, so this classification highlights the limitations of the EU Taxonomy’s stringent rules. Step 2: Alignment assessment The next step is to identify whether the eligible activities are aligned. Our wind power and hydropower plants were assessed against chapter 4.3 and chapter 4.5 in Annex 1 of the Delegated Act 2021/2139, respectively. These chapters describe the technical screening criteria to making a substantial contri- bution to climate change mitigation and the “Do No Significant Harm” (DNSH) criteria for the other five environmental objec- tives for both technologies. To assess the technical screening criteria, we considered actual measurements, internal risk analyses for each power plant, climate risk analyses based on the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report, the license requirement for each specific power plant, the power plants’ LCAs and addi- tional sources. We concluded that all our power plants meet the technical requirements. In addition, we verified that our opera- tions still comply with the minimumrequirements concerning the core topics of human rights & workers’ rights, bribery/corruption, taxation, and fair competition. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 5353 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment Step 3: Calculation of KPIs Reporting principles The EU Taxonomy requires the disclosure of three KPIs; Turnover, CapEx and OpEx. Our methodology for calculating these KPIs is based on our interpretation of the delegated acts, as well as guidance from the European Commission. In calculating the KPIs, Cloudberry reports on figures that derive from activities that are eligible and aligned to Taxonomy. The calculations are defined as follows: The basis for calculating the three KPIs is Cloudberry’s consolidated financial figures as of year-end 2024. Thus, the calculation of the KPIs includes economic activities of compa- nies that Cloudberry controls figures from joint ventures (JVs) and associated companies. Turnover Cloudberry’s turnover, disclosed in compliance with the Taxonomy, is the net turnover from the sale of electricity from wind and hydro energy, and sale of electricity certificates and guarantees of origin originating from hydro and wind gener- ated electricity. Eligible & aligned Turnover % = Numerator: Revenue from eligible and aligned activities IFRS 15 Sales RevenueDenominator: Capital expenditure (CapEx) Cloudberry’s Capex, disclosed in compliance with the Taxonomy, includes total expenditure for additions to property, plant, and equipment (PPE), intangible assets, and right-of-use assets directly associated with Taxonomy-eligible activities or those covered by a plan to expand or transition eligible activities into Taxonomy-aligned ones. These expenditures additions mainly cover the purchase or construction costs of power plants. However, they exclude capitalized development costs related to internal employee salaries, external develop- ment costs and interest costs for projects still in the backlog or pipeline.

Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 5454 Sustainability | EnvironmentSustainability | Environment The results Cloudberry’s EU Taxonomy reporting reaffirms its strong alignment with sustainable economic activities. The data shows that turnover is derived from renewable energy sales, of capital expenditure (CapEx) is invested in wind and hydro- power projects, and of operating expenditure (OpEx) goes toward maintaining and enhancing these renewable assets. Notably, all eligible activities are fully aligned with the EU Taxonomy’s requirements, meaning they contribute substan- tially to climate change mitigation, do not significantly harm other environmental objectives, and comply with safeguards related to human and labor rights. Cloudberry’s near-total alignment, especially the 99% CapEx alignment, highlights its commitment to renewable energy investments and reinforces its role in Europe’s green transition. This dedication to sustainable growth solidifies Cloudberry’s position as a key player in the green economy.

Actual positive impact We ensure high motivation by engaging in several social events and wellness initiatives to increase job satisfaction; by trusting our employees with autonomy, providing meaningful work, and through open and honest communication. We continually monitor our employees’ motivation, and take action whenever necessary. Increased efficiency and innovation due to high motivation Our annual survey finds that our employees consider their work to be important, motivating and fulfilling. Ensuring that our employees remain motivated and satisfied ensures low turnover and a high degree of engagement, which in turn may lead to value creation through effective and innovative employees. Opportunity Potential discrimination or harassment in the workplace Potential negative impacts can arise from incidents of discrimination or harassment in the workplace, caused by unconscious bias or intent. Such impacts can potentially occur between colleagues, between Cloudberry as an employer and its employees, or in the context of recruitment processes. Potential negative impact We have received no indication of discrimination or harassment having occurred within our own operations. Still, Cloudberry works systematically to promote equality and prevent discrimination in the workplace. This is done through our annual employee engagement survey, our Code of Conduct, our whistleblower channel, and our inclusive culture. Our commitment to equal opportunities applies to all organizational processes, including recruitment and hiring, working conditions, training, development, compensation, benefits, leave of absence, salary and promotions. Value chain Upstream Own operations Downstream Timeframe Short-term Medium-term Long-term Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 6060 Sustainability | SocialSustainability | Social The green transition will entail the creation of jobs and changes to existing roles. It is paramount that the renewable sector provides good working conditions and opportunities. In all areas of our operations, Cloudberry is committed to providing working conditions that ensure health and safety, equal opportunities, professional development and well-being. Policies Code of Conduct The Code of Conduct outlines ethical guidelines and expecta- tions both for our workforce and the organization. The policy addresses a range of topics, including health and safety, labor rights, diversity, equity, inclusion, professional develop- ment, and whistleblowing. All employees receive the Code of Conduct as part of their employment contract. Whistleblowing policy The policy aims to spread awareness about the right and responsibility of employees to report misconduct in Cloudberry. It outlines the reporting process and how cases are handled. Cloudberry provides a confidential whistleblowing channel, with the option to report anonymously. The policy applies to all employees in Cloudberry, as well as business relationships and other third parties. Suspected breaches can be reported anonymously through our whistleblower channel. While these reports are initially handled internally, they will be escalated to the appropriate authorities if necessary. Confirmed violations may result in internal and/or external sanctions under labor, tort or criminal law. Reporting about suspected violations shall never lead to retribution in any way. We received no notices through the whistle-blowing channel in 2024.

