THIRD QUARTER PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
Further to the third quarter update issued on 26 November 2025, US Solar Fund
plc (LON:USF (USD)/USFP (GBP)), the renewable energy fund investing in
utility-scale solar power plants across North America, is providing additional
detail on its portfolio performance.
As previously announced, for the 9-month period to 30 September 2025,
portfolio generation was 11.5% below forecast, with 11.0% attributable to
technical (non-weather) factors and 0.5% attributable to below forecast solar
irradiance.
For the 3-month period to 30 September 2025, generation was 13.3% below
forecast, with 11.2% due to technical (non-weather) factors, and 2.1% due to
below forecast solar irradiance.
Portfolio detail
At a portfolio level, the majority of this 11.2% variance was attributable to
the performance of the Heelstone and Granite portfolios. These portfolios were
primarily impacted by downtime at projects identified for capital initiatives
as well as utility grid outages, site damage due to theft, and parts
unavailability due to supply constraints.
Approximately 70% of the 11.2% variance was attributable to 15 assets and half
of the 11.2% variance was attributable to 7 assets. Detailed disclosure on
performance variance attributable to technical (non-weather) factors, split by
portfolio and asset, has been published on the Company's website at website at
www.ussolarfund.co.uk (http://www.ussolarfund.co.uk) (refer to Investor Centre

2025 Portfolio Performance Summary). A copy is also available here:
