4.4.2023 09:58:14 CEST | Magnora ASA | Non-regulatory press releases

Magnora published an update on Helios Nordic Energy (Helios) on 9 March 2023. On
that date, Helios had reached a solar PV portfolio of 3.5 GW, becoming the
largest early-stage developer of solar assets in Sweden.

In less than a month, Helios has now reached 5.5 GW of capacity. This figure
includes 4,262 MW of Solar PV projects, 741 MW of BESS (battery) capacity and
472 MW that has been sold to customers while Helios remain in charge of
procurement and construction management. The figure does not, however, include
147 MW of capacity linked to projects Helios has handed over to customers after
completing procurement and construction management.

In February 2021, Magnora ASA made its first investment in Helios. Magnora owns
40% of the shares and is the company's largest investor.

"Helios is an excellent illustration of our highly successful business model for
solar pv and battery storage development," says Erik Sneve, CEO of Magnora.
"Helios has shown how utilities and energy companies can benefit by using
specialized developers in early stages of a project. Helios excels in finding
suitable land and forming a cooperative relationship with landowners, local
communities, and grid companies in a sustainable way."
