This document supplements the section on CSR in Agder Energi’s 2016 annual report, and the scope and boundaries described in that section also apply here. The appendix forms part of Agder Energi’s GRI 4 reporting. This document breaks down the joint figures for the Group by topic and company, as well as providing data for the construction of the Skjerka dams and Hodna substation, two of Agder Energi’s major projects in 2016. The document contains the GRI index for Agder Energi’s annual report and appendix. The appendix is only published on our website ae.no.

Indicator G4-EU5 is not relevant, as there are no direct CO2 emissions from hydroelectric power, and emissions allowances from the authorities are not required. Indicator G4-EN7 (a) on reductions in the energy requirements of products is not relevant because Agder Energi sells energy and not physical products. G4-EU10 is reported as the uptime of the grid, since Agder Energi Nett, and not Agder Energi Vannkraft, has a duty to supply electricity.

AGDER ENERGI VANNKRAFT
Agder Energi Vannkraft is building two new rock-fill dams at Lake Skjerkevatn in Åseral. The dams will replace five old concrete dams, and the water level in the lake will be raised by 23 metres. A spillway is also being built, as well as a diversion tunnel with outlet gates to ensure that flood water is safely di verted. After the project is completed, annual generation at Skjerka power station will increase by around 35 GWh. That is equivalent to the energy consumption of 1,750 average households.
Agder Energi asked Østfoldforskning to generate over its lifetime. The LCA for Skjerka will use a drop of approximately carry out a complete Life Cycle Skjerka includes all of the older buildings 370 m to generate around 650 GWh. The Assessment (LCA) of the greenhouse gas and reservoirs and the new dams on Lake LCA concluded that the greenhouse gas emissions produced by Skjerka power Skjerkevatn, but not the new second emissions from Skjerka power station will station. The LCA involves dividing the generator. Emissions from upstream be approximately 4.2 g per kWh generated. power station’s emissions, including the reservoirs have been split between This figure includes 1.9 g of emissions extraction of raw materials, construction Skjerka and Håverstad, in a ratio of 70 to from the flooded areas and emissions and operation, by the energy it will 30. After the new dams are completed, related to the distribution of the electricity.

1) Total consumption of pumps at Skarje and Breive in 2015. 2) For 2014, it was wrongly reported that Agder Energi Vannkraft had 33 members of staff with a flat car allowance. The true number was one. This resulted in the figures for 2014 being 639,999 km too high. The figures for 2014 have been corrected.
