Proportionate financials
Revenue and results
In addition to the consolidated financial reporting in line
with IFRS, the Group provides proportionate financial
reporting, which forms part of the alternative
performance measures that the Group presents.
Proportionate reporting is aligned with the Group’s
internal management reporting, analysis, and decision
making.
Proportionate financials represent Orrön Energy’s
proportionate share of all the entities in which the Group
holds an ownership. This is different to the consolidated
financial reporting under IFRS, where the results from
entities in which the Group holds an ownership of
50 percent or less are not fully consolidated but instead
reported on one line, as share in result from associates
and joint ventures. All entities in which the Group holds
an ownership of more than 50 percent are fully
consolidated in the financial reporting presented under
IFRS.
1 Includes legal and other fees of MEUR 7.0 (MEUR 7.2) incurred for the defence of the Company and its former representatives in the Sudan legal
case and a non-cash expense for long-term incentive plans of MEUR 3.0 (MEUR 3.4) for the year.
Proportionate revenue and other income
Proportionate revenue from power generation amounted
to MEUR 28.6 (MEUR 30.7) for the year and was impacted
by lower power generation volumes compared to the
previous year due to low wind speeds and voluntary
curtailment during periods of low electricity prices in
certain price areas. Proportionate revenue from power
generation included revenues from ancillary services
and amounted to MEUR 0.9 (MEUR –) during the year.
Revenue from project sales for the year amounted to
MEUR 4.0 (MEUR –) and represented the consideration
from the sale of the Company’s first 76 MW solar project
in Germany. The total consideration amounts to MEUR
4.0, of which MEUR 2.0 is contingent upon municipal and
legislative approvals.
Proportionate operating expenses
Proportionate operating expenses amounted to MEUR
19.0 (MEUR 15.3) and were mainly impacted by higher
balancing costs compared to the previous year. The
previous year was impacted by grid compensation
benefits and insurance reimbursements, which reduced
the operating expenses.

Introduction - Highlights
Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025 7
2025 marks a formative year for our business, with the
first revenues secured from greenfield project sales,
grid secured for six large-scale projects in the UK and
additional projects reaching key milestones. We
continued to increase flexibility across our asset base
and optimise our operational approach, positioning us
better against a demanding market backdrop in the
Nordics. 2026 is set to be an exciting and important
year for the Company, where I expect further revenues
from project sales, stronger pricing, continued
operational flexibility across our assets, and the
conclusion of the Sudan case.
Market conditions in the Nordics remained challenging
throughout 2025, characterised by continued price
volatility, increased costs, and a growing importance of
operational controls across our assets. We achieved an
average realised price of 36 EUR per MWh in 2025, with
volatility causing prices to range from periods of zero or
negative pricing, to surging price levels as we enter 2026.
Balancing costs increased through the summer of 2025
as a result of a structural change in settlement periods,
and I am pleased to see that these costs have since
stabilised at a more reasonable level. To manage the
increasing complexity and volatility of the electricity
system, we have implemented a flexible operational
approach, including voluntary curtailments to optimise
production during low-price periods, and technologies to
reduce exposure to balancing costs. While these
measures impacted our production volumes, they in turn
improved our financial performance, contributing more
than MEUR 1 during 2025. We also hedged a portion of our
2025 and 2026 volumes to secure revenues in the short
term. I expect market conditions to stabilise going
forwards as market participants adapt to a more flexible
energy system.
I am really pleased with the performance and
recognition achieved within our greenfield portfolio. In
2025, we signed agreements to sell four German projects,
clearly demonstrating the value of our platform. The total
consideration for all projects was up to MEUR 18,
representing a good return on invested capital and
highlighting the investor appetite for these projects. As of
year-end 2025, we had recognised MEUR 4 of sales
proceeds, with the remaining consideration of MEUR 14
subject to achieving key development milestones over
the coming 24 months.
The project pipeline behind these initial sales remains
robust and continues to grow. In Germany, we
successfully progressed solar projects with a combined
capacity of 280 MW towards ready-to-permit following
municipal approvals. In parallel, we are advancing a
multi-GW battery pipeline in Germany, with the first
large-scale projects expected to reach the ready-to-
permit stage in 2026. In the UK, we secured grid
connections for 2.9 GW of solar and data centre projects
and expect binding grid agreements in the second half
of 2026. With an average sales price of around TEUR 55
per MW in 2025, combined with the scale and quality of
our pipeline, I am confident that this platform will be able
to deliver significant value for us going forward.
Proportionate power generation, including compensated
volumes, amounted to 839 GWh for the year, which was
below our production outlook. The results reflect another
year of weak winds, combined with periods of low
electricity prices leading to higher levels of curtailed
volumes. While disappointing, I am encouraged by the
high availability we have across our portfolio, which
underlines our capacity to deliver higher production as
wind and market conditions improve. In 2026, we expect
proportionate power generation of between 800 and
950 GWh, which includes a provision for weather
variability and voluntary curtailments. The long-term
market fundamentals in the Nordics remain strong, with
energy demand expected to grow due to electrification
of industry and transport, and rising consumption from AI
and data centres.
As we head into 2026, we are entering a very important
year for the business, with contingent payments
expected from project sales announced in 2025 and
additional revenues from sales in Germany and the UK.
The District Court trial in the Sudan legal case is
scheduled to end in the second quarter of 2026, with a
verdict expected later in the year. The conclusion of the
trial is an important milestone for the Company, which
will reduce our legal costs and improve the stock’s
accessibility to a broader group of investors. Based on
the evidence presented and testimonies during the
proceedings, I remain convinced of a full acquittal and
look forward to putting this matter behind us.
I would like to thank all of our shareholders for your
continued support and look forward to updating you on
our progress.

Introduction - Highlights
8 Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025
2025 was a year in which Orrön Energy demonstrated
resilience in a volatile market environment, while
remaining focused on its strategic objectives and
successfully delivering on its greenfield strategy. By
integrating flexibility and value accretive measures
across the operational business the Company is well
positioned to navigate this volatility and remains on
track to deliver long-term value.
Global investments in renewable energy reached record
levels in 2025, reflecting the accelerating pace of the
global energy transition and strong demand for the
technologies, which are at the core of Orrön Energy’s
business. Onshore wind and solar remain the most cost-
effective sources of new power generation, underpinning
continued high levels of investment in renewables.
While the energy transition is well underway, the energy
system remains complex, and structural changes to how
we consume and produce electricity will inevitably lead
to periods of volatility, as markets and technologies
adapt. This was evident in the Nordics during the year,
where changes to settlement periods led to
unprecedented and highly volatile balancing costs,
alongside periods of low electricity prices.
The demand for renewable energy remains robust, and
while some governments, notably the US, scaled back
their ambitions in this area during the year, I am
encouraged to see that the European governments in
our key markets continue to show strong commitment. In
addition, renewable energy is also increasingly
recognised as a strategic priority in strengthening
national energy security and resilience. In a year marked
by heightened geopolitical uncertainty globally, energy
security has moved to the forefront of national priorities.
Within this market environment, we continued to execute
on our strategy of producing and investing in renewable
energy and enabling technologies to drive the energy
transition, while adopting a flexible operational approach
to manage volatility. In doing so, we aim to position Orrön
Energy as a resilient and attractive long-term investment
aligned with the energy transition and contributing to the
decarbonisation and flexibility of electricity systems.
In 2025, we achieved an important milestone with the
successful monetisation of the Company’s first greenfield
projects, providing a clear validation of the strategy and
demonstrating the strong market demand for these
technologies. Supported by a growing pipeline of
projects, this provides a solid foundation for future value
creation.
We also took a number of steps to strengthen the
Company’s resilience during the year. These included
enhancing our cyber defence capabilities and
reinforcing our emergency response preparedness. We
also conducted a comprehensive review and update of
our Code of Conduct and corporate policies to better
reflect the current scope of business and ensure
alignment with the evolving risk landscape. These
frameworks provide clear guidance for how the
Company and its employees conduct business
responsibly and in line with the highest ethical standards,
while also clearly defining the expectations of our
business partners.
I am particularly proud that our efforts and performance
were recognised externally during the year, as we
improved our ESG ratings across the main rating
agencies. This places Orrön Energy in the upper end of
our industry, demonstrating our strong performance in
this area.
Finally, we have the end of the Sudan trial in sight,
following over two years of proceedings in the Stockholm
District Court. We look forward to closing this chapter to
focus our full efforts and resources on our strategic
objectives of building an energy company that delivers
long-term value for our shareholders.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all of our
shareholders for your continued support, and I look
forward to Orrön Energy’s progress as we enter an
exciting year ahead.

Operational Review
Production
Orrön Energy operates a diverse portfolio of wind power
assets in the Nordics, primarily located in Sweden’s SE3
and SE4 price areas and in Finland. Proportionate power
generation amounted to 800 GWh for the year, and in
addition, the Company received compensation for
39 GWh related to ancillary services and availability
warranties, bringing the total proportionate power
generation, including compensated volumes, to 839 GWh
for the year. This was below the Company’s production
outlook for 2025, and was impacted by low wind speeds
and voluntary curtailments during low-price periods.
The expected power generation range for 2026, including
compensated volumes, is between 800 and 950 GWh,
taking into account the impact of weather, voluntary
curtailments and provision of ancillary services. The
Company expects its long-term power generation to be
around 1,000 GWh, assuming average long-term
meteorological conditions and excluding curtailment.
Power generation is presented on a proportionate basis
which is an alternative performance measure, as defined
in the section Key Financial Data on page 89.
For 2025, the Company achieved a realised electricity
price of EUR 36 per MWh. Guarantees of origin and
ancillary services contributed an additional EUR 1 per
MWh, while hedging had a negative impact of EUR 1 per
MWh. The Company is awarded and sells guarantees of
origin for all of its power generation, certifying that the
electricity has been produced from renewable energy
sources.
The weighted average regional electricity price for the
Company’s proportionate power generation during the
year amounted to EUR 46 per MWh, and the Nordic
system price averaged EUR 40 per MWh. The variance to
the Company’s realised electricity price is explained by
‘capture price discounts’, which occur when the majority
of power generation takes place during periods of lower
market prices relative to the average spot price.
The Company is continuously implementing measures to
mitigate its exposure to market volatility and low
electricity prices. This includes voluntary curtailments
during low-price periods, optimising production to
reduce exposure to balancing costs, providing ancillary
services to create additional revenue streams and
entering into financial hedges. At the end of the year,
around 80 percent of the total proportionate production
had been incorporated into the curtailment strategy.
Balancing costs amounted to approximately MEUR 5 for
the year, and the Company has implemented measures
aimed at reducing these costs. At the
Metsälamminkangas (MLK) wind farm, a solution
implemented during mid-2025 aiming to reduce
imbalance caused by overproduction has resulted in
savings.
The Company is setting up its largest wind farms to
provide ancillary services to the grid, and to create
additional revenue streams alongside traditional power
generation. The MLK wind farm is providing ancillary
services and has contributed with revenues during the
year. The qualification of the Karskruv wind farm for
ancillary services is underway and is currently being
processed by the transmission system operator. The
Company is actively working to implement ancillary
services at additional wind power assets in the portfolio.
Proportionate operating expenses amounted to
MEUR 19.0 for the year in line with the updated guidance,
which reflects higher balancing costs in Finland and
Sweden. Unit operating expenses amounted to EUR 24
per MWh for the year and were impacted by the
increased balancing costs, coupled with lower-than-
expected proportionate power generation volumes.
Operational portfolio
The Company has a diversified portfolio consisting of
ownership in around 250 operational wind turbines in
more than 50 sites across the Nordics, which have an
estimated long-term proportionate annual power
generation of around 1,000 GWh, excluding curtailments,
and a total proportionate installed capacity of around
380 MW. Around 80 percent of the operational portfolio is
located in Sweden, mainly in the SE3 and SE4 price areas,
while the remaining 20 percent is in Finland. Availability
warranties are in place for a majority of the Company’s
assets, which guarantees the availability of the turbines
and gives the Company protection against downtime
and outages.
In Sweden, the Company owns 100 percent of the
Karskruv wind farm, which has an installed capacity of
86 MW and is in the SE4 price area.
Another large production hub for the Company in
Sweden is situated at Näsudden on Gotland, which is a
pioneering region for wind power in Sweden and where
the Company has its operational office. The production
hub consists of ownership in five wind farms, with a
combined proportionate installed capacity of around
64 MW in the SE3 price area.
In Finland, the Company owns 50 percent of the MLK wind
farm, which has a proportionate installed capacity of 66
MW.

Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025 11
Greenfield portfolio
The Company is advancing a large-scale greenfield
project portfolio across the UK, Germany, and France,
focused on solar, battery and data centre projects, where
the strategy is to progress projects to key milestones and
monetise before incurring significant development costs.
Within the Nordic portfolio, the Company is developing
small and mid-scale greenfield projects in wind, solar
and batteries, and has optionality to retain selected
projects to support cost-effective production growth and
strengthen the long-term asset base.
UK
Following the now-concluded grid reform process, the
Company has secured grid access for six large-scale
projects with a total estimated capacity of 2.9 GW. Of
these, three are solar energy projects with a combined
estimated capacity of 1.8 GW. The remaining three are
data centre projects with a combined estimated
capacity of 1.1 GW. Binding grid offers, together with
further details around grid connection dates, are
expected to be received during the second half of 2026.
With both land and grid access secured, the projects are
at the ready-to-permit stage, and the Company is
evaluating divestment options.
In addition to the grid-secured projects, the Company
retains a pipeline of large-scale projects. These projects
may be awarded grid access at a later stage, as the
current grid access is constrained by zonal capacity
limitations set by the energy system operator. These
limitations are expected to change over time and will be
evaluated in the light of planned grid reinforcements,
network upgrades and evolving demand.
Germany
In 2025, the Company started monetising its greenfield
pipeline in Germany and entered into agreements to sell
four agricultural solar (Agri-PV) projects, and continued
to make good progress across the remaining portfolio.
In July 2025, the Company sold its first Agri-PV project
with an installed capacity of 76 MW for a total
consideration of MEUR 4.0 which was recognised in 2025.
MEUR 2.0 was paid at closing at the end of July 2025 and
the payment of the remaining consideration of MEUR 2.0
is subject to the fulfilment of two conditions: (i) municipal
approval of the zoning plan (Satzungsbeschluss) and (ii)
EU Commission approval of the German Solar Package 1
legislation. The project is expected to reach ready-to-
build in 2026, and to have a commercial operation date
in 2028.
In December 2025, the Company entered into an
agreement to sell a portfolio of three Agri-PV projects
with a combined estimated installed capacity of 234 MW
for a total consideration of up to MEUR 14. The projects
are being sold in a pre-ready-to-permit stage and
closing for each project is subject to fulfilment of closing
conditions linked to securing land and a suitable grid
indication. The total consideration is split between
consideration payable in milestones subject to fulfilment
of development milestones up to the ready-to-build
stage and reimbursement of development expenditure.
Under the milestone based consideration, 40 percent is
received by the ready-to-permit milestone, with the
remaining 60 percent received upon achievement of the
ready-to-build milestone. Closing for the first project,
with an estimated installed capacity of 93 MW occurred
in January 2026. The closing payment and the first
milestone payment were received in January and
February 2026, respectively, together totalling MEUR 1.6
and representing 30 percent of the consideration for this
project. The projects are expected to reach the ready-to-
permit stage in 2026 and the ready-to-build stage in
2027, subject to obtaining favourable permit approvals
and grid reservations. Orrön Energy will continue
developing the projects up until the ready-to-build
stage.
At the end of the year, the Company had approximately
160 MW of Agri-PV projects with municipal approvals in
place. After the balance sheet date, the Company has
secured municipal approval for an additional 120 MW.
The Company continues to actively mature a range of
additional solar and battery projects towards key
development milestones, including a portfolio of large-
scale battery projects, where the Company expects the
first battery projects to reach the ready-to-permit
milestone in 2026.
France
In France, the Company continues to build land positions
and is scaling up activities and progressing its first
projects towards the ready-to-permit milestone.
Nordics
In the Nordics, the Company is progressing a diverse
pipeline of stand-alone and co-located project
opportunities with an estimated total capacity of around
1 GW. The opportunities range from early-stage projects
in the screening phase, through to projects with
construction permits in place moving towards
investment decisions.

