Global Interconnectors

Introduction: GIG InterConnectors

Planned Strategic Build-Up of Interconnector Portfolio

Opportunity

• ❖ Grids face massive domestic capex requirements that outstrip their financing capacity
• ❖ Need to divest international operations
• ❖ Shortage of capital + expertise for Interconnector development
• ❖ Scarce Supply of HVDC cable leads to costly delays for new projects

Challenges

• ❖ Regulatory: Ownership of interconnectors and grids subject to interwoven thicket of regulation
• ❖ 'Excess Profits': current Return on unlevered Capital above regulatory thresholdleads to clawback of 'excess returns' by regulators
• ❖ Future Price Uncertainty: consensus view that prices will decline if Ukraine war resolved. Will price volatility remain elevated?
• ❖ Supply chain: proliferation of interconnectors and grid upgrades is driving higher prices and shortage of key inputs,
• ❖ HVDC cable, converters, and transformers; specialist installation equipment and services
• ❖ Project risk: interconnector projects carry inherent binary risks of success or failure that challenge most institutional investors
• ❖ Macro risk: each interconnector is subject to specific geographical, energy source and international political risks
• ❖ Expertise: investment in, and development and operation of, interconnectors requires deep but scarce expertise

	Vehicle for a Global portfolio of interconnector projects and assets to capture exceptional interconnector economics, while enjoying diversification and economies of scale ► Diversification reduces risk
Solution:	► Resilient cashflows from operating assets, paired with ► Capital appreciation from development and construction-stage projects
GIG	► Mitigate project and macro risks specific to each interconnector ► Economies of scale
	► 'Coalition of the Willing' with major TSOs as shareholders ► Pooled expertise for assessing, executing, and managing interconnector investments ► Advanced Cables to secure access to critical HVDC cable for GIG's interconnector projects

'Coalition of the Willing'

Strategic Build-Up of Interconnector Portfolio

Strategy

Harness GIG's capital market access and expertise to buy-build-transform interconnectors at attractive prices to produce a balanced portfolio. Buy with GIG Shares as well as cash to align interests

• ❖ Portfolio construction: a portfolio approach to investments, managing exposure to each geography, energy source, and project stage. Build integrated network
• ❖ Financial discipline: strict acquisition pricing criteria, conservative leverage, minimum proportion of contracted cashflows.
• ❖ Origination:
• ❖ Differentiation: access to scarce expertise and HVDC manufacturing capacity marks GIG as an attractive partner
• ❖ Network: TSO partners, GIG's team, advisers and owner-operator relationships engender early access to opportunities
• ❖ Risk mitigation:
• ❖ Exposure spread across projects and operating assets, across different energy sources, and across geographies
• ❖ Cashflows from portfolio's operating assets
• ❖ Development-stage acquisitions limited to more mature projects: feasibility established, visibility on offtake
• ❖ Construction-stage risks mitigated via EPC contracts

Acquisition Parameters

Typical characteristics of interconnector acquisitions at each stage

Stage	Discount Rate	Time Horizon	Notes
Development	30-50%	1-3 years to construction	Feasibility established; near-term visibility on offtake arrangements and construction commencement
Construction	16-20%	3-7 years to operation	Key construction risks insured via EPC contract Offtake arrangements already in place (PPA, cap and floor)
Operating	7-13%	50-year operating life [25-year regulated asset life]	Contracted cashflows inflation-linked. Typically 25-year cap and floor agreements and 10-20 year PPAs

Hydro Pumped Storage (HPS)

A vital component of sustainable energy systems

HPS efficiently stores and managed electrical energy, contributing to grid stability and renewable energy integration

❖ During periods of excess energy (e.g strong winds or high solar output), surplus electricity is sued to pump water from into the existing hydro dam's reservoir

Energy Generation

❖ During peak demand or low renewable energy production, water from the reservoir is released. Gravity pulls it down, spinning turbines and generating electricity

Grid Stabilisation

❖ Provides grid stability by responding rapidly to fluctuations in demand and acts as a backup power source during outages or emergencies

Energy Storage Advantages of HPS

• ❖ Grid Balancing:
• o Smoothes out intermittent renewable energy sources
• o Enhances grid reliability
• ❖ Energy storage:
• o Stores excess energy for future use, with longer life than conventional batteries
• o Mitigates energy supply fluctuations
• ❖ Environmental Benefits:
• o Low greenhouse gas emissions across 'whole of life'
• o Minimal impact on local ecosystems (as dams already built)
• o No disposal problems

Conclusion

Hydro Pumped Storage is a proven, versatile, large scale and reliable energy storage solution. Essential for integrating renewable energy into the grid. Invaluable asset. 16
