Enerstry Korea will have an 80 per cent shareholding in the JV Company and LG CNS will own the remaining 20 per cent.

Notes to Editors:

 

Enerstry Korea

 

Enerstry Korea is 93.33 per cent owned by Enerstry Group, in which Nova has a 23.72 per cent shareholding. Its strategy is to build, own and operate renewable energy plants, by itself or in a joint venture with LG CNS, and enter into long term offtake agreements with established, reputable companies in order to create stable, long term income streams for the benefit of its shareholders. At the end of the initial terms of the offtake agreements, if they are not extended, the relevant plants will be transferred to the counterparty company that Enerstry Korea entered into the offtake agreement with. Enerstry Korea has the financial capability to build, own and manage additional environmentally friendly renewable energy plants in Korea and is presently in negotiations with a number of parties to build such plants.