Directors’ Report - Financial review
Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025 13
Financial review
Revenue and results
EBITDA for the year amounted to MEUR -10.3 compared to
MEUR -1.6 in the previous year, which was impacted by
the accounting profit of MEUR 10.9 from the sale of the
Company’s interest in the company owning the
Leikanger hydropower plant.
Revenue and other income
Revenue from power generation for the year amounted
to MEUR 24.9 (MEUR 25.7) and was impacted by lower
volumes compared to the previous year due to low wind
speeds and voluntary curtailment during periods of low
electricity prices in certain price areas.
Revenue from project sales for the year amounted to
MEUR 4.0 (MEUR –) and represented the consideration
from the sale of the Company’s first 76 MW solar project
in Germany. The total consideration amounts to MEUR
4.0, of which MEUR 2.0 is contingent upon municipal and
legislative approvals.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses amounted to MEUR 15.5 (MEUR 12.5)
for the year and were impacted by higher balancing
costs compared to the previous year. The previous year
was impacted by grid compensation benefits and
insurance reimbursements, which reduced the operating
expenses.
General and administration expenses
General and administration expenses amounted to
MEUR 17.9 (MEUR 19.8) for the year, including MEUR 7.0
(MEUR 7.2) for legal and other fees incurred for the
defence of the Company and its former representatives
in the Sudan legal case. A non-cash expense of MEUR 3.0
(MEUR 3.4) relating to long-term incentive plans is part of
the overall general and administration expenses
recorded during the year.
Share in result from associates and joint ventures
Share in result from associates and joint ventures
amounted to MEUR -5.3 (MEUR -6.0) for the year and is
detailed in note 4. Orrön Energy’s portion of the results in
the 50 percent owned joint venture MLK wind farm
amounted to MEUR -5.3 (MEUR -5.8) and the share in
result from other associates and joint ventures
amounted to MEUR – (MEUR -0.2).
Associates and joint ventures are consolidated through
the equity method and the net result of these entities is
therefore recognised as a single line item in the income
statement.
Net financial items
Finance income amounted to MEUR 3.5 (MEUR 5.3) for the
year and is detailed in note 5. Finance income included a
net foreign exchange gain of MEUR 1.1 (MEUR -0.8 loss).
Foreign exchange movements occur on the settlement of
transactions denominated in foreign currencies and the
revaluation of working capital and loan balances to the
prevailing exchange rate at the balance sheet date,
where those monetary assets and liabilities are held in
currencies other than the functional currencies of the
Group’s entities. Orrön Energy is exposed to exchange
rate fluctuations relating to the relationship between Euro
and other currencies. The net foreign exchange gain was
a result of the strengthening of the Swedish krona
against the Euro during the year and related mainly to
the revaluation of external loans and intercompany loan
balances, denominated in other currencies than the
functional currency of the Group company providing the
financing. Interest income of MEUR 2.3 (MEUR 5.3) related
to loans to joint ventures.
Finance costs amounted to MEUR 5.8 (MEUR 7.1) for the
year and are detailed in Note 6. Interest expenses
amounted to MEUR 4.1 (MEUR 4.9) and related to the
Group’s external loans. Other finance costs amounted to
MEUR 1.7 (MEUR 1.4) and represented mainly fees and
other costs in relation to the Company’s revolving credit
facility.
Income tax
Income tax representing a net income amounted to
MEUR 3.2 (MEUR 6.0) for the year and is detailed in Note 7.
This amount was mainly comprised of a deferred tax
income mainly relating to a reduction of accelerated
depreciation allowances in Sweden.
The Group operates in various countries and fiscal
regimes where corporate income tax rates are different
from the regulations in Sweden. Corporate income tax
rates for the Group vary between 14.7 and 29.9 percent
for the business in 2025.
Cash flow and investments
Cash flows from operating activities
Net cash flows from operating activities amounted to
MEUR -9.9 (MEUR -6.3) for the year.
Cash flows from investing activities
Cash flows from investing activities amounted to
MEUR -13.5 (MEUR 32.6) for the year. This included
investments in the renewable energy business of
MEUR -15.9 (MEUR -15.0), which mainly represented
additional shares in existing wind farms and investments
in the Company’s greenfield portfolio. The previous year
was impacted by proceeds from the sale of the
Leikanger hydropower plant of MEUR 28.9 and the
repayment of a loan provided to Leikanger Kraft of
MEUR 20.2, which was reimbursed in connection with the
sale.

Directors’ Report - Financial review
14 Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025
Cash flows from financing activities
Cash flows from financing activities amounted to
MEUR 21.1 (MEUR -30.1) for the year and represented a net
draw down of the credit facility of MEUR 22.0 compared to
a net repayment of MEUR -29.8 the previous year and a
repayment of MEUR -0.5 (MEUR -0.5) of a loan held by a
subsidiary.
Financing and liquidity
The Company has secured a three-year revolving credit
facility, established in July 2023, totalling MEUR 170, with a
floating interest rate set at 1.8 percent above the
reference rate for the borrowed currency. Due to a
temporary situation in which the Company did not meet
one of its covenant requirements, the lenders granted a
waiver in the second quarter of 2025 until 31 March 2026.
As part of the waiver terms, the interest margin was
increased to 2.05 percentage points above the reference
rate. In September 2025, the maturity of the revolving
credit facility was extended by one year to July 2027
through the exercise of an extension option. The
agreement also provides for one additional one-year
extension option.
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings amounted to
MEUR 106.4 compared to MEUR 83.6 at year-end 2024 and
related mainly to an outstanding loan of MEUR 104.5,
compared to MEUR 81.7 at year-end 2024, which has
been drawn under the Group’s revolving credit facility.
