 Repowering resulting in lower investment and higher certainty (e.g. climatic conditions; wind and solar resources) than new projects

 Installed MW remain unchanged

Overpowering

 New installed capacity in adjacent areas to existing projects

 Higher certainty (e.g. climatic conditions; wind and solar resources) than new projects

 Benefiting from more efficient turbines and technologies

 Consolidation of the European platform through disciplined investments in new projects

New projects

Summary financials

Stable profitability and cash generation profile supported by secured revenue stream, long-term agreements for main cost items and disciplined investments

Key considerations

 Stable revenue evolution throughout the cycle, with negative impact in 2015 due to adverse weather conditions and tangible recovery in 2016

 Stable EBITDA margins in the region of c.75% during the recent years

– Strong operational performance and flexibility, allowing consistent healthy EBITDA margins

 Disciplined investments across the cycle

 Capital expenditure mainly focused on:

– Pipeline development and construction of new projects (e.g. Polish wind farm, solar plants in Italy and France, etc.)

To a lower extent, IT investments to increase operational efficiency

 Low working capital requirements translating into limited cash flow