A key step in identifying relevant IROs is identifying which resources our key activities depend on. This exercise confirmed that we are powered by people, and our most critical dependency is our workforce. As a knowledge-based company, Cloudberry relies on the expertise, proactive attitude, and location-specific insights of our employees. Consequently, our foremost activity is to attract and retain the brightest talent in the energy industry. Attracting, retaining, and developing a highly skilled workforce requires continual focus. To meet this challenge, Cloudberry offers competitive benefits, rapid career advancement, significant autonomy, and opportunities for employees to help shape the future of our rapidly growing company. Our team stays with us because they are entrusted with meaningful tasks, supported by an inclusive and collaborative work envi- ronment, and provided with exceptional growth opportunities. We recognize that retaining our most valuable resource is an ongoing process, one that demands daily engagement and renewal. Ensuring mental well-being We have established a range of formal and informal initiatives to foster a vibrant work environment. Our employees enjoy twice-weekly workout sessions during working hours, weekly social events, regular in-office gatherings, and generally an inclusive atmosphere during the working day. To promote a Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 6161 Sustainability | SocialSustainability | Social sense of community across borders, we host biannual events that bring together colleagues from all corners of the Nordics. We prioritize making everyone feel seen and giving praise when it’s deserved. For example, we make sure to highlight individual success stories and achievements in our townhall meetings. By the same token, we feature stories of employees demonstrating the core values of our company. In 2024, we also marked World Mental Health Day with a dedicated event on mental well-being, focusing on the importance of belonging, purpose, and control—reinforcing our commitment to a supportive workplace culture. Ensuring physical well-being Cloudberry’s business model inherently presents low physical risk to our own workforce. Our employees typically operate in the safety of offices, engage in meetings with local stake- holders, or conduct site inspections. These activities are generally associated with minimal health and safety-, human rights-, or labor risks. However, a low level of risk does not justify inaction. ESRS mandates that, when assessing potential negative human rights risks, severity must take precedence over likelihood. Cloudberry applies the same approach when evaluating health and safety and labor rights risks. These assessments are thoroughly analyzed, and the results are the foundation of our policies and initiatives. Note that, while the risk of physical harm to our own employees is low, there are significant health and safety considerations in our supply chain and among the Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 6262 Sustainability | SocialSustainability | Social subcontractors working at our sites. We implement several initiatives and policies to manage these risks. Read more about this in the following chapters. Engaging with our workforce As a lean organization with a flat hierarchy, communication is seamless, allowing employees to informally voice their concerns directly with executive management. However, we also proactively seek feedback through an annual survey and biannual individual performance appraisals. This ongoing dialogue allows us to continuously enhance our work envi- ronment and support our team’s development. We carefully analyze and discuss this feedback to identify areas for improvement and implement targeted initiatives to address them. The 2024 survey underscored a particularly strong performance in both employee motivation and the diversity and inclusion index. Average scores of 5.4 and 5.5, respec- tively, on a 1–6 Likert scale, demonstrate that our efforts in these areas are yielding the desired results. Cloudberry is a dynamic and evolving organization. Our acquisition of Captiva and the upcoming transaction with Skovgaard Energy have made significant changes within our workforce. Such transitions can pose challenges to employee morale. However, we remain committed to ensuring that every new and old team member feels heard and secure throughout these periods of transformation. Although absenteeism is a multifaceted issue, it can still serve as an indirect measure of employee well-being, because higher sick leave rates can be linked to factors such as elevated stress, poor leadership, and work-related physical injuries. In 2024, Cloudberry employees reported a sick leave rate of only 3.4%, which is significantly lower than the national average of approximately 7.2% (SSB, Q3 2024). Targets We have three target categories related to our workforce. The first target is to achieve zero workplace injuries. We are pleased to report that during the reporting period, no injuries were recorded among our employees. To uphold this standard, we maintain protocols for the prompt internal reporting of both actual injuries and near misses across all sites under our control, as well as at locations where Cloudberry holds a minority stake. Every reported incident is systematically escalated through the appropriate channels and ultimately reviewed by our Board of Directors, ensuring continuous over- sight and accountability. Secondly, we have set two diversity and inclusion targets: by 2025, we aim for 40% female employees and at least 40% female representation in executive leadership. This is crucial for our continued growth, as diverse perspectives drive impactful decision-making. Lastly, our annual employee survey measures a broad range of topics, ranging from work-life balance to satisfaction with innovative AI-solutions. We have set targets related to our employees engagement and diversity. For 2024 we met both targets. Our employees participate in tailored bonus schemes aligned with their respective roles. A key component of every scheme is a substantial emphasis on the individual’s contribution to company culture, social cohesion, and their demonstration of Cloudberry’s core values; to be supportive, committed, excellent, and bold. By linking monetary incentives to these principles, Cloudberry underscores its commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace. We believe this approach is a key driver of employee engagement and retention. The way forward Our highly skilled workforce is the cornerstone of our compet- itive advantage. We recruit each employee for their unique expertise and innovative mindset. Retaining top talent is paramount; hence, we are committed to cultivating an envi- ronment where careers thrive. To uphold this commitment, we actively listen to our employees, maintain the initiatives they value, implement robust development strategies, and continu- ously refine systems that require improvement. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 6363 Sustainability | SocialSustainability | Social Workers in the value-chain Description of the IROs Type of IRO Value chain Management of the IRO Timeframe Human rights impacts in the upstream supply chain The supply chain for energy assets is complex and fragmented. Construction of wind and hydro power plants requires the procurement of metals, electromechanics and composite materials, indirectly exposing Cloudberry to industry-wide value chain risks, such as: • excessive working hours • dangerous working conditions • low income • debt bondage • child labor • forced labor • discrimination and sexual exploitation • impacts on indigenous peoples and marginalized communities by land acquisition and forced displacements • the funding of armed groups by illegal mining • violence against defenders of human rights and the environment. Potential negative impact We prevent and mitigate negative impacts on the workers in our value chain through our supplier code of conduct, contractual clauses, supplier audits, procurement practices and supplier due diligence. These documents and initiatives pressure our direct business relationships to make similar demands of their business relationships. We emphasize cultivating long-term and honest relationships with our suppliers and business partners. This motivates both parties to act responsibly, honestly, and ethically to maintain the relationship. This enables us to have a greater impact on our business partners’ conduct than our size would indicate. Worker’s rights in the construction phase Cloudberry does not perform construction work directly. Instead, we engage experienced subcontractors to carry out construction activities on our behalf. Engaging hired personnel in the context of construction and maintenance is associated with sector-wide risks to workers’ rights. However, the risks are somewhat decreased by the geographical positioning of Cloudberry in the Nordic countries – owing to the presence of unions and strong labor legislation. Still, several risks in the area of indecent working conditions, inadequate HSE routines, and workers’ rights in general persist, especially connected to the employment of temporary workers and labor migrants. Potential negative impact Health and safety of non-employees during the operational phase Cloudberry engage service technicians to perform the periodic maintenance, local workforce to perform frequent inspections, and subcontractors to perform repairs as needed. These individuals are not directly employed by Cloudberry. Therefore, we consider the risks related to poor HSE compliance to be higher than for our own workforce. Potential negative impact Value chain Upstream Own operations Downstream Timeframe Short-term Medium-term Long-term Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 6464 Sustainability | SocialSustainability | Social A just energy transition requires the protection of workers’ human rights throughout the value chain. Engaging in a global value chain, Cloudberry risks contributing to potential negative impacts on worker’s rights in various ways – from the procurement of renewable energy components to the service of subcontractors working on our sites. Cloudberry works systematically to identify, mitigate and avoid actual or poten- tially adverse impacts. In our due diligence assessments of 2024 under the Transparency Act, we identified several risks at our own power plants. These risks included poor HSE compliance by subcontractors at our operating power plants. With regard to construction activities, we specifically identified the risks of inadequate compliance with HSE routines and indecent working conditions by subcontractors working on our sites. Policies In 2024, Cloudberry further enhanced its health and safety procedures for third-party employees and contractors at the wind and hydropower plants we own, as well as those under asset management. These improvements included updating our internal control routines, revising the requirements for working at heights, establishing new procedures for the regular replacement of fire extinguishers, mandating inspec- tions of hoists before use, and updating the contact posters for reporting concerns, issues, and injuries. Supplier Code of Conduct The most significant risk of human rights breach lies deep within our upstream value chain, where visibility and direct oversight are limited. We remain committed to assessing and mitigating these risks through supplier due diligence and responsible sourcing practices. One of the ways we exert influence on our suppliers is through our Supplier Code of Conduct (SCoC). The SCoC sets clear expectations for all our business partners to respect and promote human and labor rights. Furthermore, our suppliers and business partners are required to conduct due diligence and set out requirements for their subcontractors and their own upstream suppliers. This obligation enables Cloudberry to have an indirect, positive influence on our suppliers’ suppliers. Under the SCoC, suppliers must comply with laws regarding conflict minerals to prevent the funding of actors violating human rights. Regarding workers’ rights, the SCoC emphasizes suppliers’ respect for the right to freely associate, join unions, and bargain collectively. The suppliers’ employees’ are also entitled to fair contracts and compensation, regular safety training, and safe and hygienic work environments, facilities and accommodations. Forced and child labor is strictly prohib- ited. The SCoC further sets out expectations to condemn workplace discrimination and harassment. These requirements are solidified by contractual clauses – making our expectations binding. If Cloudberry identi- fies non-compliance by any member of the supply chain, Cloudberry is set to notify the supplier of the breach and request all necessary information to investigate the non-com- pliance, as well as a correction plan. Safety is our top priority. A collaborative safety exercise at Sundby Wind Farm, featuring the joint efforts of Eskilstuna Fire Department and Vestas. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 6565 Sustainability | SocialSustainability | Social Whistle-blowing policy The Whistle-blowing policy applies to suppliers and business partners, including temporary workers hired from temporary staffing agencies. It seeks to spread awareness among employees about their rights and duties to report violations of our guidelines or other misconduct. The policy provides guide- lines on how reports can be made, and what can be expected from Cloudberry in the event of a report. Our whistleblowing channel is accessible on our internet page (www.cloudberry.no), to provide workers with an accessible platform to voice concerns or misconduct. Aiming to foster a culture of transparency and accountability, the channel is widely promoted and allows for anonymous reporting. The whistle-blowing policy and reporting channels are meant to ensure alignment with the Working Environment Act (Arbeidsmiljøloven) chapterand similar laws and regulations in the rest of the Nordics on whistleblowing. Systematic monitoring Comprehensive monitoring is undertaken to assess and address impacts on human rights and decent working condi- tions. Our due diligence processes are conducted on the basis of international standards, including those covered by the Norwegian Transparency Act: • the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (“ICESCR”), • the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (“ICCPR”), • the OECD guiding principles for Multinational Enterprises, • The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, • and the core Conventions of the International Labor Organization. Our risk-based analysis and mitigation initiatives concentrate on the highest-risk areas of our value chain. For further details, please refer to our Transparency Report, scheduled for publi- cation on our website in June 2025. Actions Pre-screening of suppliers Cloudberry is committed to fostering a responsible and sustainable value chain that upholds high standards of accountability, ethics, and environmental stewardship. As part of our supplier’s due diligence process, we require all part- ners and suppliers to align with our expectations regarding regulatory compliance, quality assurance, environmental responsibility, and health and safety standards. All our major suppliers had to complete our Supplier Declaration Form, where we evaluate key aspects such as adherence to the Transparency Act, human rights practices, environmental impact reduction, and ethical business conduct. By setting clear expectations and assessing risks through prequalifi- cation screenings and ongoing evaluations, we ensure that our suppliers operate responsibly while fostering continuous improvement. This approach enables us to build long-term partnerships with suppliers who share our vision for sustaina- bility, respect for workers’ rights, and commitment to reducing environmental impact. Engagement with workers Our project managers maintain a regular onsite presence at our construction projects. This includes participating in safety walks, participating in safety-awareness-trainings, and engaging with the workers. These interactions provide valuable insights into the experiences of potentially vulner- able workers, and it demonstrates to the subcontractors’ employees that Cloudberry prioritizes workers’ rights, promoting adherence to the health and safety routines. We collaborate with the subcontractors to address any identified gaps, ensuring a safer and more inclusive working environment. Training programs All of Cloudberry employees received training on governance and compliance matters, including anti-corruption measures and whistleblower policies. Project managers were also trained in human rights and safe working conditions. Targets Cloudberry is committed to zero injuries across all project phases - development, construction, operation and, decom- missioning – for own employees, subcontractors, suppliers, and other third parties. In 2024, there were no recordable inju- ries at the power plants under our direct control, nor did we receive any reports of serious upstream injuries from our major suppliers. However, in the fourth quarter a subcontractor at Odal wind farm sustained a lost-time injury involving a broken leg. While Cloudberry does not have operational control of Odal wind farm due to its minority ownership stake, we take such incidents seriously. Our management, together with Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 6666 Sustainability | SocialSustainability | Social Odal Wind Farm leadership, is actively following up to ensure appropriate HSE measures are implemented. This incident was reported to Cloudberry’s ESG-committee, Audit Committee, and Board of Directors, underscoring our commitment to ensuring safe working environments across all Cloudberry- associated projects. As part of our continuous improvement efforts, we are strengthening safety initiatives internally and in collaboration with our partners to mitigate risks and prevent future incidents. Workers in the value chain Our supplier audits, requirements, site visits, and safety walks have proven effective at detecting and preventing negative impacts on workers at our tier 1 suppliers, and we will continue these initiatives. To manage issues further into our value chain, we will strengthen cooperation with our direct business part- ners and work together to encourage improvements among subsuppliers. As we explore new technologies, we will remain vigilant regarding emerging risks to workers, recognizing that different technologies have distinct supply chains and associ- ated challenges. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 6767 Sustainability | SocialSustainability | Social Affected communities Description of the IROs Type of IRO Value chain Management of the IRO Timeframe Rights of Indigenous Peoples The supply chains for metals and minerals are long and opaque. There is a potential for negative impacts on the rights of indigenous peoples in these supply chains. Potential negative impact We prevent and mitigate negative impacts on the indigenous peoples and affected communities around our upstream value chain through our supplier code of conduct, contractual clauses, supplier audits, procurement practices and supplier due diligence. These documents and initiatives pressure our direct business relationships to make similar demands of their business relationships. Cloudberry is committed to having no direct infringement of indigenous peoples and none of Cloudberry’s development projects are located in areas that historically belong to the Sámi people. Economic contributions through local value creation Cloudberry supports local economies by using local contractors and suppliers, paying land-use royalties, funding community initiatives, and improving local infrastructure. Actual positive impact Cloudberry evaluates the availability of local alternatives in our procurement processes and proactively engages with the local business community to encourage bidding in tenders. Community consent through demonstrated local value creation Positive local impact through targeted investments, educational outreach, and nature access programs may enhance municipal & community willingness to host Cloudberry projects. Opportunity Cloudberry proactively integrates community consultation & biodiversity protection measures in all our projects. We recognize that acting responsibly in every aspect of our operations is essential, as even a single misstep can harm trust and credibility. To reduce reputational counterparty risk, we only engage with responsible business partners who align with our commitment to social and environmental integrity. Local opposition Power plants can have a visual and acoustic impact on the local society. In addition, power plants may restrict access to areas that were previously fully accessible to the local community. Actual negative impact Cloudberry engage local stakeholders in open and honest dialogue to listen to their concerns with the intention to identify and implement the best solutions for each specific location. Value chain Upstream Own operations Downstream Timeframe Short-term Medium-term Long-term Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 6868 Sustainability | SocialSustainability | Social Policies Code of Conduct Our Code of Conduct emphasizes the importance of commu- nity engagement, transparency, and sustainability. It sets out that local revenue should grow in accordance with increased industry profitability. The guidelines specifically highlight the importance of local job creation, local economic integration and enabling positive spin-offs. Our success depends on meaningful engagement with communities affected by our operations. Early stakeholder dialogue is foundational to our approach, allowing us to understand community needs and aspirations. By initiating conversations with landowners and local stakeholders at the project outset, we aim to secure wide-ranging support and foster collaboration. Our projects are designed to be envi- ronmentally and socially sustainable, with community voices integral to the final design of the project. The Code of Conduct include guidelines regarding Indigenous people’s rights specifically. While Cloudberry does not operate in any traditional Sámi areas, negative impacts on such areas necessitates guidelines to prevent negative impact. Among other guidelines, Cloudberry shall ensure that licenses follow a free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) by indigenous groups potentially impacted by our operations, in compliance with the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDIR) article 10 and the ILO Convention no. 169 article 6. Moreover, production and extraction shall not cause degradation to resources that marginalized communities depend on. Actions Local community engagement One of Cloudberry’s main competitive advantages is our local presence. We regularly visit the local communities, and we develop projects in close dialogue with local stakeholders. Through meaningful dialogue with local communities, we aim to secure broad-based support and foster collaboration. This is essential for collecting and analyzing the local stakeholders’ insights, worries and suggestions, which in turn enables the design of even better projects and ensures impactful initia- tives to promote local value creation. We observe that communities value our open dialogue. This became particularly evident in 2024, when heightened local demand prompted us to expand our outreach efforts. In select projects, we organized additional dialogue meetings to ensure the local community had greater opportunities to voice their opinions and receive answers to their questions. While full consensus may not always be achievable, we will always seek community consent which is our social license to operate. See the chapter on biodiversity and ecosystems to learn more about how we implement the input from local societies into the final project designs. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 6969 Sustainability | SocialSustainability | Social Management of negative impacts on local communities We acknowledge that power production presents both posi- tive and negative impacts, appealing to some stakeholder groups more than others. Navigating this balance can be challenging. Historically, many infrastructure projects have overlooked local communities’ needs. Cloudberry aims to break this trend. For example, to avoid and minimize negative impacts on local communities, we consistently use conserv- ative estimates when we calculate sound pollution around our power plants, ensuring that our operations remain well below the decibel levels considered disruptive by regulators. Moreover, our wind farms that are within the range of nearby residences are equipped with an advanced shadow detection system that continually monitors the sun’s position relative to our installations. This system automatically halts turbine oper- ation when necessary, ensuring that any shadows cast on houses or cabins do not exceed the national limits. We firmly believe that acting responsibly and implementing solutions that genuinely benefit local stakeholders is the best way of doing business. During 2024, Cloudberry updated its third-party risk analyses for all its hydropower plants. These assessments evaluate whether, and in what ways, our facilities might pose risks to external stakeholders, and if so, they determine the appro- priate mitigation measures. The evaluations consider a diverse range of groups, including various demographics within the local community as well as tourists. Potential risks examined include inadequate safety barriers, the likelihood of local residents swimming too close to the plants, and even the possibility of risk-seeking individuals intentionally kayaking over the dam. Risk-mitigating initiatives were implemented where necessary. Management of positive impacts on local communities Our purpose is to deliver renewable energy today and for generations to come. Reflecting this vision, many initiatives in 2024 were aimed at inspiring and involving younger genera- tions. Among other things, we have organized an open house at Sundby Wind Farm, conducted lectures at local schools, and welcomed students to visit our construction sites. Moving forward, we aim to expand the student visit initiatives, as we have seen its impact in sparking interest in renewables in general and science, technology, and construction specifi- cally. By providing firsthand exposure to the energy sector, we aim to inspire young people and demonstrate that a career in renewable energy is a meaningful pathway. In addition, we participate in, and support, the social arenas that the local communities value whenever possible. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 7070 Sustainability | SocialSustainability | Social Cloudberry’s projects positively impact local economies. When selecting suppliers, contractors, or entrepreneurs, we favor those closely associated with local communities to ensure our investments benefit the local society directly. For instance, key components for the Munkhyttan Project were sourced from a local foundry, emphasizing our commitment to local economic support, as well as the broader European value chain. In addi- tion, communities receive further financial benefits through our payments to landowners, tax contributions, as well as support and participation in local initiatives. These cash injections can have a significant impact on small, remote communities, sometimes making the difference between maintaining a family farm or being forced to sell. Additionally, we strive to improve local infrastructure beyond the project’s requirements to benefit the community. Often, we must enhance roadways to facilitate the transport of wind turbine components to the site. Some of these initiatives are temporary, while others are permanent. For instance, we permanently widened the curves of a local road near the Munkhyttan wind farm, enhancing road safety for the local community. The Sundby wind farm further illustrates how establishing a power plant can boost local industry. A grid connection built specifically for the plant acted as a catalyst for additional local investments by providing easier grid access for third parties. This connection spurred the construction of several warehouses and logistics facilities that now employ approximately 3 000 people, demonstrating how the plant’s presence has driven local economic growth. Lastly, increasing Nordic energy production is essential in uncertain times. Reducing our reliance on foreign energy sources is important in times where we see increasing protectionist tendencies in elections all over the world. In cold climates, such as ours, electricity equals safety. We need it to stay warm. To heat our homes. To store and prepare our food. To light up the dark winter days. Cloudberry contributes to ensuring that the Nordic countries energy security. Targets While we have not yet formalized specific targets related to local communities, this will be a core focus for 2025. Our efforts in local engagement, economic development, and infrastruc- ture improvements provide a strong foundation for setting measurable goals to further community benefits in the years to come. The way forward We will continue to expand initiatives that drive both tangible and intangible local value creation, recognizing their impor- tance in maintaining our social license to operate. By actively engaging with local communities, we can identify the best solutions for each project and ensure that our developments align with local priorities and needs. Strengthening coopera- tion with stakeholders—including landowners, municipalities, and community organizations—will remain a key focus in 2025.