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings also included a
long-term loan taken up by a subsidiary of MEUR 1.9
compared to MEUR 1.9 at year-end 2024.
The Company’s net debt amounted to MEUR 90.5
compared to MEUR 66.6 at year-end 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MEUR 15.9
compared to MEUR 17.6 at year-end 2024.
Balance sheet
Projects under development amounted to MEUR 20.8
compared to MEUR 11.5 at year-end 2024 and related to
the Company’s portfolio of greenfield projects. These
projects were previously reported as part of current
assets. Given the materiality of these amounts,
management has decided to present this balance sheet
item as a separate line item in the balance sheet from
2025. Comparative figures have been reclassified to
ensure comparability.
Deferred tax assets amounted to MEUR 45.2 compared to
MEUR 40.2 at year-end 2024, of which MEUR 40.3
(MEUR 38.0) related to tax losses carried forward
expected to be used against future taxable profits and
MEUR 4.9 (MEUR 2.2) to deferred tax calculated on
accelerated depreciation allowances in Sweden.
Deferred tax liabilities amounted to MEUR 11.4 compared
to MEUR 11.4 at year-end 2024 and related to surplus
values recognised on consolidation of acquisitions made
in Sweden.
The Company has entered into financial hedges to
mitigate electricity price volatility and ensure more
predictable revenues. At year-end 2025, the Company
had entered into hedge contracts related to the
Company’s power generation in the SE3 and SE4 price
areas, covering approximately 35 percent of the 2026
proportionate power generation volumes in these price
areas, at an average baseload price of EUR 59 per MWh.
See Note 10 for details on the Company’s financial
hedging.

Climate change and the energy transition
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our
time, and the world needs to transition to energy sources
with lower greenhouse gas emissions to limit global
warming and achieve global climate targets. The energy
transition will require a significant increase of renewable
energy generation, with wind and solar power being
highlighted as crucial to achieve these objectives. Given
the intermittency of renewable energy, energy storage
also plays an important role in the energy transition, due
to its ability to balance supply and demand in power
systems. These technologies form a core part of the
Company’s business model and its commitment to
continued investment in renewable energy and
technologies that help drive the energy transition.
Contributing to the Paris Agreement and EU’s climate
goals
The Paris Agreement has set out a goal to limit global
warming to well below two degrees from pre-industrial
levels. This is backed by renewables targets as set by the
EU to both reduce carbon emissions and secure energy
supplies in Europe, which will require massive
investments over the coming years. The EU has set a
binding target of at least 42.5 percent renewable energy
in final energy consumption by 2030, requiring a
significant increase in installed capacity. By both
producing and investing in the development of new
renewable energy, Orrön Energy is actively contributing
to the achievement of this goal. The EU also seeks to
simplify and accelerate processes for permitting new
energy projects with its initiative REPowerEU, which is set
to further incentivise the expansion of renewable energy
in Europe.
Climate change
Orrön Energy is committed to supporting the energy
transition and mitigate the effects of climate change
through supplying and investing in renewable energy. By
increasing the renewable energy generation in its
countries of operation, Orrön Energy directly contributes
to mitigating climate change while enhancing energy
security for future generations.
In 2025, the Company produced a total of [840] GWh of
renewable energy in the Nordics, corresponding to
around 200,000 tons of CO2e avoided, based on the
average EU-27 mix as published by the IEA. This is
equivalent to powering around 230,000 European
households.
Carbon responsibility
The Company recognises that although its core business
activities significantly contribute to the energy transition,
some of its business activities do result in direct and
indirect carbon emissions. The Company is fully
committed to identifying and implementing measures to
reduce its carbon footprint where feasible.
Achieving carbon neutrality – Scope 1 and 2
Orrön Energy has been carbon neutral across its Scope 1
and 2 emissions since 2024. This is made possible
through:
• Targeted strategies to reduce Scope 1 and 2
emissions,
• offsetting residual Scope 1 emissions that cannot
yet be fully avoided with high-quality carbon offsets
certified under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS),
and
• actively reducing Scope 2 (market-based)
emissions through fossil-free agreements with its
largest electricity suppliers and cancellation of the
Company’s own Guarantees of Origins to neutralise
remaining emissions.
The Company is dedicated to continuing exploring
opportunities to minimise its own climate impact, while
actively contributing to the decarbonisation of energy
systems by supplying renewable energy. This dual
approach ensures that carbon responsibility is
integrated across the Company’s operations and drives
substantial progress towards a sustainable future.
Orrön Energy’s carbon emissions
The following section provides more detailed information
around Orrön Energy’s carbon emissions and reporting
principles. The carbon emissions have been identified
===== SIDA 18 =====
Directors’ Report - Sustainability Report
18 Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025
and reported in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol
(GHG Protocol). The carbon emissions are reported
based on the equity approach, and the Company has
aligned its reporting with its proportionate financial
reporting to reflect the Company’s proportionate
ownership of assets. This reporting boundary has been
chosen to fairly reflect the Company’s climate impact.
The organisational boundary includes Orrön Energy AB
and its affiliates in Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, UK,
Germany, and France.
1 The Company’s location-based Scope 2 emissions based on the
average grid emission intensity, amounted to 95 tCO 2e in 2024 and 69
tCO2e in 2025. The reduction is mainly due to a lower grid emission
factor for the Company’s portfolio in 2025, resulting from an increased
share of renewable energy in the electricity system.
Scope 1 emissions cover the Company’s direct carbon
emission sources. This category consists of emissions
from company-owned cars used for business activities
in Sweden, such as regular maintenance at wind power
facilities, and are quantified based on fuel consumption.
