WINDLAB LIMITED 20 Projects Why we are investing in Queensland (cont.) The Queensland Government has a 50% renewable energy target by 2030. The state has leading solar resources with a large amount of solar generation already being developed. Wind and solar generation are highly complementary and important to the future stability of Queensland’s energy grid
Government It is estimated that around 10 GW of renewable generation will need to be added to the Queensland generation requirement for fleet to meet the objective of 50% renewable energy by 2030 and more than half of this capacity is expected to be renewables commercial and residential rooftop and utility scale solar
Solar is expected to Solar generation is very uniform; generating mainly from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. Solar generation is accelerate the expected to replace much of the conventional thermal generation in the market during the day and Management redundancy of “base believes this will accelerate the exit from the market of some of the aged conventional generation load” coal
Queensland wind energy profiles are biased towards the late afternoon, evening and night, complementing solar Complementary nature generation. Massive amounts of storage would be required to replace the retired thermal generation at night. of solar and wind Wind energy much more cost effective and will complement large anticipated amounts of solar generation. Wind generation

WINDLAB LIMITED 22 Kennedy Energy Park Phase II In June 2017 the Queensland government unveiled plans to build a new transmission line in North Queensland to support the development of Kennedy Phase II and other renewable energy projects
PROJECT SUMMARY POWERING NORTH QUEENSLAND PLAN In June 2017 the Queensland Government unveiled its “Powering North Queensland Plan” 80 kilometres north of Kennedy Energy Park Location Includes a proposal to build a new 500 kilometre transmission line in Phase I the north of the state to unlock barriers to more than 2,000 MW of large scale wind, solar and hydro projects, and create 5,000 jobs
The Queensland government announced the decision on the basis that it is now cheaper to build new wind and solar than new coal plants Ownership Windlab – 100% Windlab will be a major beneficiary of this government proposal as the Company controls the 1,200 MW wind and solar park, Kennedy Phase II