The evening highlighted the need for stronger networks, increased visibility, and collective action to accelerate the shift to renewable energy while ensuring greater gender equality in the industry. One of the participants, and part of board as well as the organizing committee from Kraftkvinnene was Siren Skalstad Ellensen: -There is a great need for these types of gath- erings so women can build connections across industry segments. This fosters knowledge exchange, professional growth, and increased recruitment across the energy sector, said Siren. Building connections, driving change Apart from providing plenty of networking oppor- tunities, the speakers of the evening focused on the trilemma of achieving economic growth, addressing the climate crisis, and preserving nature. Moreover, highlighting equality in the renewable energy industry is a core element of every event with Kraftkvinnene. Charlotte Bergqvist, Chief Projects Officer at Cloudberry, and co-founders of Kraftkvinnorna (Women in Power in Sweden), was one of the speakers during the evening. She shared the story of how the organization in Sweden came about ten years ago, when a group of women decided to challenge the male dominant keynote speaker and panel line-ups in the energy sector: – On the one hand it’s inspiring to see our sister organization in Norway grow.On the otherhand, it is frustrating that they are still needed. A lot has changed for the better during these ten years, partly attributed to the work we have done. But evidently, we still have a long way to go before the energy sector is truly equal, says Charlotte. Judging from the recent growth of Kraftkvinnene, the demand for such initiatives is clear. The network of Kraftkvinnene is now exceeding 1,200 members – an indication of the growing momentum for change. Looking ahead, Kraftkvinnene will continue its efforts to give women in the industry the tools and opportunities needed to advance their careers. A key initiative is an upcoming board training program designed to increase female representa- tion in leadership positions: – It is critical that we not only bring more women into the industry, but also actively support their growth into leadership and decision-making roles, says Siren Skalstad Ellensen. Kraftkvinnene is a professional network that aims to shape and promote the renewable energy industry. Kraftkvinnene in Norway was founded in March 2019 and today has more than 1 200 members from more than 250 different companies and is constantly attracting new members. An important part of Kraftkvinnene’s purpose is to increase the recruitment of women in the renewable energy industry.

We engage with local politicians, policymakers, industry leaders, and regulatory bodies to drive clean energy legislation and create favorable market conditions for investment. Actual positive impact Through honest and open dialogue, we aim to enhance stakeholder knowledge on the energy transition, investment prerequisites for renewables, climate mitigation, and environmental protection. By fostering informed discussions, we strengthen collaboration and support for a sustainable future. Regulatory and geopolitical risks affecting supply chain stability Tariffs, regulatory shifts, and resource constraints may lead to higher costs, delays, and procurement difficulties for essential components. Risk Cloudberry closely monitors the political agenda and macroeconomic trends, and plan accordingly. For example, by prioritizing investments in Sweden and Denmark after Norway introduced the ground rent tax for onshore wind. The public’s perception of renewable energy projects Concerns over potential adverse effects on biodiversity, land use, visual or noise pollution, and inadequate local value creation may delay or even block project approvals. Moreover, even if we act responsibly, the renewable energy industry’s reputation could suffer from the irresponsible business conduct of third parties that fail to meet social or environmental standards, leading to intensified public opposition and further impeding progress. Risk Cloudberry proactively integrates community consultation & biodiversity protection to build local support and to mitigate resistance. To reduce reputational counterparty risk, we only engage with responsible business partners who align with our commitment to social and environmental integrity. Value chain Upstream Own operations Downstream Timeframe Short-term Medium-term Long-term Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 7474 Sustainability | GovernanceSustainability | Governance Policies Our approach Our business model actively contributes to climate change mitigation. However, power production can also negatively impact people and nature if not operated or constructed responsibly. It is our duty to avoid, minimize, offset, or reme- diate such effects. To do this, we have designed a corporate governance structure that promotes transparency, account- ability, and responsible decision-making, enabling us to address our IROs effectively. We have adopted a risk-based approach, prioritizing areas where the likelihood and potential consequences are highest. This strategy allows us to allocate resources efficiently, reducing unnecessary administrative burdens while maintaining robust oversight in critical areas. Our lean organizational structure enables us to grant signif- icant autonomy to our employees. While a trust-based approach carries more risk than a rigid, approval-based control system, our deliberate use of informal controls offers clear benefits. It empowers project teams to independently design and implement sustainability initiatives while being reinforced by third-party risk analyses, environmental impact assessments, and stringent external requirements. Licenses to construct and operate power plants are granted only after regulators have thoroughly scrutinized all potential negative and positive impacts of each project. As a developer working with third-party contractors, we enforce strict environmental requirements, as well as requirements regarding health and safety, working conditions, hours, pay, and related matters. For more details on these requirements and how we ensure compliance, please refer to the “Workers in the Value Chain” chapter. Although our double materiality assessment confirms a low risk of corruption, bribery, and unethical practices within our direct operations and business partnerships, we remain vigilant. We recognize that these risks may escalate further along our value chain, and we proactively monitor and strengthen our due diligence processes to mitigate potential exposures. To manage these risks we have implemented several measures. Incidents are detected through our internal control systems and whistleblowing channel, and preventive efforts are rein- forced through training programs and our Code of Conduct. Additionally, the Board of Directors actively oversees policies related to business ethics, human rights, anti-corruption, and responsible supply chain management. Choice of business partners Cloudberry conducts comprehensive evaluations of potential suppliers and subcontractors. Our process includes thorough supplier due diligence, mandatory self-assessment forms, in-depth interviews, independent research, and feedback from industry peers regarding each prospective partner. In these evaluations, we assess reputations, working conditions, health and safety systems, internal controls, and various envi- ronmental factors. These assessments are critical because our most significant risks and potential negative impacts arise from our upstream value chains. Selecting the right business partners is, therefore, the single most impactful decision we make to avoid being associated with adverse outcomes. To ensure an effective approach, we apply a materiality threshold in our supplier evaluations, focusing on those suppliers and subcontractors with the highest potential risk for negative impact, as defined by our procurement policy. This risk-based selection ensures that our due diligence efforts are concentrated where they are most needed. Suppliers must meet a minimum compliance baseline across govern- ance, environmental, and social responsibility criteria. Those identified as posing a high-risk potential—whether due to operational concerns, regulatory non-compliance, or a history of unethical practices—undergo enhanced due diligence. If a supplier falls below established thresholds in critical areas such as labor rights, environmental stewardship, or financial stability, they may be required to implement corrective action plans as a condition for maintaining or establishing a business relationship with Cloudberry Adherence to our Supplier Code of Conduct and all applicable legal requirements is non-negotiable. However, we believe that collaboration is the most effective means to mitigate negative impacts among our subcontractors and suppliers. We place high importance on partnering with organizations that share our values, are committed to health, safety, and environmental (HSE) initiatives, and are willing to acknowledge and remediate any actual negative impacts. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 7575 Sustainability | GovernanceSustainability | Governance Pre-screening suppliers is particularly crucial for our asset management division, which oversees power plant opera- tions on behalf of third-party owners. In this capacity, asset managers represent these owners when engaging with service technicians, engineers, local communities, and other stakeholders. However, since asset managers do not have the authority to modify or terminate these contractual rela- tionships , their ability to address potential upstream risks is limited. Early identification of these risks is therefore essential to prevent any adverse effects. Read more about how we work with our business partners in the chapter on workers in the value chain. Corporate culture and the code of conduct The CoC provides ethical guidelines on key governance issues including anti-corruption, conflict of interest, anti-money laun- dering, cyber security, financial integrity, trade regulations, and fair competition. It enforces a zero-tolerance policy on corrup- tion and requires employees to conduct regular compliance training. To uphold fair competition, the CoC strictly prohibits anti-com- petitive practices such as price-fixing and bid-rigging. Cybersecurity and data privacy are prioritized through regular audits and comprehensive employee training. Ethical infor- mation handling is enforced to prevent insider trading, ensure confidentiality, and promote responsible external communica- tion. Additionally, we extend our commitment to high ethical standards across our entire value chain, requiring business partners to adhere to the same governance principles. Whistleblowing and incident management Cloudberry’s whistleblowing channel is accessible to all internal and external stakeholders, offering anonymous reporting options. The whistleblowing policy is widely commu- nicated, encouraging reporting of ethical concerns. We guarantee thorough investigations without retribution. In 2024, the channel was strengthened when we assigned two board members and the Chief Sustainability Officer as recipients. If you have any concerns, suspicions or worries, we encourage you to access our whistleblower channel and report the concern. No incidents were reported in 2024. Anti-corruption and supplier management Cloudberry upholds a zero tolerance for bribery and corrup- tion, embedding stringent anti-corruption measures across all procurement and partnerships. To ensure compliance with the CoC, the company conducts regular risk assessments and enhances transparency throughout its supply chain. In 2024, an AI-assisted audit of a higher-risk supplier was conducted, reinforcing Cloudberry’s commitment to ethical sourcing. The audit did not uncover any deviations but identified five key areas for improvement.. Engaging with local and national politicians Political dynamics at both local and national levels can significantly impact each development project, introducing risks such as municipal delays and unpredictable regulatory changes. This volatility can lead to increased costs and direct project setbacks. As every phase of the development process incurs a cost, a project delay represents both a monetary loss as well as an opportunity cost. Continuous monitoring of Nordic energy politics through media, direct dialogue with politicians, industry networks, and official communications is therefore essential. This vigilance minimizes the risks of investing in areas with lower chances of success. Our mitigation efforts hinge on proactive stakeholder engage- ment. Educating local decision-makers about the true costs and benefits of local power production is one of our most important tools. Read more about the engagement initiatives in the chapter on affected communities. Procurement policy The Procurement Policy underscores Cloudberry’s commit- ment to responsible and sustainable procurement practices. The policy establishes clear guidelines for supplier selection, contracting, and cost management, ensuring that all procure- ment decisions align with Cloudberry’s ethical, environmental, and governance principles. It prioritizes fair and transparent supplier relationships, favoring those with competitive prices who demonstrate commitment to high-quality products, compliance with relevant laws, fair labor practices, and a reduced environmental footprint. Competitive tendering processes and authorization protocols further reinforce accountability in procurement activities. A strong emphasis is placed on sustainability and ethical business conduct, with internal training programs aimed at fostering awareness and adherence among employees. The policy also mandates meticulous record retention, ensuring Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 7676 Sustainability | GovernanceSustainability | Governance procurement transparency and legal compliance. Our ongoing review and improvement efforts ensure alignment with sustainability regulations and industry standards. By integrating these responsible procurement measures, we aim to create a resilient and sustainable value chain, minimizing negative environmental impacts while supporting ethical business conduct across all operations The sustainability reporting process Our sustainability reporting process includes several robust procedures to ensure accuracy and completeness. The first line of defense is the expertise of our data owners, which mini- mizes the risk of errors in quantitative data. The Sustainability Advisor collects the data, and before consolidation, each submission is evaluated against historical trends and current events. Any discrepancies are thoroughly investigated and corrected as necessary. Once consolidated, emissions are calculated using reputable emission factors, and when esti- mates are needed, we consult internal or external experts. Qualitative information is collected and verified by the project team members or asset managers best equipped with the relevant knowledge. The final report is reviewed by the Chief Sustainability Officer and the ESG Committee to ensure compliance with the applicable reporting frameworks before it is presented to the Board of Directors for approval. Actions Strengthening governance through supplier audits Cloudberry recently conducted its first-ever AI-supported supplier audit, ensuring compliance with the Transparency Act, ESG standards, and governance policies. Given limited internal resources and a tight timeline, we partnered with Sana AI to streamline the process. AI was used to develop customized audit templates, interview guides, and automated reporting, resulting in 60-70% time savings and enhanced quality assurance. The supplier audit in focus was Infrakraft (previously Entry), who was an important supplier of groundwork in the construction of Sundby wind farm. Our supplier audits are not just about compliance – they foster collaboration and continuous improve- ment both for ourselves and those taking part in the audit. The supplier audit at Infrakraft focused on critical ESG areas such as labor conditions, HSE, environmental protection, risk management, and ethical business practices. Nijaz Mehmedovic is Operations manager at Infrakraft, with a decade of experi- ence working both as a project engineer and as a key account manager for various infrastructure customers: – This audit was a good opportunity for us to demonstrate our commitment to best practices and, at the same time, learn and improve. Governance is not just about following rules; it is about setting a higher standard, says Nijaz from Infrakraft. All in all, the audit not only confirmed compliance with relevant regulations but also identified some slight improvement areas within the areas of risk management and subcontractor moni- toring. This initiative marks a milestone in leveraging AI for governance and compliance, setting the foundation for future audits and strengthening supplier collaboration.

In 2024, the Remuneration committee held seven meetings. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) committee The ESG committee plays a pivotal role in ensuring that Cloudberry’s commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles is fully integrated into its business operations and strategy.

Key responsibilities include: • Overseeing Cloudberry’s sustainability goals and climate risk policies. • Ensuring compliance with EU Taxonomy and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) frameworks. • Monitoring policies related to business ethics, human rights, anti-corruption, and responsible supply chain management. • Advising the Board on emerging ESG risks and opportuni- ties, particularly related to the renewable energy sector. The committee consists of Board members with expertise in sustainability, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance. It meets on a regular basis to review Cloudberry’s progress toward its ESG commitments and to ensure align- ment with industry best practices. In 2024, the ESG committee held seven meetings.

