GFG Alliance’s Executive Chairman Sanjeev Gupta said the deal would help lower energy costs at Laverton. DEGRUSSA MINING WESTERN AUSTRALIA DeGrussa is the largest off-grid solar battery storage project in Australia. It powers a gold and copper mine in remote WA. Commissioned in June 2016, it provides a solar and storage solution to the majority of the mine’s daytime electricity requirements, offsetting up to 20% of total diesel consumption annually. NECTAR FARMS VICTORIA Bulgana Green Power Hub, consisting of 196 MW of wind backed by a 20MW battery, is co-located with agri-business Nectar Farms to provide secure and affordable energy. Nectar Farms is using the latest in hydroponic glasshouse and plant technology to create a 10 hectare state of the art facility and over 130 local jobs.

Effects Statement Biodiversity Conservation Act Application Page 5 VISUAL IMPACT Wind turbines are large features in the environment. Neoen has selected this site partly due to the relatively low density housing in the nearby area. This site minimizes the visual impact of the proposed wind farm. As part of any planning permit application, Neoen will complete a comprehensive assessment of potential impacts on landscape character and visual amenity. We will work with nearby neighbours of the project to fund tree planting and visual screening. If you live nearby we would encourage you to contact us so that we can start talking with you about how this would work. Photo provided by www.uka-gruppe.de/360grad NOISE IMPACT Wind farm projects are subject to strict noise regulations. At neighbouring houses, wind turbine noise must not exceed 40dB(A) or background noise level +5dB(A), whichever is greater. As part of any planning permit application, Neoen will complete a comprehensive assessment of noise levels at all nearby houses in accordance with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) guideline: Development of Wind Energy Facilities in Victoria - Policy and Planning Guidelines and New Zealand Standard 6808:2010 Acoustics – Wind Farm Noise.

Information sourced from Environmental Protection Authority, Victoria. Page 6 SAFEGUARDING ECOLOGY – Neoen is committed to configuring the project to ensure minimal environmental impacts and to safeguard the local ecology. – The project has been sited in a pine plantation in order to reduce the environmental and biodiversity impacts associated with removing native vegetation. – Climate change is a major threat to coastal ecology. Once operational, Kentbruck Green Power Hub will reduce CO2 emissions by 3.5 million tonnes per year. There is a vertical buffer above the pine trees and below the turbine blades, and to some extent the height of the wind turbines can be adjusted depending on survey results. Vertical buffer 45m (minimum lower blade sweep height) 30m Tree height One of the options for the transmission line easement is through underground cabling along an existing dirt road through the Cobboboonee National Park. This low- impact solution would ensure minimal disturbance to flora, fauna and the local 10m community. 5.5m 1.2m Page 7 2019 2020 2021 Common Name Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Coast Helmet-orchid Green-striped Greenhood Winter Sun-orchid River Swamp Wallaby-grass Square Raspwort Swamp Greenhood Swamp Everlasting Wrinkled Cassinia Coastal Leek-orchid Small Sickle Greenhood Mellblom’s Spider-orchid Ornate Pink-fingers Maroon Leek-orchid Coast Dandelion Coast Ixodia Limestone Spider-orchid Clover Glycine Metallic Sun-orchid Colourful Spider-orchid Scented Spider-orchid Robust Spider-orchid Late Helmet-orchid Leafy Greenhood Swamp Diuris Survey window Survey Page 8 FLORA & FAUNA SURVEY PROGRAM 2019 2020 2021 Common Name Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Level 1 brolga assessment underway - further Brolga survey requirements depend on outcomes of L1 Lewin’s Rail Little Egret Eastern Great Egret Little Bittern Freckled Duck Blue-billed Duck White-bellied Sea Eagle Striped Worm-lizard Swamp Skink Growling Grass Frog Orange-bellied Parrot Australasian Bittern Survey and targeted Red-tailed Black observations of flight Cockatoo height 12 month Southern Bent-wing Bat program Southern Brown Bandicoot Swamp Antechinus Long-nosed Potoroo Heath Mouse Migratory shorebirds Bird Utilisation Surveys Survey window Survey Page 9 ECONOMIC BENEFITS $1.2 BILLION ~200 JOBS $1.8 MILLION $1.1 MILLION 14 JOBS INFRASTRUCTURE CREATED DURING ANNUALLY IN ANNUALLY WHEN PROJECT IS INVESTMENT CONSTRUCTION FIRE LEVIES IN LAND RATES OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS ABILITY TO PRODUCE APPROXIMATELY 3,300,000 MWh PER YEAR WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO: DISPLACING POWERING REMOVING PLANTING 3,500,000 TONNES 500,000 HOMES 860,000 CARS 4.3 MILLION TREES OF CO2 EMISSIONS FROM THE ROAD Page 10 LOCAL COMMUNITY BENEFITS $150,000 PER YEAR for local projects and initiatives throughout the project lifespan (approximately 30 years) In early discussions, community members have proposed the following ideas.

  • Herbert Smith Freehills Advises on Platform Refinancing of Hornsdale Wind Farm
    HERBERT SMITH FREEHILLS ADVISES ON PLATFORM REFINANCING OF HORNSDALE WIND FARM 24 January 2020 | Australia, Asia Pacific News Herbert Smith Freehills has advised on the $650 million consolidated platform refinancing of Stages 1, 2 and 3 of the Hornsdale Wind Farm, located about 200km north of Adelaide in South Australia. The wind farm, which comprises 99 wind turbines with a total capacity of 309MW, was the first multi-staged, separately project-financed wind farm in Australia. All three stages of the project – on which the firm advised in 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively – are now complete and in operation. The firm advised both the incoming lenders and the exiting lenders on all aspects of the refinancing. This innovative refinancing brought together the three stages of the project under a single combined platform financing arrangement with varying tenors of debt being provided by an all-international group of lenders consisting of Korea Development Bank, Mizuho Bank, Natixis and Société Générale. The restructuring and consolidation of the financing in this way has allowed the wind farm to secure long tenor debt on favourable terms. The wind farm is majority owned by French renewable energy producer Neoen Australia, together with leading international infrastructure investor John Laing. Siemens is responsible for providing long-term operation and maintenance services to the project. Each stage of the project benefits from a separate 20 year feed-in-tariff for the supply of power to the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), each awarded under the ACT Government’s reverse wind auction program. The project made a significant contribution towards the ACT Government meeting its target of having 100% of its electricity supplied by renewable energy sources by 2020.
