Asset Realisation Strategy

·      On 6 August 2025, the Company published a circular to
Shareholders setting out the recommended proposals for the Asset Realisation
Strategy.

·      The Board convened an Extraordinary General Meeting on 28 August
2025 at which shareholders voted in favour of the Asset Realisation Strategy,
whereby, Victory Hill will manage the Company with the intention of realising
all the assets in its portfolio in a timely manner with a view to maximising
value for its shareholders.

·      The proposed Asset Realisation Strategy is expected to be
completed in no longer than three years, by which point all capital will have
been returned to shareholders.

·      Victory Hill has commenced preparations for the realisation of
the portfolio of assets. During the quarter under review, extensive work was
carried out to prepare the most mature assets for sale. Separately, Victory
Hill has been active in driving the implementation of under-construction
projects while assessing the prevailing market conditions for asset
realisations in specific energy markets. Furthermore, Victory Hill is in the
process of managing early-stage reverse enquiries on the Company's assets. The
firm believes that prevailing conditions overall are supportive of its
objectives of realising shareholder capital returns aligned with its
incentives under the Asset Realisation Strategy.

NAV Movements - Key Drivers:

Fair Value of Assets

·      As the Asset Realisation Process for ENRG has progressed,
feedback from external market participants has been incorporated, and inputs
in the fair value of assets have been updated to reflect current market
conditions. These adjustments have, on balance, increased the fair value of
the assets and overall Company NAV.

·      Given the commerciality around the Asset Realisation Process,
discount rate disclosures will be reported at the portfolio level going
forward given their sensitivity in an M&A process. The published weighted
average discount rate number will reflect up-to-date information during the
reporting period.

·      The weighted average discount rate for the Company was 8.48%, an
increase of 28bps from the previous quarter.

Foreign Exchange

During the quarter, movements in foreign exchange led to a 3.69p per share
increase in the NAV. GBP weakened versus USD by 1.77%, AUD by 2.87%, BRL by
4.15% and EUR by 1.87%.

Portfolio Update

ENRG is entirely funded without any public subsidy or government financial
guarantees. Furthermore, ENRG has no exposure to core renewable assets in the
UK. As such, the ongoing UK consultation on ROC and FiT indexation does not
have any impact on the portfolio.

 

UK flexible power with CCR asset:

·      During the period under review, the plant reached full operations
and started generating baseload power under the 15-year power purchase
agreement with Axpo, together with purified CO2 under its supply contract with
Buse.

·      In line with the process of value creation initiatives throughout
the portfolio, the operator for this asset has engaged with Axpo to optimise
its power trading strategy and achieve margins beyond the fixed PPA revenues.

 

Australian solar PV with battery storage assets:

·      The Australian solar and storage programme reached completion
post-period, with the final two assets becoming fully operational - comprising
two solar PV sites integrated with DC-coupled two hour 4.95MW battery energy
storage systems. The programme now totals 37MW/60MWh of capacity across seven
assets in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.

 

Brazilian solar PV assets:

 

·      A solar site with a capacity of 6.25MWdc was energised in the
third quarter of the year, bringing the Company's total number of operational
solar distributed generation projects in Brazil to 13, with a capacity of 40.5
MWdc.

·      While during the period, the assets performed marginally below
expectations due to weather-related factors which caused lower solar
irradiation, overall, generation performance is expected to align with the
long-term investment case assumptions.

 

US terminal storage assets:

 

·      EBITDA performance was stronger versus budget in Q3 and YTD
overall, driven by higher volumes through the facility, and higher revenues
from ancillary services as additional handling needs of products from PEMEX
continued to grow.

 

Iberian solar and onshore wind assets:

 

·      The 10.3MW Spanish solar PV asset is mechanically complete and
both this asset and 9.8MW of the Portuguese solar PV assets are expected to
reach operational status by the end of 2025.

·      Victory Hill remains focused on delivering an operational
portfolio of 158MW during 2026.

 

Brazilian hydro facility:

 

·      The facility continues to perform in-line with budget and has
achieved its longest period on record without unplanned interruptions since
construction in 1974.

·      Increased renewable penetration in Brazil and strong power demand
have increased grid intermittency and spot price volatility. These conditions
are creating opportunities to secure long-term PPAs at attractive levels and
capture a premium realized price for baseload power.

·      Post-period, the Brazilian regulator Agência Nacional de Energia
Elétrica (ANEEL) has concluded its technical assessment recommending approval
of the concession renewal to the Ministry of Energy. The conditions for
renewal are robust, with recent legislative changes further facilitating the
process.

 

Sustainability Update*

·      A total of 36,638 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions were avoided
in the third quarter of 2025 from renewable energy generation. 961 tonnes of
CO2 was captured from the UK flexible power with CCR asset.

·      A total 115,828 MWh of renewable energy and 9,992 MWh of low
carbon energy from the flexible gas with CCR asset were generated by the
portfolio over the same time-period, equivalent to over 46,600 average UK
homes powered annually.

·      Almost 6,913 tonnes of sulfur were avoided in the third quarter,
attributable to the US terminal storage assets.

·      During the quarter, ESG initiatives continued to advance across
the portfolio. In the UK, the community outreach fund was mobilised to support
local programmes around the UK flexible gas plant, strengthening ties with
nearby communities. In Brazil, revegetation activities progressed across
several of the solar sites, enhancing biodiversity and soil stability as part
of permit-required environmental restoration plans. At the Mascarenhas
hydropower plant, the operator continued educational outreach with local
schools and advanced activities under the required environmental management
programme, reinforcing commitments to environmental education, conservation,
and community engagement. Together, these actions demonstrate the portfolio's
sustained delivery of its social and environmental commitments alongside
strong operational performance.