Scope 1 emissions amounted to 8 tCO2e in 2025, which is
a reduction by around 40 percent compared to 2024
levels, due to an increased use of biofuels in the
Company’s service cars.
The Company has actively chosen to add electric
vehicles to its car fleet in Europe, enabling the Company
to grow its business without materially increasing its
direct carbon footprint.
Scope 2 emissions cover the Company’s indirect carbon
emissions linked to energy consumed in offices and
electricity used by wind power facilities to power
operational functions such as turbine rotations, blade
pitching, de-icing systems and curtailments. In 2025, the
Company’s total energy consumption amounted to
4,067 MWh. The total energy consumption increased in
2025 compared to the previous year, mainly as a result
of voluntary production curtailments and the use of
technologies to optimise production and provide
ancillary services, which are inherently more energy-
intensive. These technologies play an important role in
maintaining grid stability and enabling the efficient
integration of intermittent renewable energy sources.
In 2025, the Company entered into an additional carbon-
free electricity supply agreement for the MLK wind farm,
which has reduced the Company’s Scope 2 emissions
compared to 2024 levels, before cancellation of
Guarantees of Origins. By year-end 2025, the Company’s
carbon-free agreements covered over 90 percent of the
operational portfolio.
Scope 3 emissions are reported in line with the GHG
Protocol. These emissions are calculated using a
combination of supplier-specific data, hybrid methods,
and industry estimates to achieve a high level of
accuracy. The Company prioritises the use of the most
specific and accurate data available, with ongoing
initiatives aimed at further enhancing the data.
The Company’s Scope 3 emission sources include
cradle-to-gate emissions of material components
related to operations and developments, emissions from
transportation and maintenance services provided by
third-parties, waste, and business travel. The Company
reports emissions from four material categories, which
are detailed below. These categories have been
assessed as material for the Company’s business and
indirect carbon footprint.
Category 1: Purchased goods and services
The Company reports carbon emissions associated with
third-party services and goods used for regular
maintenance activities, including operational services
and procurement of grease and oil for operational
facilities. The data used is a combination of actual data
and estimates. In 2025, the Company improved its data
collection for purchased goods and snow ploughing
services, resulting in lower carbon emissions reported.
Category 2: Capital goods
This category includes cradle-to-gate emissions from
the Company’s development and construction projects,
which is reported on a project basis and includes indirect
emissions related to the raw materials extraction,
manufacturing, transportation, and installation services.
In 2025, the Company replaced a turbine at its MLK wind
farm, which was the main contributor to the increased
Scope 3 emissions during 2025.
Category 5: Waste generated in operations
Waste is generated at the Company’s operational
facilities, including materials such as oil, grease, and
cardboard. From a materiality perspective, waste
generated at the Company’s offices has been excluded.
Waste emissions are calculated using a hybrid
approach, combining site-specific data provided by the

waste management provider for certain assets and
estimated data to address gaps where specific data is
unavailable. The emission factors are based on
information from the waste management provider. In
2025, the Company improved the data collection
process related to waste, resulting in a higher degree of
site-specific data. Combined with an updated emission
factor and recycling levels from the waste supplier, this
has led to a reduction of reported emissions related to
waste in 2025.
Category 6: Business Travel
Business travel, particularly for project development, site
visits, landowner and stakeholder engagement, also
contributes to Scope 3 emissions. These emissions are
calculated based on information from the Company’s
travel booking platform. To account for travel activities
that may occur outside of this platform, but on behalf of
the Company, a ten percent buffer is added to the
calculated emissions.
The Company actively seeks to manage these emissions
by favouring low-carbon travel options when feasible
and by using virtual meetings when appropriate. During
2025, the Company reduced its business travel, resulting
in lower reported carbon emissions.
Managing Scope 3 carbon emissions
As the Company continues to expand its development
portfolio and develop new projects, the absolute Scope 3
emissions may temporarily increase during years with
ongoing construction activities. However, these
emissions are linked with the development of renewable
energy assets that will increase the renewable energy
generation capacity over the long-term and contribute
to the global energy transition. More energy-efficient
extraction, production, and manufacturing processes,
along with the use of less carbon-intensive materials, are
expected to reduce Scope 3 emissions from the
upstream value chain in the future. In addition, more
efficient recycling processes are expected to reduce the
indirect emissions downstream, and we already saw this
effect in 2025. The Company is committed to reducing its
Scope 3 emissions where feasible by collaborating with
suppliers to promote sustainable practices throughout
the value chain, both upstream and downstream.
Climate-related risks
The Company’s operational assets and development
projects are located onshore and may therefore be
exposed to physical climate-related risks. In 2024, the
Company conducted a physical climate risk assessment
of its operational assets, identifying key climate-related
risks and corresponding mitigation actions. In 2025, the
Company assessed acquisitions made during the year,
evaluating their location-specific exposure to the
identified climate risks.
To mitigate the physical climate-related risks in the
operational portfolio, the Company continuously
evaluates the evolving risk landscape, with region-
specific monitoring and response systems alongside
operational strategies.
The Company’s large-scale greenfield projects undergo
early-stage assessments for climate-related risks and
vulnerabilities of the project site during the zoning,
screening, and permitting stages, well before any
development begins. The Company integrates climate
change adaptation into the planning process, and
resilient design solutions will be implemented to meet
the specific needs of each project location.
More information on how the Company manages risks
relating to climate change can be found in the section
Risk Management on pages 27–30.