Cloudberry is committed to ensuring that the AGM is conducted in a manner that facilitates transparency, equal shareholder treatment, and active participation in accordance with NUES. Notice and participation Cloudberry ensures that the notice of the AGM, including the agenda and supporting documents, is made available at least 21 days in advance, in line with NUES recommendations and the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act. The notice contains sufficient and detailed information to enable shareholders to make informed decisions. Shareholders have the right to attend, speak, and vote at the AGM. Those unable to attend in person can vote by proxy or use digital voting options where applicable. Cloudberry encourages shareholders to engage actively in deci- sion-making processes and facilitates electronic participation as a part of its commitment to accessibility. Agenda and decisions The AGM is typically held by the end of April each year, where key matters are considered, including: • Approval of the annual accounts and financial statements, including the Board’s annual report. • Election of Board members and nomination committee members. • Approval of executive remuneration policies, including long- term incentive structures. • Appointment of the external auditor and approval of the auditor’s remuneration. • Other matters required by law or proposed by the Board or shareholders. Each share carries one vote, and all resolutions are passed by simple majority, unless legislation or the Company’s Articles of Association require a higher majority. Extraordinary General Meetings If the Board of Directors, the auditor, or shareholders repre- senting at least 5% of the Company’s share capital request an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), the Board must convene the meeting within a month. EGMs are called to address urgent matters that require shareholder approval between regular AGMs. Board recommendations and independent chairing All proposals presented at the AGM are supported with recommendations from the Board, ensuring shareholders have sufficient information. The AGM is chaired by an independent party, typically an external legal counsel, to ensure impartiality and adherence to governance best practices. Minutes and transparency Meeting minutes, including resolutions and voting results, are published on Cloudberry’s website immediately after the AGM, in accordance with stock exchange requirements and best governance practices. The Nomination committee The Nomination Committee is responsible for proposing candi- dates for the Board of Directors and Nomination Committee, as well as recommending Board remuneration. Operating independently, it ensures a transparent and objective process aligned with NUES. Composition and election Elected by the AGM for a two-year term, the Nomination committee consists of three independent members who are not part of the Board or executive management. Members may be re-elected, and the committee ensures broad share- holder representation. The current members are: • Morten S. Bergesen, Chair (re-elected in 2023) • Joakim Gjersøe, Member (re-elected in 2024) • Henrik Lund, Member (re-elected in 2023) Responsibilities and work process The Nomination committee’s primary responsibility is to ensure that Cloudberry’s Board of Directors has the necessary exper- tise, diversity, and independence to support the Company’s strategy and governance requirements. Each year, the committee assesses the composition of the Board to deter- mine whether changes are needed. This assessment includes Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 8686 GovernanceGovernance | The Board and governing bodiesGovernance | The Board and governing bodies reviewing the Board’s competencies, workload, and diversity and consulting with key stakeholders. To identify suitable candidates, the committee: • Engages with major shareholders to gather input on Board composition and strategic governance needs. • Holds discussions with existing Board members and CEO to evaluate competencies, workload, and future needs. • Benchmarks Board remuneration against industry standards to ensure it remains competitive. • Ensures that proposed candidates meet independence requirements and have relevant qualifications in areas such as renewable energy, corporate governance, sustainability, and finance. Since last AGM, the committee has held 11 meetings. Transparency and shareholder involvement The committee ensures transparency by publishing its recommendations well in advance of the AGM. Shareholders are invited to propose candidates and provide input on the Board’s composition. The final recommendations, including proposed Board members and remuneration levels, are submitted for shareholder approval at the AGM. External auditor Cloudberry’s external auditor, Ernst & Young AS (EY), is respon- sible for independently auditing the Company’s financial statements in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and Norwegian regulations. The audit ensures financial integrity, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder confidence. Independence and oversight The Audit Committee oversees the auditor’s work, ensuring compliance with NUES. Each year, the external auditor provides a written confirmation of independence and presents key audit findings and financial reporting risks to the Audit committee and the Board of Directors. Engagement and reporting The auditor participates in meetings of the Board of Directors and the Audit committee whenever the annual accounts are on the agenda. During these meetings, the auditor presents the main features of the plan and work performed related to the audit, reports on the annual accounts and any significant changes in the Company’s accounting principles and material estimated accounting figures. Additionally, the auditor highlights any significant matters where there has been disa- greement between the auditor and the Company’s executive management. The auditor has not reported any such disa- greements. Furthermore, the Board of Directors conducts an annual review of the Company’s internal control procedures in collab- oration with the auditor. This review includes an assessment of identified weaknesses and recommendations for improve- ment. The auditor also meets with the Board of Directors without management present to discuss governance-related concerns. In 2024, the external auditor attended four meetings with the Audit committee and one meeting with the Board of Directors. Audit and non-audit services To protect independence, Cloudberry follows a pre-approval policy for non-audit services and discloses auditor fees in its annual report. The remuneration to the auditor is subject to approval by the annual General Meeting. The Audit committee monitors compliance with EU regulations on auditor rotation, assessing the auditor’s performance and recommending changes when necessary.

Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 9999 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements Note 2 General accounting policies and principles Basis for preparation The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations from International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted by the EU. The Group’s consolidated financial statement is prepared on a going concern basis. These consolidated financial statements for the full year 2024 have been approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on 24 March 2025 and are subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting on 23 April 2025. The functional currency of the parent company Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA is Norwegian krone (NOK) and the consolidated financial accounts are presented in Norwegian Krone (NOK). As a result of rounding adjustments, amounts and percentages may not add up to the total. Basis for measurement The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except that certain financial instruments and derivatives are recognised at fair value, please see Note 7 Key risks and financial instruments. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given when acquiring assets and services. Basis and principles for consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial state- ments of the parent company Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA and its subsidiaries, see Note 24 List of subsidiaries and equity accounted companies. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. Upon the acquisition of new entities, development or producing projects, single or groups, management assess whether the acqui- sition constitutes a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3, or whether it is considered to be an asset acquisition, see Note 5 Business combinations and Note 6 Acquisitions and disposal of assets and operations. Foreign currency translation The functional currency of the companies in the Group is determined based on the nature of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the spot rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to profit or loss with the exception of net investments in foreign operations, where currency differences are taken to other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. Principles of cash flow statement The cash flow statement has been prepared using the indirect method. Operating activities: changes in working capital comprise of current interest-free receivables and current interest-free liabilities. Effects related to capital expenditures, inventory investments, unrealised changes or reclassifications are not included in changes in working capital. Investing activities: acquisition/divestment of shares includes cash and cash equivalents in the investee that are recognised/divested at the transaction date. Hence, this is presented net together with the cash consideration paid or received. Capitalized costs related to project inventory are presented together with project investments. Financing activities: interest payments from interest rate derivatives, which are used to manage the Group’s debt portfolio, are presented as a part of interests paid. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 100100 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements Note 3 Key accounting estimates and judgements Significant estimates The most critical assumptions used by management are the long- term price forecast for power and the related market developments together with the applied weighted average cost of capital (WACC) in discounted cash flow (DCF) models. The uncertainty related to the long-term price forecast estimate is primarily associated with the Commercial segment, while WACC estimates are also relevant for Asset Management. These assumptions are critical input for manage- ment related to financial statement processes such as: • Impairment testing of goodwill, PPE and investment in associates and JV’s. See Note 15 Goodwill and impairment. • Allocation of fair value in business combinations, transactions related to PPE, investment in associates and JV’s , goodwill and inventory. In 2024, there have been no significant business combinations. However, at the end of 2024 a significant business combination in Denmark was signed, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. Allocation of fair value in this transaction will include significant estimates. For further details, refer to Note 5. Long term price forecast for power Management relies on two independent providers, Volue and Thema, for long-term power price forecasts. Until 2022, only Volue was used, however, following the acquisition of the Odin portfolio in 2023, management introduced a second provider to ensure a more balanced and representative outlook. Each provider develops its own base case for future power prices, and to maintain objectivity, we use the average of both forecasts. Significant variations exist between individual power price forecasts, making an averaging approach the most appropriate methodology. This method reflects a broader market perspective while mitigating potential biases in any single forecast. For decision-making, the base cases of Volue and Thema are averaged to derive a consolidated power price curve, benefiting from two independent external sources. This approach ensures an impartial and consistent basis for estimating long-term power prices. Additionally, management follows a structured policy of relying on independent third-party power curves. The power price forecast is continuously reviewed and updated based on the latest available data. The selection of external providers is also subject to ongoing assessment. Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is a significant estimate used by management to prepare the financial statements, particularly in the valuation of assets and impairment testing. Cloudberry determines WACC based on externally observed market indicators, ensuring an unbiased and market-reflective estimate. Cost of debt The cost of debt is calculated using the market risk-free rate appli- cable to the respective country of investment, with an observed market-based margin added. This approach ensures that the debt cost reflects prevailing financial conditions in the relevant jurisdiction. Cost of equity The cost of equity is derived using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), which incorporates the: • Risk-free rate relevant to each region • Market risk premium applicable to the investment environment • Equity beta specific to Cloudberry’s business The equity beta is determined by using peer group data from publicly listed renewable energy companies. Initially, the unlevered beta is obtained from the peer group and subsequently re-levered to reflect the financial leverage ratio applicable to the specific investment. Periodic updates and application To maintain accuracy, WACC is updated periodically to align with market conditions at the time it is used as an input in financial reporting. Significant judgements The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to exercise significant judgment in selecting and applying accounting policies in various key areas. For certain transac- tions, the application of these policies may have a material impact on the financial statements. Key areas where significant judgment is applied include: • Assessment of business combination or asset acquisition note 5, 6 and 14 • Assessment of control over investments note 5 • Asset useful life and annual production volumes note 5 and 15 • Classification of developing projects note 14 and 17 • Assessment of impairment indicators note 15 Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 101101 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements Note 4 Operating segments Accounting principles In 2024, Cloudberry, as part of the integration of Captiva, re-named three of its four segments, Projects (previously Development), Commercial (previously Production) and Asset Management (previ- ously Operations), while the Corporate segment name remained unchanged. The scope, revenue and cost streams of the segments are comparable to the previous segments. The Group manages and reports its operations in four operating segments; • Projects is a green-field developer of hydro, wind and solar projects and has a solid track record of organic, in-house developments of wind and hydropower assets in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. • Commercial is an active owner of renewable power assets in the Nordics, and in charge of M&A and partnerships in Cloudberry. • Asset Management operates external customers’ and Cloudberry’s renewable assets. • Corporate is a cost-efficient segment that performs management tasks for the Group like financing, marketing, reporting and other corporate activities. The Board of Directors is the Group’s chief operating decision-maker. The segments are determined based on the differences in the nature of their operations. The main performance indicator for segment reporting is EBITDA. The Group’s segment financials are reported on a proportionate 1 basis, a standard practice in the renewable energy market where assets are often partially owned. This approach helps manage risks, diversify investments, and address the industry’s capital-intensive nature. As such the chief operating decision maker utilises this reporting basis to understand the Group’s investment exposure by considering its proportionate share in different assets or companies. The key differences between the proportionate and the consolidated IFRS financials are that all entities are included with the respective ownership share in each accounting line by the Group. Associated companies and joint ventures are included in the financial accounting lines, the profit or loss statement and share of assets and net debt, with the respective proportionate ownership share. While in the consolidated financials associated companies and joint ventures are consolidated with the equity method. Subsidiaries that have non-con- trolling interests are in the proportionate reporting presented with only the Group’s ownership share, while in the consolidated financials they are included with the share of the unowned result allocated to minority interest. Projects The Projects segment is responsible for the development, permitting, procurement, and construction of hydro, wind and solar projects across the regions. The segment has a significant development portfolio with renewable assets in the Nordics. Cloudberry manages projects from the early stages of planning until they receive construc- tion permits, ensuring a seamless transition from development to execution. A key priority for Cloudberry is maintaining close dialogue with local communities, and public and private landowners to secure land access, streamline permitting processes, and mitigate environ- mental impacts. Commercial The Commercial segment owns and manages renewable power assets with long-term cash flows in the Nordics. Revenues primarily come from power production, which is continuously sold through bilat- eral agreements or on the spot market via Nordpool. The segment is responsible for optimizing the performance of Cloudberry’s oper- ational assets while also driving strategic growth through mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships. The Commercial segment is also the local manager and service provider for Forte Energy Norway AS, delivering management services to its portfolio of power plants (see Note 19 Investments in associated companies and joint ventures). In 2024, Cloudberry strengthened this proportionate segment by increasing its ownership to 49.99% stake in Forte Energy Norway AS. Additionally, the integration of newly completed assets from the Projects segment, the Munkhyttan and Sundby wind farms, further expanded production capacity and enhanced revenue streams. Asset Management (Captiva) The Asset Management segment is responsible for operation of renewable energy assets, including both Cloudberry-owned projects and external clients’ assets. The segment includes the activities organized in the Captiva Group. Captiva is an asset manager and operator of renewable power assets in the Nordics, with a history spanning over 15 years. Since its acquisition by Cloudberry, Captiva has added significant value to Cloudberry’s hydro and wind develop- ment, procurement, and construction, while also establishing itself as a high-quality asset manager for power plants in the Nordic region. The segment reporting for 2024 includes a 100% ownership of the Captiva Group. 1 See APM section for proportionate segment reporting Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 102102 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements Corporate The Corporate segment consists of corporate services, group management, and finance, ensuring efficient capital allocation and strategic oversight across Group. It is responsible for managing the Group’s balance sheet, capital needs, and investment decisions, including overseeing M&A activities with input from relevant segments. The segment also handles all financial reporting and communication with external stakeholders, ensuring transparency and compliance with regulatory requirements. The corporate management aims to remain a cost-effective, agile and dynamic team that supports Cloudberry’s growth. By year end, there were seven employees in the corporate segment. Proportionate financials The table shows the segment reporting for 2024 (with reconciliation to reported Group consolidated IFRS) and with comparable figures for 2023 in lower table.

