· Decrease in power price forecasts in the Nordics, particularly in Denmark as a result of decreasing commodity prices and the existing interconnectivity with continental Europe (-3.9 cents per Ordinary Share).

· Decrease in short-term CPI forecasts (-0.2 cents per Ordinary Share), Eurozone inflation assumption 5.6% in 2023.

· Olhava valuation uplift to reflect the positive impact due to the removal of the hedging requirement with the renegotiation of financing terms (+2.0 cents per Ordinary Share).

· Asset life extensions applied on Spanish solar PV portfolio following the conclusion of due diligence which was supported by independent third-party providers (+2.1 cents per Ordinary Share).

· Increase in discount rate from 7.2% to 7.3% (-0.7 cents per Ordinary Share) as a result of increases in risk free rates. Up to 40 bps in construction risk premia remain in place on the assets under construction.

NOTES

 

The objective of Aquila European Renewables plc is to provide investors with an attractive long-term, income-based return in EUR through a diversified portfolio of wind, solar PV and hydropower investments across continental Europe and Ireland. Through the diversification of generation technologies, the seasonal production patterns of these asset types complement each other to balance the cash flow, while the geographic diversification serves to reduce exposure to one single energy market. In addition, a balance is maintained between government supported revenues, fixed price power purchase agreements and market power price risk.