EU taxonomy
The EU Taxonomy regulation is a system for classifying
economic activities based on their environmental
impact, aimed at helping investors understand whether
an investment is environmentally sustainable. The
Company has assessed the EU Taxonomy alignment of
its business and developed a framework for self-
assessing the alignment against the EU Taxonomy
criteria. This framework has been subject to a detailed
review by an independent third-party.
Eligibility Assessment
The Company has assessed its economic activities
against the EU Taxonomy criteria and identified key
eligible activities consisting of wind power, solar energy,
and battery storage. These activities form a core part of
the Company’s business and financial results. The
Company is also developing standalone data centres in
the UK, which are currently not considered to meet the
criteria for EU Taxonomy alignment.
Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) Criteria
Climate Adaptation
The Company has conducted a climate risk assessment
of its operational assets and greenfield portfolio to
evaluate the resilience to physical climate risks. The
assessment identified potential climate-related risks,
such as an increased risks of wildfires, erosion and
changes in wind and precipitation patterns, and the
Company has measures in place to monitor and
mitigate negative impacts. Resilience planning is also
integrated into new developments from an early project
stage.

Biodiversity and Ecosystems
The Company has assessed its operational assets
against the EU Taxonomy’s DNSH criteria. The majority of
the Company’s assets have undergone an
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), including a
thorough habitat survey, strict environmental
requirements in terms of environmental and biodiversity
protection, and with regular performance reporting to
authorities in place. Based on this evaluation, the
Company assesses that all of its operational assets
subject to EIAs fulfil the EU Taxonomy requirements of
DNSH to biodiversity and ecosystems.
For operational assets that have not undergone an EIA,
an environmental screening has been conducted, with
regular environmental reporting protocols and
monitoring processes in place. For wind farms, the
Company specifically evaluated their proximity to
biodiversity-sensitive areas and the adequacy of
environmental reporting and monitoring protocols. The
Company is developing large-scale solar and battery
projects with a strong focus on biodiversity and
ecosystem preservation. The Company actively seeks to
avoid high-biodiversity zones during the planning phase
and implements mitigation strategies to minimize
impact on nature and biodiversity. These projects are
expected to undergo extensive habitat surveys and EIAs
prior to becoming operational. For smaller development
projects, the aim is to conduct an environmental
screening to outline the environmental impact, including
monitoring and mitigation measures. The Company also
aims to enhance biodiversity through targeted projects.
Based on this evaluation, the Company assesses that all
of its operational wind farms and solar and battery
projects in 2025 are aligned with the EU Taxonomy’s
DNSH requirements for biodiversity and ecosystems.
Transition to a Circular Economy
The Company has a waste management process
designed to minimise environmental impact and
promote resource efficiency. This process focuses on
minimising waste and increasing recyclability. To
address this, the Company collaborates with reputable
partners to seek to increase recycling levels and will seek
to explore solutions for recycling and repurposing of wind
power blades in future repowering activities.
Compliance with Minimum Social Safeguards
The Company adheres to a robust governance
framework aligned with internationally recognised
principles to ensure its business activities are conducted
in line with the highest ethical standards. The Company
has a Code of Conduct outlining its commitment to
ethical business practices, including, but not limited to,
human rights, labour rights, and anti-corruption. The
Company has a due diligence process in place, along
with a Contractor Declaration that outlines the
Company’s expectations and requirements throughout
the supply chain. The Company therefore concludes that
the EU Taxonomy’s minimum social safeguard
requirements are met.
Continuous Monitoring and Reporting
The Company has monitoring and reporting protocols in
place to maintain alignment with the EU Taxonomy.
These include regular reviews of the Company’s wind
farms to ensure ecological conditions are preserved, with
self-reporting against environmental performance
criteria, and yearly environmental reports to evaluate
performance. This approach ensures transparency for
stakeholders and that the Company’s activities do not
significantly harm biodiversity or ecosystems.
EU Taxonomy KPI:s
Orrön Energy reports its Taxonomy alignment based on
the Company’s consolidated financial results. In 2025, all
of the Company’s turnover, operating expenses and
nearly all of the capital expenditure were generated from
operational wind farms and the greenfield business,
which are all assessed to be aligned with the EU
Taxonomy requirements. Around three percent of the
Company’s capital expenditure related to data centres,
which are currently not considered to meet the EU
Taxonomy’s technical criteria for alignment.
Environmental impact and biodiversity
protection
Orrön Energy’s Environmental Policy outlines the
objectives and expectations for its operations, with
procedures in place to minimise environmental impact
and safeguard biodiversity. The Company operates and
develops renewable energy projects in Sweden, Finland,
the UK, Germany, and France, which are countries with
strict environmental regulations and biodiversity
protection. Orrön Energy follows both regulatory
requirements and industry best practices to uphold high
environmental and biodiversity standards.
The Company’s operational wind farms have undergone
environmental impact assessments or screenings,
supported by regular monitoring and self-reporting to
address site-specific environmental requirements. These
programmes are designed to minimise and mitigate
negative impacts, and include measures such as bird
surveys at specific sites, and waste management
procedures to ensure responsible waste disposal. Annual
environmental reports are produced for the operational
sites to summarise the results of these monitoring
programmes.
Construction and development projects are subject to a
rigorous planning and approval processes by the
authorities, where environmental and biodiversity
protection form an integral part. Projects are planned
and constructed to minimise negative impacts on the
surrounding environment and local communities. Special
consideration is taken to protect the natural environment
around operational assets and actions are implemented
to prevent, manage, and mitigate any negative impacts.