Upon acquisition, a purchase price allocation (PPA) is performed, valuing assets and liabilities at their fair value. Any excess of the acquisition cost (including non-controlling interests) over the fair value of identifiable net assets is recognized as goodwill. Adjustments to fair value and goodwill may be made within 12 months if new information arises about conditions existing at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs, except those related to debt or equity issuance, are expensed as incurred. Significant estimates The purchase price allocation relies on estimates of fair value, for renewable power projects (development or producing) this is primarily based on discounted cash flow (DCF) models. Key assumptions include: • Future cash flow projections, which depend on long-term power price curves • Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) These estimates influence the allocation of fair value between property, plant, and equipment (PPE), investments in associates, and joint ventures (JVs). Further details on estimation methodologies are provided in Note 3 Key accounting estimates and judgements Significant judgements Management exercises significant judgment in determining whether an acquisition qualifies as a business combination (under IFRS 3) or an asset acquisition (IAS 2, IAS 16, or IAS 38). • Business combinations typically involve acquisitions of operating assets, organizations with key personnel, business processes, and clearly defined inputs and outputs. • Asset acquisitions generally involve single development projects, a ready-to-construct power plant, or assets without structured busi- ness operations. In cases of partial ownership, judgment is used to assess whether Cloudberry: • Holds control (subsidiary classification) • Shares joint control or significant influence (JV or associate classifi- cation) The purchase price allocation is by nature judgemental as it includes allocation of the purchase price to the underlying assets and liabilities on their underlying estimated fair value. Significant management judgement is applied in valuation methods, the useful life of assets and other estimates. Business combinations in 2024 There have not been any transactions completed in 2024 that have been assessed as a business combination. Please refer to Note 6 for information about other acquisitions during 2024. Acquisition agreement with Skovgaard On 5 December 2024 Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire selected assets from Skovgaard for an estimated total equity consideration of DKK 662m. The transaction includes full ownership of the Odin portfolio (acquired in May 2023, see below information about business combinations in 2023), 80% ownership in the Svåheia wind farm in NO-2. Additionally, the deal includes development projects and a experienced local asset management team and development team, strengthening our operational capabilities in the region. The transaction adds 160 GWh of annual production capacity net to Cloudberry. Cloudberry will finance the transaction by utilizing approximately DKK 82m of the existing cash balance and DKK 253m of the existing debt facility. The remaining part of the purchase price, estimated to DKK 319m, will be settled through the issue of approximately 29.5 million shares in Cloudberry. The consideration shares will be issued to Skovgaard at an agreed subscription price of NOK 17.0 per share. The transaction and subscription price have been determined based on funda- mental third-party assessments prepared by reputable audit firms. NOK 17.0 per share represents a ~52% premium to the share price when the transaction was announced. Further information about the transaction scope can be found in the press release. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2025, but after the reporting date of the annual report for 2024, see also Note 25. Upon completion, the associated assets and liabilities will be incorporated into the Group’s financial reporting. The prepa- ration of the purchase price allocation will start when the closing accounts are ready. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 104104 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements In connection with the signing of the agreement with Skovgaard, management has exercised significant judgment in assessing the transfer of control and determining the transaction date. Management has concluded that Cloudberry will gain control only upon closing due to: • Regulatory and contractual conditions required for completion • Ongoing independence of the target entities until restructuring is finalized • Share transfer and payment settlement occurring at closing As a result, although the acquisition was signed in December 2024, the financial consolidation will commence after closing once control is formally transferred, expected by the end of the first quarter of 2025. Business combinations in 2023 Acquisition of 80% of the Odin Portfolio / Odin Group On 31 May 2023, Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA completed the acquisi- tion of an 80% stake in Odin Energy Holding P/S, a portfolio company primarily comprising producing wind power assets located in Denmark (DK1 price area) and Sweden. The transaction was structured as a business combination under IFRS 3 and has been fully consolidated in Cloudberry’s financial statements from the acquisition date The Odin portfolio represents a high-quality asset base of 51 opera- tional wind turbines with an estimated annual production of 311 GWh net to Cloudberry. Additionally, Cloudberry secured strategic partner- ships for asset management and future development opportunities. Purchase price allocation (PPA) The total consideration for the acquisition was DKK 1 278 million (~NOK 2 061 million), settled through: • DKK 1 265 million in cash • DKK 13 million assumed as debt takeover The final purchase price allocation included the following key elements: • Property, plant, and equipment (PPE): NOK 1 546 million • Investment in associates and JVs: NOK 234 million • Intangible assets: NOK 7 million • Other short-term assets & liabilities: NOK 68 million and NOK -60 million, respectively • Goodwill: NOK 95 million (attributable to the control premium, syner- gies, and market positioning) In the case of the Odin acquisition, Cloudberry has exercised signifi- cant judgment in assessing control over the Odin portfolio. Cloudberry holds a majority shareholding (80% voting rights), appoints the majority of the Board of Directors, including the chair position, and comprises the executive management and key decision-making roles. This structure provides Cloudberry with the ability to direct the rele- vant activities of Odin, thereby establishing control. Additionally, the reserved matters in the shareholder agreement have been assessed and found to align with the transaction’s intent, without granting Skovgaard control. Please refer to Note 5 Business combinations in the annual report for 2023 for further details. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 105105 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements Note 6 Acquisitions and disposal of assets and operations Acquisition of Forte On 28 June, Cloudberry entered into a share sale and purchase agreement to acquire an additional 15.99% of the shares in Forte Energy Norway AS (Forte). This acquisition increased Cloudberry’s ownership in Forte to 49.99%, enhancing its proportionate hydropower production from the portfolio by 41 GWh to a total of 127 GWh. The total purchase price for the shares was NOK 165m and was settled with cash. As part of this year’s assessment in terms of increase of ownership, management has evaluated the Forte investment and confirmed that there is no joint control. Consequently, it remains classified as an investment in an associated company and is equity accounted for in the Group’s consolidated accounts. Please see Note 16 for further information about the investment and accounting. Acquisition of Øvre Kvemma Kraftverk AS On 5 July, Cloudberry acquired 100% of the shares in Øvre Kvemma Kraftverk AS (Øvre Kvemma) from NGK Utbygging AS. Øvre Kvemma is a hydropower plant with an estimated total annual production capacity of 20 GWh and the share purchase agreement was signed in February 2022 prior to construction. The purchase price for the power plant was approximately NOK 124 million, of which NOK 9m was settlement for the shares and NOK 115m was settlement for debt. Of the total purchase price NOK 13m had already been paid into an escrow account included under other current assets. The transaction was assessed and accounted as an asset acquisition and the entity was consolidated in the Group accounts from the time om the transaction. Sale of three hydropower plants: Usma, Bjørgelva and Finnesetbekken On 28 June, Cloudberry sold 100% of the shares in Usma Kraft AS, Bjørgelva Kraft AS, and Finnesetbekken Kraftverk AS to Cadre AS for NOK 320.5m on a debt- and cash-free basis. The three hydropower plants, located in NO-3 and NO-4, have a combined annual production of just under 36 GWh. The total settlement for the sale of shares was NOK 191m, and the settlement of internal long-term debt was NOK 138m. Total cash received was NOK 329m and the total cash in the disposed compa- nies was NOK 7m. At the time of the sale, Cloudberry settled the related bank debt to SR bank with a total of NOK 110m. The net cash to Cloudberry from the transaction was NOK 210m, with a recognized gain of NOK 109m, recorded as other income. All related assets and liabilities were deconsolidated as of 28 June, and the assets were reported under the Commercial segment. Deconsolidation of Kraftanmelding AS and disposal of intangible assets On 30 August, Captiva transferred the Captiva portal and it’s 33.33% stake in Proxima Hydrotech AS to Kraftanmelding AS as part of its digital business restructuring. The transactions included: • A NOK 10m consideration for business transfer, including three employees and intangible assets, settled with a four-year seller credit. • The sale of Proxima Hydrotech shares to Kraftanmelding AS for NOK 5m, also settled with a seller credit. • A NOK 22m capital increase in Kraftanmelding AS, reducing Captiva’s ownership from 50.05% to 31.57%, based on a pre-money valuation of NOK 40m (NOK 20m representing Captiva’s shares). Cloudberry recorded a NOK 8.3m gain, presented as other income. Following the transaction, ownership in Kraftanmelding was allocated to Elmera (34%), Cloudberry (32%), Småkraft (8%), and employees/ founders (27%). With Cloudberry’s ownership reduced, Kraftanmelding was deconsolidated as of 30 August, and its 31.57% stake is now equity accounted under the Asset Management segment. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 106106 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements Financial risk management Note 7 Risk management and financial instruments The Group is exposed to various risks arising from its business activi- ties and utilizes financial instruments to manage these exposures. This note, together with Note 8 Hedge activities and derivatives, outlines key risk categories and the Group’s risk management strategies. The primary risk categories include: • Market risk • Operational risk • ESG risk • Financial risk The Board of Directors has approved guidelines for risk management and the strategic use of financial instruments to mitigate these risks. The Group’s risk management framework aims to reduce potential adverse impacts on financial performance. Derivative financial instru- ments are used to hedge specific risk exposures. For a detailed overview of ESG risk management, refer to the Sustainability statements in this report. 7.1 Market risks Electricity price risk The profitability of the Group’s power plants depends on production volume and electricity prices. A significant portion of electricity sales is subject to price risk, as sales are made at spot market rates. Unless secured through fixed-term contracts, the Group’s production is exposed to market price volatility. Electricity prices are influenced by various factors, including substitute commodity prices (e.g., oil, gas, and coal), meteorological conditions, CO 2 pricing, and broader supply and demand dynamics. Additionally, large-scale climate-related subsidy schemes may exert downward pressure on electricity prices, particularly affecting non-subsidized assets. The Group identifies subsidized offshore wind power as a key competitive challenge. Given that electricity sales represent a material portion of revenue, fluctuations in electricity prices may adversely impact revenue, profit- ability, and asset valuations. To mitigate price risk, the Group employs hedging strategies, including exchange-traded electricity derivatives (Nord Pool/Nasdaq OMX Commodities) and bilateral contracts with industry counterparties. Hedging strategies are continuously assessed in response to market conditions, hydrological balance, and other relevant factors. For further details on hedging activities and outstanding derivative contracts, refer to Note 8 Hedge activeties and derivatives. Sensitivity analysis The table below presents a sensitivity analysis based on the Group’s electricity derivatives position as of 31 December 2024, illustrating the potential impact on the income statement and equity. The analysis considers only market risks related to derivatives, excluding the effects of underlying physical electricity sales and purchases. The sensitivity analysis assumes a ±10% change in forward electricity prices, applied uniformly over the period covered by the Group’s power purchase agreements (PPAs), with all other variables held constant. Forward price quotations are classified as a significant estimate; for further details, refer to Note 3 Key accounting estimates and judgements. The selected sensitivity range reflects manage- ment’s assessment of a reasonably possible change in market prices.

