PNE
EXPANSION AND EXTENSION OF OUR SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MODEL
Targets:
Exploit the market opportunities of the expansion of clean energies while minimising the risks (Resilient Model)
Establish and expand a low-volatility, stable, predictable and increasing earnings stream at low cost and thus continuously increase the value of the company
Benefit from as many - also future - value drivers in the clean energy sector as possible
Power generation: Massive expansion of the existing portfolio in the areas of wind onshore and PV
Project development: Expansion of development in the areas of wind onshore, wind offshore, PV and hybrid projects with electrolysers for hydrogen production, battery and gas storage as well as heat generators (CHP)
Services: Expansion of additional products as services in the areas of electricity trading, optimisation of wind and PV projects, life cycle management of clean energy projects, engineering services e.g. stand-alone clean energy solutions, power purchase agreements (PPAs)
WE WANT TO IMPROVE IN ALL AREAS
REMARKABLE INVESTMENTS - HIGH EBITDA GROWTH EXPECTED UNTIL 2027
» EBITDA is expected to grow to $>150$ million euro in 2027 and therefore multiply compared with the EBITDA of 2023 (euro 39.9 million)!
» We want to expand the internally operated portfolio to 1,500 MW/MWp, sell an additional $>600 \mathrm{MW} / \mathrm{MWp}$ of projects on average p.a. and increase the pipeline to $>20 \mathrm{GW} / \mathrm{GWp}$
»PNE plans to invest 1.6 billion euro in its internal portfolio from 2023 to 2027 and to make further investments in new markets and technologies
» PNE has established access to equity and debt capital markets and a stable network in the area of project financing/banking market
Targets 2027

1. ELECTRICITY GENERATION
MASSIVE EXPANSION OF INTERNAL ELECTRICITY GENERATION PORTFOLIO
Areas:
" Electricity generation portfolio
" Currently 412 MW wind in Germany
Targets/ measures:
" Increase of the electricity generation portfolio up to 1,500 MW/MWp (1,000 MW wind energy / 500 MWp PV)
" Markets wind and PV: Germany, France, Poland
" PV markets exclusively: Italy and Spain.
- Criteria for IPP markets:
- Stable political environment with long-term expansion targets for clean energies
- Good wind or solar radiation conditions
- Stable tariff system
Remark: $\quad$ PNE builds up an electricity generation portfolio from its own project development work
- The focus is also on the continuous optimisation of all plants in order to ensure high technical availabilities and an optimised yield structure, as well as to sell the green electricity at the best possible prices.
II. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT I - WIND AND PV
Abstract PIPELINE IS GROWING
Areas:
» Wind energy
» Onshore
» Offshore
»PV
Targets / measures:
» Massive increase in the greenfield and repowering project pipeline
» Development of offshore wind energy projects abroad (Vietnam and a further market)
» Land availability is limited - increase in expansion possibilities through integration of hybrid projects (combination of wind/PV and new technologies such as Power-to-X or E-Fuels)
» Projects outside the IPP markets are sold
Remark: » Currently (H1 2024), PNE has a project development pipeline of approx. >17.9 GW/GWp.
» In 2027, PNE aims to develop a pipeline of $>20$ GW/GWp of projects - of which approx. $>10$ GW wind onshore projects, approx. $>8$ GWp PV projects and $>2$ GW wind offshore projects.
II. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT II - NEW TECHNOLOGIES
PNE STRENGTHENS ITS COMMITMENT TO FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES
Areas:
» Power-to-Liquid (e-fuels such as kerosene etc.)
» Power-to-gas projects
» Storage
» Power-to-heat
» Hybrid projects
Targets / measures:
» Projects for power-to-liquid (e-fuels such as kerosene etc.)
» Projects for power-to-gas - hydrogen as an alternative to the electricity market
» Storage, e.g. battery storage
» renewable energy power plants/island solutions
» power-to-heat solutions for the replacement of old power plants
Remark: $\quad$ The technical competence for the development, construction and operation of power-to-X and battery solutions is to be further expanded.
» The focus of activities is on project development of hybrid projects (wind energy or PV and power-to-X or batteries) in Germany, South Africa and Poland. In addition, Canada and Spain are under observation as further future markets.
3. SERVICES
WE MANAGE THE ENTIRE LIFE CYCLE OF A PROJECT
Areas:
" Services of all kinds for the operational business such as: Operational
Management, Power
Purchase Agreements
(PPA), Construction
Targets / measures:
") PNE aims to become one of the leading operational management companies in Europe
") Services to be further expanded from 2,930 MW in 2024 to $>3,500$ MW of wind and PV projects
") The aim is to provide additional, recurring, highmargin services over the life cycle of the projects and to offer new utilisation opportunities at the end of the life cycle, e.g. through repowering
Remark: $\quad$ The service segments should follow the development of PNE and the IPP footprint; Germany, France and Spain are the most attractive markets
" The marketing of electricity, gas and heat from clean energy is also to be strengthened.
04 - OPERATIVE DEVELOPMENTS
PNE
STRONG PIPELINE GROWTH AND HIGH CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY
LAYING THE GROUND FOR FUTURE SUCCESS BY STRONG TENDER RESULTS AND PERMITS
" Project pipeline grew despite the sale of the US business
In total, our pipeline for wind and photovoltaic projects increased year-onyear to 17,937 MW/MWp (H1 2023: 16,590 MW/MWp). We are therefore well positioned for further development in our core business of project development.
Expansion of internally operated portfolio in progress
The wind farm portfolio operated by PNE had a capacity of 412 MW at the end of the first half of 2024 (H1 2023: 346 MW).
" The service business is still on track for success
The order volume we manage in operations management was increased to approx. 2,930 MW (H1 2023: 2,710 MW). By expanding our service business, we are also contributing to further increase the share of stable earnings.

CONTINUOUS INCREASE IN ALL AREAS
VERY GOOD PROGRESS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STRATEGY

PNE IS IDEALLY POSITIONED IN THE MARKET
As a Clean Energy Solutions Provider, we benefit from the global hunger for clean energy and increasing electrification
Our integrated business model covers the entire value chain, opens up further growth and margin potential and is resilient
The expansion of the electricity generation portfolio will sustainably increase the share of recurring income to $>60 \%$ and thus further improve the risk profile
We occupy future technologies such as hydrogen and develop additional services to participate directly in market development
High cash position, secured financing and strong project pipeline ensure the implementation of the strategy
Over 25 years of experience, the excellent track record and the comprehensive industry know-how ensure a sustainable leading market position
