Our journey to 4x growth

Accelerated adoption of green energy is the path to CO2 free way of life

MISSION

We produce renewable energy and deliver green transition based on electrification.

• Portfolio: 800 MW • Fastest growth in Estonia and Lithuania • Portfolio: 600 MW

  • Client solutions: 100 MW
  • Focus on Baltics and Poland

High electricity prices* signal the need for more renewable generation capacity in our region

Regulatory developments

Electricity market model

Preparations by the European Commission for a reform, which seems to aim for decreasing role of day -ahead market and increasing role of PPAs

+

The uncertain regulation of renewable energy subsidies in Latvia caused us to abandon the support scheme at Valka cogeneration plant

Uncertainty regarding fixed price electricity contracts for private individuals – reduces the potential of the market model based on PPAs to support the development of new capacities

A revenue cap of 180 €/MWh for low -variable cost electricity producers (including those using wind, solar, waste and biomass as an energy source). A measure of a temporary nature for 7 months from 1 December 2022 to 30 June 2023, but with a possible extension

+

+

Implementation of the 180 €/MWh revenue cap in Estonia and Latvia, which enables to direct excess revenue to investments

Acceleration of renewable energy investments

+ Increasing national targets for renewable electricity production for 2030: Estonia 40% -> 100% Lithuania 45% -> 70%

+ REPowerEU: A plan of the European Commission to speed up permitting procedures for renewable energy

National reverse auctions for renewable electricity in 2023 2025 in the total amount of 1650 GWh p.a., focusing on wind energy

A joint venture between the national energy and forestry companies getting an exclusive right to develop renewable energy capacities on state land

Wind energy

+ Preparations for the announcement of the auction for 700MW offshore wind farm in the second half of 2023

The introduction of a tolerability fee for wind farms in all Baltic States, which has increased the interest of local governments and communities towards wind farm development +

6

Solar energy

+ Preparation of regulation of direct electricity lines between producers and consumers

Limiting development of solar farms with over 100kW capacity to avoid exceeding the 2GW total capacity target. Restricts the development of hybrid farms.

Developments on fuel markets

+ Natural gas price volatility has increased public support for renewables, including biomass

Recognition of natural gas and nuclear energy as sustainable under the EU taxonomy

Delays and ambiguities in sustainability regulation for biomass