Inflation risk While inflation does not directly impact the Group’s financial posi- tion, it may adversely affect projects under development, which are accounted for as inventory. The Group’s development projects are capital-intensive, and rising commodity prices increase capital expenditures, particularly for construction and turbine costs. High inflation may erode the present value of expected cash flows from development projects relative to initial investment costs. Additionally, inflation typically leads to higher short- and long-term interest rates, increasing financing costs for these projects. These factors and associated uncertainties may reduce expected profit- ability, potentially leading to project postponements, abandonment, and impairment losses. However, inflationary pressures are often driven by higher energy and power prices, which may partially offset these risks by supporting electricity price levels. Political and regulatory risk The power industry is highly regulated and subject to political and tax risks. Regulatory frameworks evolve over time, creating uncertainty for investments in the renewable energy and infrastructure sectors in the Nordic region. Changes in tax laws in any jurisdiction where the Group operates may have a material adverse effect on the Group. The Group is subject to prevailing tax laws, treaties, and regulations, as well as their interpre- tation and enforcement by relevant authorities. Income tax expenses are determined based on the Group’s interpretation of prevailing tax laws at the time of recognition. Any changes in legislation or discrep- ancies between the Group’s interpretation and that of tax authorities could materially impact the Group’s business, financial performance, and financial position. Guarantee of Origin scheme - political risk The Guarantee of Origin (GO) scheme is subject to political and regulatory risk. Under EU legislation, power plants in the European Economic Area (EEA) may receive approval for GOs for five-year periods. Energy suppliers can purchase these certificates from producers to verify that the supplied electricity originates from renew- able sources. However, the long-term continuity and regulatory framework governing the scheme remain uncertain, posing potential risks to market dynamics and the valuation of renewable energy assets. Renewable energy sector developement risk The renewable energy sector remains in a dynamic development phase. Breakthroughs in other renewable energy technologies may reduce governmental support for onshore wind and hydropower expansion, potentially affecting the Group’s future investment oppor- tunities and the residual value of its power plants. Similarly, advancements in non-renewable or currently unknown energy technologies could alter the competitive landscape. These uncertainties in renewable sector development and emerging energy technologies pose risks that may adversely impact the Group’s busi- ness strategy and growth prospects. Regulatory risk - changes in laws and regulations Changes in laws and regulations may impact the Group’s operations by increasing operating and compliance costs, reducing demand for its services, or requiring costly modifications to its business model. In some cases, regulatory changes could limit the Group’s ability to operate in certain markets. For certain power plants, regulatory requirements mandate the payment of license fees or the transfer of concessionary power to municipalities, counties, or the state. These power plants are often required to deliver 10–15% of their electricity production as conces- sionary power, which must be sold at an expected “cost price.” Such regulatory changes could negatively affect the Group’s profitability . Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 108108 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements 7.2 Operational risks Technical complexity of power plants Investments in power generation and energy infrastructure involve inherent technical and operational risks. To mitigate these risks, the Group prioritizes power plants with high technical standards and proven technologies supplied by reputable manufacturers. This approach aims to minimize technical failures, facilitate timely and cost-effective repairs, and secure favorable insurance terms. Despite these measures, unforeseen technical issues may still arise, potentially leading to production disruptions or costly reinvestments, which could negatively impact the Group’s profitability and financial position. Transmission and distribution costs Increases in charges for connecting to and utilizing electricity transmission and distribution networks, as well as costs related to balancing electricity supply and demand, may lead to higher operating expenses. Additionally, restrictions on available network capacity for the Group’s power plants could limit revenue potential and constrain growth opportunities. Development projects Development projects are subject to various risks, particularly in achieving a final investment decision. The Group must successfully negotiate and finalize agreements for construction, maintenance, and operations, secure financing, obtain necessary permits, and ensure adequate grid capacity. Failure to advance a project to completion may result in the write-off of capitalized development costs, potentially impacting the Group’s financial position. Construction projects Projects under construction are subject to risks of cost overruns and delays. Each construction project presents unique challenges, and various factors may impact project timelines and budgets. In renewable energy projects—such as wind, hydro, solar, and storage—issues related to foundations or access roads can cause delays. Adverse weather conditions, such as heavy winds or rainfall, may disrupt installations. Additionally, disruptions in the global supply chain can delay critical components, increase costs, and lead to project overruns. 7.3 ESG risks For a more detailed description of the financial risks and opportunities related to each of our material sustainability topics, please refer to the sustainability statements in this report. Risks related to new sustainability regulations Industries worldwide are facing increasingly stringent sustainability regulations, with further developments expected in the coming years. These regulatory changes reflect the growing demand from financial markets, creditors, and investors for consistent, comparable, and high-quality information on the environmental and climate-related impacts of businesses. The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into effect in 2023, with its requirements applying to the first group of companies starting from the 2024 finan- cial year. Cloudberry has been preparing to comply with the CSRD reporting obligations for the 2025 financial year. Additionally, the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) has developed recommendations to enhance and standardize climate-related financial reporting, improving market transparency and stability. Similarly, the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) has introduced a framework to assess nature-related risks. Furthermore, compliance with the EU Taxonomy, a classification system designed to direct and scale up investments in sustainable activities, is becoming increasingly essential for companies seeking to align with evolving sustainability standards Climate change related risks Climate change presents both risks and opportunities for the Group. While mitigation efforts create business prospects in renewable energy, changing climate patterns also introduce significant opera- tional challenges. Shifts in precipitation patterns may affect the reliability of hydropower generation, making it less predictable than in the past. Additionally, the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events pose physical risks to infrastructure and assets. The Group integrates climate risk assessment into its broader risk management framework, ensuring that climate-related risks and opportunities are evaluated through a double materiality assessment. This assessment considers impacts from short-, medium-, and long- term strategic and financial perspectives. To quantify potential exposures, threshold values have been estab- lished for financial impacts, assessing both cost implications and frequency. The financial impact is determined by analyzing direct costs and projected recurrence, using structured intervals to classify risk levels. Financial impact Low Medium High MNOK <25 25–100 >100 Frequency <0-1 years 1-5 years >5 years Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 109109 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements 7.4 Financial risks The Group’s financial risk management aims to maintain a balanced risk profile that ensures flexibility while optimizing returns on assets. Risk management is centrally coordinated at the Group level, with policies and strategies for financial instruments and risk mitigation approved by the Board of Directors. To manage exposure to specific financial risks, the Group utilizes derivatives, including interest rate swaps, power purchase agree- ments, and currency forward contracts. To reduce profit or loss volatility, the Group applies hedge accounting where applicable. For further details, refer to Note 8 Hedge activities and derivatives. Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through its funding and cash management activities. The Group’s assets are primarily financed with long-term debt at floating interest rates, making the Group susceptible to market rate fluctuations. An increase in interest rates would result in higher financing costs and interest payments, reducing profitability. Additionally, interest rate changes affect the fair value of interest rate derivatives (fair value risk). To mitigate interest rate risk while optimizing borrowing costs, the Group employs long-term fixed-rate financing or floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Debt denominated in EUR, NOK, and partially in DKK has been hedged to fixed rates for periods exceeding 10 years. Consequently, the Group’s profit or loss and future cash flows related to existing debt have limited sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. Interest rate sensitivity analysis The table below illustrates the potential impact of a reasonably possible change in interest rates on financial assets and liabilities, after the application of hedge accounting. With all other variables held constant, the effect on the Group’s profit before income tax and equity is primarily driven by changes in floating rate borrowings: 1%-point increase in floating interest rate NOK million 2024 2023 Effect on profit before income tax 4 1 Effect on equity 100 86 1%-point decrease in floating interest rate NOK million 2024 2023 Effect on profit before income tax (4) (1) Effect on equity (92) (79) Currency risk The Group presents its financial statements in NOK but is exposed to currency risk due to its international operations and transactions. Norwegian power companies sell electricity through Nord Pool, where EUR is the official trading currency. The Group’s Danish and Swedish investment portfolios report in DKK/EUR/SEK. The Group’s invest- ments in Odal Vind AS and Forte Energy Norway AS are fully exposed to EUR. As a result, fluctuations in exchange rates between NOK, SEK, DKK, and EUR could materially impact the Group’s business, financial results, cash flows, and financial position. Significant contractual cash flow obligations, particularly for invest- ments and capital expenditures on power plants under construction, are primarily in EUR (e.g., for turbine suppliers) or in the local currency of the investment/project. To mitigate currency risk, the Group uses currency forward contracts to match contractual cash outflows or engages in currency purchases/swaps to minimize FX rate fluctua- tions’ impact on project profitability. Additionally, the Group maintains deposits in local currencies (NOK, SEK, DKK, and EUR) to align with future obligations and may enter future currency swap contracts for larger commitments to further limit exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. Currency sensitivity analysis The Group has conducted a sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of reasonably possible exchange rate fluctuations on its financial instruments. The analysis focuses on the Group’s main currency exposures: SEK, DKK, and EUR. The table below presents the potential impact of exchange rate changes on the Group’s consolidated financial assets and liabilities. Currency gains and losses on monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement.

Management prepares quarterly cash flow forecasts covering at least 24 months to ensure sufficient liquidity. Before entering into business agreements and contracts, liquidity require- ments are assessed to ensure adequate funding is in place. As of 31 December 2024, the Group has total contractual commit- ments related to the construction of Munkhyttan and Sundby of approximately EUR 3.5 million, in addition to current payables recog- nized in the balance sheet. This amount excludes regular employee expenses and other day-to-day operating costs. For further details, refer to Note 14 Property, plant and equipment and Note 21 Provisions, guarantees and other contractual obligations. Credit risk The Group is exposed to credit risk from various counterparties, including off-take partners purchasing electricity, suppliers requiring prepayments, banks providing financing and guarantees, insurance companies covering asset-related risks, and other third parties with contractual obligations, such as warranties under share purchase agreements. The Group’s primary credit risks arise from deposits with financial institutions and other short-term receivables. To mitigate this risk, counterparties for derivative contracts and financial deposits are limited to institutions with high creditworthiness. The Group’s trade receivables have historically had low credit risk, with all receivables over recent years collected in full and on time. As of year-end, management has assessed the credit risk on trade receivables as insignificant, and they are therefore recognized at face value in the financial statements.

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and other financial receivables are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these assets is recognized in financial income using the effective interest method. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach under IFRS 9 for impairment assessment, recognizing expected credit losses as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments with a positive fair value are recog- nized as financial assets and initially measured at fair value, with transaction costs expensed in profit or loss. The recognition of subse- quent fair value changes depends on whether the derivatives are designated as hedging instruments: • Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments – Fair value gains or losses are recognized in financial income or financial expenses through profit or loss. • Derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge relationship – Fair value gains or losses are recognized through OCI as net movements in cash flow hedges. Refer to Note 8 Hedge activities and derivatives for further details on the Group’s hedging activities. Financial assets are derecognized on the trade date when the Group commits to sell the asset. Any resulting gains or losses are recognized directly in profit or loss under other gains/(losses), alongside foreign exchange gains and losses. Financial liabilities The Group classifies its financial liabilities into the following measure- ment categories: • Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost • Financial liabilities measured at fair value (either through profit or loss or through other comprehensive income (OCI)) All financial liabilities, except for derivative liabilities, are initially recog- nized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expenses on these liabil- ities are recognized in financial expenses in the income statement, except for borrowing costs directly attributable to project develop- ment, which are capitalized as part of the project asset cost. Derivative financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized as follows: • Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments – Fair value changes are recognized through profit or loss. • Derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge relationship – Fair value changes are recorded through OCI. For further details on hedging activities, refer to Note 8 Hedge activities and derivatives. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation is discharged, canceled, or expires. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost are considered to approximate their fair values .

The Group primarily utilizes interest rate swaps, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and currency forward contracts as derivative financial instruments. Valuation techniques, inputs, and processes All derivative financial instruments held at the reporting date derive their fair value primarily from market-related inputs and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy. The valua- tion methodologies applied include: • Interest rate swaps – Fair value is determined by discounting esti- mated future cash flows using observable yield curves, as provided by external financial institutions. • Power purchase agreements (PPAs) – Fair value is measured as the present value of the net difference between forward energy prices at contract inception and market prices at the valuation date, multiplied by the contracted megawatt-hour volumes. Changes in fair value reflect daily fluctuations in market prices and contract volumes. Certain PPAs entered into by the Group are designated for delivering electricity in line with Cloudberry’s expected sales commitments under fixed-price and fixed-volume contracts. These agreements qualify for the own use exemption and are accounted for under IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers, rather than as financial instruments under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value is presented below. The Group does not have any assets or liabilities measured at level 1 or 3.

The fair value movement per 31 December 2024 is NOK -9m and is measured within level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy. There were no transfers between fair-value hierarchy levels as of 31 December 2024 (or the prior year). The Group’s interest rate derivatives and a PPA agreement are held for hedging purposes, see Note 8 Hedge activities and derivatives for further detail. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 115115 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements Note 8 Hedge activities and derivatives Accounting principle The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge market and financial risks, primarily related to interest rate fluctuations, electricity price movements, and foreign currency exchange rates. • Interest rate exposure – Managed through interest rate swaps • Electricity price risk – Mitigated using power purchase agreements (PPAs) • Foreign currency risk – Hedged with foreign currency forward swaps • Hedging instruments held by the Group are classified as either: • Designated hedging instruments in a hedge accounting rela- tionship • Hedging instruments not designated in a hedge accounting rela- tionship At the inception of a hedge, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship, including the risk management objective and strategy. Hedging instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for under the Group’s cash flow hedges policy, as described below. Cash flow hedge accounting When a derivative financial instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of changes in its fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) and accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. Any ineffective portion of the fair value change is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Upon realization of the underlying hedged transaction, the cumulative amount in the cash flow hedge reserve is reclassified to the income statement. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires, is terminated, exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Interest rate swaps The Group utilizes interest rate swaps to reduce cash flow volatility arising from interest rate fluctuations by converting floating-rate debt related to power plants into fixed-rate debt (see Note 20 Interest-bearing debt and debt facilities). These swaps hedge cash flow variability linked to movements in three-month benchmark rates (e.g., NIBOR, EURIBOR, CIBOR), ensuring alignment between derivative results and hedged interest payments. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied as the swaps cover interest rate payments associated with existing debt facilities with a high degree of probability. The derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet, and their effectiveness is monitored quarterly. Hedge ineffec- tiveness may arise due to changes in counterparty credit risk. Power purchase agreements (PPAs) To mitigate electricity price fluctuations, the Group enters into long- term, fixed-price PPAs, securing future power sales at predetermined prices per megawatt-hour. The contracted volumes typically repre- sent a small percentage of total production, minimizing shortfall risk while providing revenue stability. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied as the PPAs hedge are highly probable future sales transactions. The derivatives are carried on the balance sheet, with their effectiveness monitored quarterly in relation to production volume fluctuations Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 116116 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements As of 31 December 2024, the Group had the below interest rate swaps and PPAs which it accounts for as hedging instruments designated in a hedge accounting relationship: Risk and hedging instruments Weighted Carrying amount of the Maturity average Nominal hedging instruments 3 (months) rate/price 1 amount 2 Assets Liabilities Cash flow hedges Interest rate risk – borrowings Interest rate swap (IRS) – NOK³ 65-149 1.83% 220 23 (75) Interest rate swap (IRS) – EUR 79-322 2.65% 53 Interest rate swap (IRS) – DKK 47-104 3.14% 437 Commodity price risk – Forecast transactions Fixed price PPA³ 36 133 15 11 - 1 The weighted average prices for commodity hedges are presented as the price per megawatt hour for electricity (EUR/MWh) 2 Nominal amount is the nominal value in currency mNOK. 3 Carrying amount of all hedging instruments, assets and liabilities, is converted and presented in mNOK using the exchange rate at year end. Changes in the fair value of one interest rate derivatives with hedge ineffectiveness have been accounted for through profit and loss. As of 31 December 2024, the movement in the cash flow hedge reserve related to the interest rate swap for the equity-accounted entity Forte amounted to NOK -9m, with a related tax effect of NOK 2m recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI).

