Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA | Invests into Swedish late-stage development project

Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA | Invests into Swedish late-stage development project

Oslo, Norway, 23 November 2021: Cloudberry Clean Energy ASA ("Cloudberry" or the

"Company") has entered into a binding agreement to acquire a onshore wind power

project in SE3 area in Sweden. Cloudberry, a Nordic renewable energy company, is

positioning for further growth of its development and production portfolio in

the Nordics.

Today Cloudberry has entered into a binding agreement to acquire 100% of the

Kafjärden wind development project (18-40 MW) outside Stockholm, in the

attractive SE3 pricing area. At Kafjärden, Cloudberry is stepping into an

ongoing development project, where the Company has identified significant

potential for added value.

The pricing level for the acquisition reflects historic project related

investments, as the former owner made a strategic decision to sell its

development projects. As such, including project rights, Cloudberry assesses the

pricing to be attractive versus comparable transactions in the Nordics.

"The Kafjärden project enables us to take advantage of our skilled, local

development organization to de-risk and add value to a late-stage development

project. We see a clear upside potential in the acquisition, through

commercializing the asset via in-house late-stage development of the project,

optimizing the technical lay-out and specifications of the project", says Tor

Arne Pedersen, CDO of Cloudberry.

The acquisition of Kafjärden boosts the Company's late-stage portfolio and fits

well with the Company's value creation strategy. Together with the in-house

developed wind projects Stenkalles Grund, Hån and Duvhällen, Cloudberry has

acquired attractive projects with growth opportunities and/or low-cost entries

with added value potential. Cloudberry expects double digit equity IRRs for the

lifetime of the project.

"Cloudberry is uniquely positioned within the Nordic renewable space to create

value through local knowledge, hands-on stakeholder management and a highly

skilled development team. Kafjärden fits well with our value creation strategy,

where we will seek to commercialize the asset, and bring the project to a FID

within 2022", says Anders Lenborg, CEO of Cloudberry.
