Green light for repowering project in the district of Stade - Energiekontor
begins construction and partial sale of the Oederquart project

Bremen, 26 April 2024 - Energiekontor AG ("Energiekontor"), a leading German
project developer and operator of wind and solar parks listed in the General
Standard, has reached the financial close stage of the Oederquart repowering
wind park project in the district of Stade in Lower Saxony. The project,
which is now ready for construction, will be partly sold and partly included
in the company's own portfolio.

Energiekontor received a building permit for the project in summer 2023,
enabling it to successfully participate in the renewables tender by the
Bundesnetzagentur, the German Federal Network Agency, in autumn 2023. The
Oederquart repowering project has since progressed to financial close. Now
that the loan for the project has been approved, work can begin on
dismantling the existing and constructing the new wind park.

The ten Enercon wind turbines at the site, each with a generation capacity
of 1.5 megawatts, are to be replaced by six new, more powerful wind turbines
from the same manufacturer, each with a nominal power of around 5.6
megawatts. The new E-160 EP5 turbines have a hub height of roughly 120
metres and a rotor diameter of approximately 160 metres. By more than
tripling the total generation capacity to around 33 megawatts once complete,
the repowered park's forecast electricity yield will increase to more than
85 million kilowatt-hours a year - enough to supply some 26,000 households
in Germany with renewable electricity and save roughly 65,000 tonnes of CO2
annually.

"Repowering existing sites is an important part of our business. In the
coming years, more and more wind turbines will be phased out of the
guaranteed remuneration system under the German Renewable Energies Act. We
are systematically seizing these opportunities. Thanks to our many years of
expertise in this area, we can now also contribute to achieving Germany's
installation targets by the end of 2030 with our project in Oederquart",
says Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG. "Legacy facilities are very
important in our project development activities. Not only do they provide
long-term, site-specific data on wind levels, we can also make use of the
existing infrastructure there, allowing us to plan our projects in the best
possible way and realise them in a cost-conscious manner, also in
economically challenging times."

Energiekontor planned and constructed the Oederquart wind park around 25
years ago. Since then, Energiekontor has been operating two of the ten
existing wind turbines in its own portfolio at the Osterende wind park.
Energiekontor plans to sell part of the project and incorporate three of the
six new turbines into its own park portfolio, expanding the total generation
capacity of the Group's portfolio by around 17 megawatts.

In February 2024, Energiekontor most recently commissioned the sold
repowering wind park project in Bergheim, North Rhine-Westphalia, with
approximately 11 megawatts. Energiekontor has also received six further
building permits since the beginning of the 2024 financial year, including
for three wind projects in Germany (around 35 megawatts in total). The
company has likewise received the go-ahead for its two first solar projects
in France (around 44 megawatts in total), and for a British wind project (66
megawatts). Aside from the British project, all of the projects are intended
for the Group's own portfolio. In addition, two German solar parks with a
total capacity of more than 70 megawatts are currently under construction
and are to be transferred to the company's own portfolio by the end of 2024
and the first quarter of 2025 respectively once they are commissioned.

Energiekontor AG's interim report on the first quarter of 2024 will be
published on 13 May 2024 and will be available on the website at