Consequently, the Group decided to close the hedge, and the cumulative fair value change previously recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) was reclassified to profit or loss. Upon closing the hedge, the Group realized a fair value gain of NOK 12m, which was recognized as financial income in the income statement as of 31 December 2024.

Revenue The Group generates revenue from three of its four segments that develop (Projects), own (Commercial) and operate (Asset Management) hydropower plants and wind farms in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Revenue streams from the three revenue-generating segments are categorized as follows: 1. Power related products - Sale of electricity in the spot market and power purchase contracts (PPA’s) including electricity certificates and guarantees of origin. 2. Asset management - Commercial and technical management services for hydro- and wind-power plants. 3. Project development services - Management services for the devel- opment of hydro and wind assets. 4. Consultancy - Consultancy with accounting and IT management services. 5. Digital services 6. Agency fees power sale Revenue from power-related products is recognized at the spot price, regulated price, or fixed contract price upon delivery or as the power and related products are delivered. The Group applies the available practical expedient, recognizing revenue to the extent that it has a right to invoice. Revenue from management, project development, consultancy and digital services is recognized at the fixed contract price when the services are rendered and the Group has an unconditional right to the consideration settlement. Agency fees from power sales are recognized at the fixed fee amount, based on agreed frequency with power producers depending on when the power is delivered to customers on their behalf. The Group applies the available practical expedient, not adjusting for the financing component when the period between the transfer of goods or services and payment is less than one year. Other income Sale of development projects and producing assets (PPE) The Projects segment is an in-house developer for renewable power projects, held with the intention to develop and operate projects as power-producing assets. When the segment identifies investment opportunities that offer a more advantageous strategic outcome, projects may be divested to other Group entities or external parties. The Group enters into sale agreements for ready-to-build develop- ment projects and, at times, operational assets (PPE), considering these transactions as opportunistic decisions outside its ordinary course of business. Therefore, revenue from such sales is recognized as net gains or losses in accordance with IFRS 10 rather than IFRS 15. Government grants Government grants are received conditional to generating power using certain technologies, including electricity certificates and guar- antees of origin (GOs). The right to receive the grants is obtained at the time of generation of power, at the value of 1 GO per megawatt hour of electricity produced. At grant time, electricity certificates and GOs are measured at nil and income recognized when the sale takes place. Denmark offers several subsidy schemes and public grants for wind power production, including support mechanisms for periods of low power prices or when turbines are shut down due to overpro- duction. Some turbines in the Odin portfolio fall under these subsidy schemes. The subsidies are recognized based on actual power production or the duration of the shutdown. Additionally, public grants are included in other income as part of total revenues.

The key conditions are as follows: The LTIP may cover up to 10% of the issued shares in the Company from time to time. Allocations are proposed by the Board and subject to shareholder approval. The exercise price for the warrants is deter- mined by the Board at its reasonable discretion, considering the fair market value of the shares on the date of the Board of Director’s proposed allocation of warrants under the plan. The determined exercise price is subject to approval by the General Meeting in relation with issuance of warrants. The duration of the warrants from grant date is 5 years. The vesting period is 3 years from the grant date. The value of the warrants in the accounts is calculated at the grant date given a fair value using the Black and Scholes model. The grant date is determined by the Board of Directors. The key assumptions applied for the grants in 2024 is a 40% volatility (based on historic volatility for the Company from listing on the Main List Oslo Børs to the grant date in April 2024), 3.95% interest rate and 0% dividend yield. Other inputs to the model are current stock price, exercise price and expected life of option (vesting period + one year).

Exchange difference gains in financial income for the year amount to NOK 173m, of which NOK 126m relates to internal debt and receivables, and NOK 47m relates to bank deposits and foreign currency. The cash effect of interest received amounts to NOK 33m. Financial expenses Exchange losses in financial expenses for the year amount to NOK -155m, of which NOK -54m relates to translation differences of internal debt and receivables, and NOK -101m relates to bank deposits and debt in foreign currency. The cash effect of interest payments and commitment fees relating to interest-bearing debt and debt facili- ties was NOK -88m. Foreign currency exposure The Group finances investments denominated in foreign currencies with external debt in the same currency. As a result, quarterly foreign exchange gains and losses arise due to FX rate fluctuations, impacting the profit and loss statement. However, this external debt is offset by internal receivables in the same currency, effec- tively reducing currency exposure at the Group level. Note 13 Tax Accounting principle Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Estimated useful life of power plants The estimated useful life of power plants is based on assumptions on expected usage, expected wear and tear, potential technical or commercial obsolescence, legal or other regulatory limitations, and lease expiry. The power plants currently in operation have an expected useful life between 20-60 years. Significant estimates and judgement Assessment of asset acquisition or business combination Material management judgement is necessary to determine whether an acquired project or power plant constitutes a business combina- tion or an asset acquisition. This assessment is conducted individually for each acquisition. If the acquisition is identified as a business combination, IFRS 3 Business combinations will be applied, while for asset acquisitions, either IAS 2 inventory or IAS 16 Property plant and equipment will be applied. Acquisitions that consist of a single power plant ready to construct are typically considered asset transactions. Conversely, acquisitions comprising operational (producing) assets are typically accounted for as business combinations. Nevertheless, each acquisition undergoes a distinct assessment to determine the appropriate accounting treatment. Impairment Producing power plants and power plants under construction undergo impairment testing whenever events or changes in circum- stances indicate a potential impairment, see Note 15 Goodwill and impairment for further details. Property, plant and equipment During the year, the Group disposed of three hydropower plants— Usma, Bjørgelva, and Finnesetbekken—reducing PPE by NOK 213m. In July, Cloudberry acquired Øvre Kvemma Kraftverk AS, a hydropower plant for NOK 124m. The transaction is presented as acquisitions of producing power plants during the year. See further information about these transactions in Note 6 Acquisitions and disposal of assets and operations. Increase in PPE from additions stems mainly from the completion of the Sundby and Munkhyttan wind farms which both have transitioned from “under construction” to “producing power plants” during 2024. At year-end, both projects were internally sold from the Projects to the Commercial segment. Internal gains were eliminated in the consolidated accounts, and the wind farms are recorded at cost. Producing power plants are pledged as security for long term debt, see Note 20 Interest-bearing debt and debt facilities. Contractual obligations for Munkhyttan totalled slightly above EUR 30m approximately EUR 2.5m outstanding. For Sundby, obliga- tions approximately EUR 50m, with approximately EUR 1m outstanding.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. For other non-financial assets such as property, plant, and equipment (PPE), intangible assets, and investments in associates and joint ventures (JVs), impairment testing is performed whenever circum- stances indicate a potential impairment. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell or value in use, with impairment losses recognized in profit or loss when applicable. Impairment testing is conducted using a discounted cash flow model (DCF), with future cash flows discounted using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), adjusted for specific risks attributable to each cash-generating unit (CGU). Key estimates and judgements The Group uses a discounted cash flow (DCF) model for impairment testing. For producing power plant assets, it is built on an internal investment model as basis for impairment testing, both at cash generating unit level and as an indicator of need for impairment assessment on individual PPE level. The estimates in DCF models are consistent with those used in the Group’s budgets and long-term outlook approved by management. DCF model for power plants The DCF model evaluates expected cash flows from individual power plants. Cash flows are estimated based on future cash inflows from power sales and future cash outflows from related expenses. The forecast period covers the expected remaining lifetime of the respec- tive assets. The DCF model relies on estimates such as the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), the long-term power price curve, production volumes, regulatory conditions and judgments regarding useful life and other technical assumptions. The key estimates that the model is most sensitive to is the WACC and the long-tern power price curve. For more information on how management applies these estimates, please refer to Note 3 Key accounting estimates and judgements. Significant estimates The executive management has applied significant estimates in the impairment assessment, related to: • Determining the WACC, based on market conditions and updated regularly. • Estimating future power prices, derived from independent third- party providers. Significant judgments The executive management has exercised significant judgement in the impairment assessment, related to: • Assessing production volumes and asset longevity, reflecting tech- nical, operational, and regulatory conditions. • Identifying impairment indicators, including changes in market conditions, regulatory uncertainties, and macroeconomic factors. Changes in these variables may significantly impact impairment assessments. Annual impairment test of goodwill Goodwill is allocated to the following CGUs for impairment testing: NOK million 2024 2023 Goodwill Projects 37 37 Goodwill Commercial 93 89 Goodwill Asset Managment 78 80 Total 208 206 For the purpose of impairment testing of goodwill, the recoverable amount for these assets has been determined estimating the value in use of the assets and comparing against the carrying value of the CGU’s. The below table summarizes the method for valuation/goodwill testing per segment and the key assumptions and estimates in the calculations: Recovarable amout Segment based on Key assumptions Projects Discounted CF model Price pr MW, expected - Value in use future development cost and discount rate Commercial Discounted CF model Long term power - Value in use price curve 1, change in discount rate, estimated production volumes Asset Discounted CF model Management business Management - Value in use plan, discount rate and growth in terminal 1 Average of Volue and Thema base case Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 128128 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements For valuation of producing power plant assets in the commercial segment the forecast period exceeds five years and covers the remaining lifetime of the respective assets. Goodwill Projects Goodwill of NOK 37m is allocated to the Projects segment. Projects with construction permits are valued based on a market price per MW/GWh, with no discount applied. Projects in development are valued based on the price per MW/GWh of a permitted project, discounted using a 15% development-specific rate from the estimated time of permit approval. Estimated devel- opment costs incurred until permit approval are deducted from this value. The impairment test is sensitive to the following assumptions: • Future cash flows, based on market price per MW/GWh. • Project timelines, including development progress and permit approval. • Discount rate of 15%, applied to projects awaiting permits. The Group concludes that no reasonable change in these assump- tions would result in a carrying value exceeding the recoverable amount. Accordingly, no impairment loss has been recognized, as the recover- able amount exceeds the carrying value. Goodwill Commercial Goodwill of DKK 59m (NOK 93m as of year-end 2024) was recognized in the Commercial segment following the acquisition of the Odin portfolio in May 2024. This portfolio represents Cloudberry’s Danish Commercial segment and future Danish projects segment, consti- tuting the smallest identifiable cash-generating unit (CGU). Goodwill remains unimpaired as long as the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value of the Danish portfolio. Goodwill arises from the following factors: • Portfolio acquisition: Acquiring a portfolio rather than individual assets involves a premium, reflecting control benefits and lower transaction costs. • Market entry: Expansion into the Danish market enhances portfolio diversification across market regions, currencies, and balancing technologies, reducing overall Group risk. • Strategic partnership: Collaboration with Skovgaard as a co-owner and asset manager strengthens local expertise and enhances development opportunities. • Repowering potential: While the option to repower is not explicitly valued, it is included in goodwill, as certain assets in the portfolio are expected to benefit from repowering. For the impairment test, the Group applies the discounted cash flow (DCF) model to assess the valuation of producing power plants in the Odin portfolio. The impairment test is particularly sensitive to: • Discount rate (WACC): 5.1%, reflecting Danish market conditions. • Future cash flows: Dependent on projected power prices and production volumes. • Expected asset lifetime: Consistent with asset-specific technical and operational assumptions. Sensitivity. Management has tested the following scenario adjust- ments separately, as these are considered reasonably possible changes with the corresponding effect on the goodwill: • WACC fluctuation (+/- 0.5% and +/- 1%) – WACC fluctuation +0.5% - no impairment – WACC fluctuation of + 1% - impairment of NOK 62m • Power price curve variation (+/- 5% and +/- 7.5%) – Power price curve -5% - impairment of 13m – Power price curve -7.5% - impairment of the corresponding good- will (NOK 93m) The power price curve is the most sensitive assumption. As of 31 December 2024, no impairment loss has been recognized for goodwill related to the Odin portfolio. Goodwill Asset Management As of 31 December 2024, goodwill of NOK 78m (net of previous impair- ments) is recognized in relation to the acquisition of Captiva, initially 60% acquired in 2022 and increased to 100% in December 2023. This acquisition established the Asset Management segment within Cloudberry. Goodwill is attributable to the following factors: • Established track record and expertise in hydropower project development, asset management advisory, and financial services. • Strong reputation and operational history in the renewable energy industry. • Integration of IT systems and operational intelligence for enhanced management efficiency. • Skilled workforce, providing specialized consulting services in renewable energy. The Asset Management segment consists of the following revenue streams: • Asset management including financial services • Project development and inventory of projects • Consultancy services, including investments in Enestor AS Goodwill is allocated to Captiva as a standalone CGU, as segment- wide costs cannot be directly attributed to individual revenue streams. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 129129 FinancialsFinancials | Consolidated financial statementsFinancials | Consolidated financial statements Impairment is assessed using the value-in-use method, based on a discounted cash flow (DCF) model over a five-year projection period, including terminal cash flow. The model is approved by the Board of Directors and incorporates: • Discount rate (WACC): 8.1% • Terminal growth rate: 3% (1% above annual inflation estimates) • Management’s revenue growth forecasts The calculated recoverable amount exceeds the carrying value, indicating no impairment. Sensitivity. Management has tested scenario adjustments for: • A WACC fluctuation of ±2% or a terminal growth rate adjustment of ±2% would not cause the carrying value to exceed the recoverable amount. As of 31 December 2024, no impairment loss has been recognized for goodwill in the Asset Management segment. Impairment test of other assets For impairment assessment, assets are categorized into cash-gen- erating units (CGUs), representing the lowest level of separately identifiable cash flows. The Group’s CGUs are as follows: Property, plant and equipment (PPE, producing and under construction) • Hydropower: Power plants sharing the same water flow or infra- structure constraints are assessed as a single CGU. • Wind farms: Each wind farm is considered an individual CGU. The Group applies a discounted cash flow (DCF) model to determine impairment indicators. If the model estimates a net investment value below book value, an impairment indicator is identified. However, in 2024, no impairment indicators were observed across producing power plants; therefore, no further impairment testing was conducted. Investments in associated companies and joint ventures The Group applies the equity method for assessing its investments in associates and JVs. At each reporting date, the Group evaluates whether impairment indicators exist. If present, the recoverable amount is compared to the carrying value, and any impairment loss is recognized in the statement of profit or loss as “net income/loss from associated companies and joint ventures.” For 2024, no impairment indicators were identified in investments related to producing power plants, and further impairment testing was not required. Inventory (development projects) The Group evaluates impairment for development projects when their net realizable value (NRV) is lower than the carrying amount. A quarterly review is conducted to assess project progress. If a project is deprioritized, put on hold, or discontinued, its estimated sales value (less disposal costs) is evaluated against book value, and any shortfall is recognized as an impairment loss. • Projects with construction permits are measured at an estimated market price per MW or GWh, benchmarked against recent trans- actions. • Projects in concession processes are grouped for assessment based on development stage and progress. As of 31 December 2024, all projects retained sufficient value, and no impairment losses were recognized.

Forte owns 14 producing hydro power assets and one power offtake agreement in Norway, with a combined normalized annual production of 87 GWh net to Cloudberry. The hydro power assets have an average license life of minimum 50 years. Cloudberry Production AS is the local manager of the Forte portfolio and delivers management services, which for 2024 amounted to NOK 3m. Odal Vind AS (Odal) Odal was first acquired in December 2020 with 15% ownership, and Cloudberry further increased its owner- ship to 33.4% in July 2021. The other owners of Odal Vind AS are Akershus Energi Vind AS and KLP, owning 33.4% and 33.2% respectively. Odal windfarm was constructed during 2021 and 2022, and all turbines were taken over by Odal in 2023. In 2024, Odal Wind faced operational challenges, including a serious blade failure incident in the first quarter, leading to a temporary full-farm shutdown by Siemens Gamesa. Corrective actions were implemented under warranty agreements, minimizing the financial impact. The wind farm resumed almost full production over the course of the second half of 2024, ensuring continued renewable energy output. The windfarm has a normalized annual production of 176 GWh net to Cloudberry and the remaining concession is 27 years. Odin portfolio of JV and associated companies (Odin portfolio) The Odin portfolio of joint ventures and associated entities includes producing power plants that represent only the entities within the larger acquired Odin portfolio that we do not own a controlling share in. We there- fore account for their results using the equity accounting method in the consolidated Group accounts. Of the 311 GWh proportionate share from the total Odin portfolio net to Cloudberry, these entities represent approxi- mately 49 GWh proportionate to Cloudberry. Dingelsundet Energy AS Following the decision in 2023 to halt the offshore wind development at Stenkalles, Cloudberry and Hafslund pivoted their focus toward alternative energy applications at the site in 2024. As part of this transition, the project was renamed Dingelsundet Energy AS. The strategic grid connection at Vänern continues to present opportunities for alternative energy investments. During the year, Cloudberry advanced plans for a battery and solar hybrid project at the site, evaluating its potential contribution to grid flexibility and integration of intermittent renewable energy production. The associated project costs have been reduced, making it a competitive and attractive energy infrastructure venture. The remaining book values in the project are related primarily to a transformer under construction, which may be repurposed for future grid-related developments. Dingelsundet Energy AS remains classified under “Other” in in the reported figures in this note.

The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Norway. Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA was established on 10 November 2017 and its registered office is located at Frøyas gate 15, NO-0273 Oslo, Norway. Cloudberry is an independent power producer, developing, owning and operating renewable assets in the Nordics. The Company has an integrated business model across the life cycle of renewable power plants including project development, financing, construction (normally outsourced), ownership, management, and operations. The financial statement of the Company and the consolidated state- ments of the Group, presented earlier in this report, was approved by the Board of Directors on 24 March 2025. The statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company is a going concern, and that this assumption was appropriate at the date of approval of the financial statements. Note 2 General accounting policies and principles Statement of compliance The financial statements of Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA are prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and Norwegian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (NGAAP). Basis for preparation The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. Accounting estimates and judgements In preparing the financial statements, assumptions and estimates that have an effect on the amounts and presentation of assets and liabilities, income and expenses and contingent liabilities must be made. Actual results could differ from these assumptions and esti- mates. Functional currency and foreign currency translation The functional currency and presentation currency of the Company is Norwegian kroner (NOK). Foreign currency transactions follow the same translation method as applied to the consolidated figures described in Note 2 of the consolidated statement. Employee benefits Wages, salaries, bonuses, pension and social security contributions, paid annual leave and sick leave are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Company. The Company has pension plans for employees that are classified as defined contribution plans. Contributions to defined contribution schemes are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the period in which the contribution amounts are earned by the employees. Cloudberry has a long term incentive equity plan for executive management and key employees. The plan includes the issue of warrants for shares in the Company. Interest income and expenses Interest income and expenses are recognized in the income state- ment as they are accrued, based on the effective interest method. Income tax expense The tax charge in the profit or loss account consists of tax payable for the period and the change in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rate of 22% based on tax-reducing and tax- increasing temporary differences that exist between accounting and tax values, and the tax loss carried forward at the end of the accounting year. Tax-increasing and tax-reducing temporary differences that reverse or may reverse in the same period are offset and entered net. The net deferred tax receivable is entered on the balance sheet to the extent that it is likely that it can be utilised. Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 150150 FinancialsFinancials | Parent company financial statementsFinancials | Parent company financial statements Classification and valuation of current assets and liabilities Current assets and short-term liabilities consist normally of items that fall due for payment within one year of the balance sheet date, as well as items related to the stock cycle. Current assets are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value. Short-term liabilities are entered on the balance sheet at the nominal amount at the time of the transaction. Subsidiaries and investments in associated companies Subsidiaries and associated companies are valued using the cost method in the company accounts. The investment is valued at acqui- sition cost for the shares unless a write-down has been necessary. A write-down to fair value is made when a fall in value is due to reasons that cannot be expected to be temporary and such write-down must be considered as necessary in accordance with good accounting practice. Write-downs are reversed when the basis for the write- down is no longer present. Dividends, group contributions and other distributions from subsid- iaries are posted to income in the same year as provided for in the distributor’s accounts. To the extent that dividends/ group contribu- tions exceed the share of profits earned after the date of acquisition, the excess amounts represent a repayment of invested capital, and distributions are deducted from the investment’s value in the balance sheet of the parent company. Receivables Receivables from customers and other receivables are entered at par value after deducting a provision for expected losses. The provision for losses is made based on an individual assessment of the respec- tive receivables. Short-term investments Short-term investments (shares and interests valued as current assets) are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value on the balance sheet date. Dividends and other distributions received from the companies are posted to income under other financial income. Statement of cash flow The cash flow statement has been prepared using the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, bank deposits and other short-term, liquid investments.

Contributions to the defined contribution schemes are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the period in which the contribution amounts are earned by the employees. The defined contribution plan does not commit the Company beyond the amounts contributed.

This is based on the Group’s experience that APMs are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other parties for supplement information. The purpose of the APMs, both financial and non- financial, is to provide an enhanced insight to the oper- ations, financing, and future prospect for the Group. Management also uses these measures internally for key performance measures (KPIs). They represent the most important measures to support the strategy. Financial APMs should not be considered as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS. APMs are calculated consistently over time and are based on financial data presented in accordance with IFRS and other operational data as described below. The Group uses the following financial APMs: Financial APMs Measure Description Reason for including EBITDA EBITDA is net earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and impairments. Shows performance regardless of capital structure, tax situation or effects arising from different depreciation methods. Management believes the measurement enables an evaluation of operating performance. EBIT EBIT is net earnings before interest and tax. Shows performance regardless of capital structure and tax situation. Management believes the measurement enables an evaluation of operating performance. Net interest- bearing debt (NIBD) Net interest-bearing debt is interest-bearing debt, less cash and cash equivalents. IFRS 16 leasing liabilities are not included in the net interest-bearing debt. Shows the interest-bearing debt position of the company adjusted for the cash position. Management believes the measure provides an indicator of net indebtedness and risk. Equity ratio Equity ratio equals total equity divided by total assets Shows the equity relative to the assets. Management believes the measurement enables an evaluation the financial strength and an indicator of risk.

The Group introduces proportionate financials, as the Group is of the opinion that this method improves transparency and earnings visibility, and also aligns with internal management reporting. The key differences between the proportionate and the consolidated IFRS financials are that all entities are included with the Group respective ownership share: • Associated companies (ownership between 20%-49%) or joint ventures (ownership 50%) are included in the financial accounting lines, the profit or loss statement and share of assets and net debt, with the respective proportionate ownership share. In the consolidated financials associated companies and joint ventures are consolidated with the equity method. • Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests (ownership between 50%-99%) are presented with only the Group controlled ownership share, while in the consolidated financials they are included with 100%. • Group internal revenues, expenses and profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements, while in the proportionate financials, internal revenue and expenses, are retained. • Proportionate interest-bearing debt and NIBD does not include shareholder loans From the consolidated IFRS reported figures, to arrive at the proportionate figures for the respective periods the Group has: “Other eliminations group”: • Added back eliminated internal profit or loss items and internal debt and assets. “Elimination of equity accounted entities”: • Excluded the equity accounted net profit from associated companies in the period. Included the propor- tionate share of the line in the profit or loss statement items (respectively: revenues, operating expenses, depreciations and amortizations and net finance items) • Replaced the investment in shares in associated companies including historical share of profit or loss (asset value) with the share of balance sheet items (total assets, interest bearing debt and cash) for the respective associated company. • Reclassified excess value items included in the equity method to the respective line in the Profit or loss statement, and in the balance sheet. “Residual ownership”: • Excluded residual ownership share related to non-controlling interest in the respective accounting lines.

Units are measured in GWh. Example A typical 4 MW turbine produces 3 000 full-load hours during a year. 4 MW x 3 000 hours = 12 000 MWh or 12 GWh. For illustration, according to the International Energy Agency 1 (“IEA”) the electrical power consumption per capita in Europe is approximately 6 MWh per year. For power production estimates a normalized annual level of power production (GWh) is used. This may deviate from actual production within a single 12-month period but is the best estimate for annual production over a period of several years. Defined as “Normalized production”. Shows Cloudberry’s total production in GWh for the full year including the proportionate share of the production from Cloudberry’s associated companies. Production & under construction, secured At the time of measure, the estimated power output of the secured production and under construction portfolio. The measure is at year-end. Units are measured in MW. Shows Cloudberry’s total portfolio of secured projects that are either producing or under construction. Construction permits At the time of measure, the estimated total power output to be installed in projects with construction permit. Construction Permit is at the stage when concession has been granted, but before a final investment decision has been made. The measure is at year-end. Units are measured in MW. Shows Cloudberry’s total portfolio of projects with construction permit. Measure Description Reason for including Backlog At the time of measure, the estimated total effect to be installed related to projects that are exclusive to the Group and in a concession application process. The measure is at year-end. Units are measured in MW Shows Cloudberry’s portfolio of project where Cloudberry has an exclusive right to the projects. The projects are still under development. Direct emissions Measure in tons of CO 2 equivalents. The use of fossil fuels for transportation or combustion in owned, leased or rented assets. It also includes emission from industrial processes. Shows Cloudberry’s direct emissions (Scope 1, GHG emissions) for the full year. Indirect emissions Measure in tons of CO 2 equivalents. Related to purchased energy; electricity and heating/cooling where the organisation has operational control. The electricity emission factors used are based on electricity production mixes from statistics made public by the IEA. Emissions from value chain activities are a result of the Group’s upstream and downstream activities, which are not controlled by the Group. Examples are consumption of products, business travel, goods transportation and waste handling. Shows Cloudberry’s indirect emissions (Scope 2 and Scope 3, GHG emissions) for the full year. CO 2 reduction Refers to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions relative to baseline emissions from the European electricity mix (EU-27 electricity mix, IEA 2020). Shows Cloudberry’s reduction of greenhouse gases for the full year relative to the European Electricity mix after the direct and indirect emissions from Cloudberry’s operation is subtracted 1 https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/?country=WEOEUR&fuel=Energy%20consumption&indicator=ElecConsPerCapita (accessed 14 June 2021) Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024Cloudberry Clean Energy • Annual report 2024 171171 FinancialsFinancials | Alternative performance measureFinancials | Alternative performance measure artbox.no Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA Frøyas gate 15 0273 Oslo, Norway [email protected] www.cloudberry.no