===== SIDA 21 =====
Directors’ Report - Sustainability Report
Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025 21
Site-specific measures can include temporary
production curtailments on wind farms during periods of
bird or bat migration, as well as regular bird surveys.
Environmental impact
For the Company’s operational wind farms, the main
environmental impacts relate to visibility, noise emissions
and shadow formation.
The visual impact of wind farms is considered during the
planning and construction phase and is subject to public
hearing processes. In re-powering projects, the visual
and environmental impact of a wind farm can often be
reduced by replacing older turbines with fewer, more
modern units of higher capacity. Noise levels are strictly
regulated and assessed both prior to construction and
controlled once the wind farm becomes operational. The
maximum allowable limit varies between 35 and 45
decibels depending on location. The Company is using
renowned suppliers to ensure technical equipment, such
as wind turbine blades, adheres to the highest technical
standards. For the Company’s largest wind farms, the
blades are equipped with the latest technology to
minimise noise. Shadow flicker occurs when the sun is
shining through the rotating blades of a wind turbine,
casting a moving shadow. Systems to minimise shadow
flicker are installed on a number of wind turbines close to
residents, with requirement for shadow flicker set at a
maximum of eight hours per year per resident.
A wind turbine has an average lifespan of around 30
years, and the Company has ongoing projects aiming at
extending asset lifetimes and maximising the use of
existing land and grid connections by co-locating wind
power with solar energy and battery solutions. By using
existing facilities and infrastructure, the Company is able
to optimise its operational performance and add more
renewable capacity without degrading land resources. If
a wind turbine is no longer deemed suitable for life
extension activities, the primary strategy will be to
repurpose the existing facilities and infrastructure, and
replace the wind turbine with another type of renewable
energy, such as solar or batteries.
The Company seeks to avoid deforestation and minimise
the environmental impact of its greenfield projects by
favouring the use of industrial sites or farmland where
feasible. Where deforestation cannot be avoided, the
Company will implement actions and have mitigation
plans in place to minimise negative impacts on the
environment and contribute to local ecosystems.
Biodiversity protection
Biodiversity protection is a cornerstone of the Company’s
environmental efforts, and includes ongoing activities
designed to monitor and reduce potential negative
impacts on local ecosystems. Recognising the delicate
balance of nature, the Company employs a
comprehensive approach to safeguard biodiversity at all
stages of its operations. Special attention is given to
protecting endangered species, birds, and bats, around
the wind farms. The Company has implemented
targeted nature conservation projects near migratory
flyways and breeding territories to mitigate potential
risks to these species.
Orrön Energy is developing projects to further enhance
biodiversity in areas around its operational assets. These
projects aim to restore natural habitats and promote a
thriving ecosystem. The Company has ongoing projects
for planting wildflowers, which not only adds to the visual
appeal of the land but also encourages the growth and
establishment of bee populations. This is crucial given
the global decline of bees, which play an essential role in
maintaining ecosystem health. The Company also has a
bee conservation project on the roof of one of its office
buildings, contributing positively to the local ecosystem.
In addition, the Company collaborates with local farming
communities on grazing projects. Grazing by livestock
helps to maintain grassland biodiversity by preventing
the overgrowth of certain plant species, thereby
supporting a diverse range of flora and fauna.
Orrön Energy is integrating biodiversity and
environmental considerations into every stage of the
planning and development of greenfield projects. If the
Company identifies a biodiversity-sensitive area during
the screening and zoning phase, the primary goal is to
avoid this area when possible. When avoidance is not
feasible, the Company implements tailored mitigation
efforts to reduce the impact on biodiversity. This may
involve adjusting turbine placements, solar panels or
battery facilities to avoid key habitats, creating buffer
zones, using wildlife corridors, and designing
infrastructure that accommodates the natural
movement and behaviour of local species.
In the UK, Orrön Energy is setting an industry-leading
standard by developing large-scale greenfield projects
that target a minimum of 10 percent biodiversity net gain.
This approach ensures that each project will result in a
measurable improvement in biodiversity, going beyond
simply mitigating environmental impact to creating
positive ecological outcomes that benefit wildlife,
habitats, and overall ecosystem health.
To ensure continued biodiversity protection, the
Company integrates risk management into its
environmental strategy. Regular monitoring and
assessment of potential environmental risks are
conducted to proactively address and mitigate issues.
More information around how the Company manages
risks relating to environmental impact and biodiversity
protection can be found in the section Risk Management
on pages 27–30.
Environmental performance
No significant environmental incidents or spills were
recorded during 2025.

necessary electrical safety certificates.
Orrön Energy recognises that a strong safety culture also
promotes overall well-being through a positive and
inclusive work environment. This is achieved by
encouraging work-life balance, fostering open
communication, and maintaining a supportive culture
where psychological well-being is prioritised alongside
physical safety.
The Company’s approach to working conditions includes
offering flexible working arrangements where possible,
ensuring access to professional development
opportunities, and supporting continuous learning to
build long-term capabilities within the workforce.
Leadership involvement and regular dialogue with
employees form part of the Company’s actions to
strengthen a supportive and transparent workplace
culture.
To further promote health and overall well-being, Orrön
Energy provides health-related benefits tailored to the
respective office locations, including health allowances,
health insurances, access to gym facilities, and
subsidised gym memberships. The Company also
organise team-building activities that help foster
engagement and strengthen cross-functional
collaboration.
Through these initiatives, the Company aims to build a
resilient and empowered workforce. These actions
contribute to the Company’s broader sustainability goals
by promoting employee satisfaction, fostering retention,
and building strong teams.
Accident response management
The Company has emergency preparedness and
accident response plans in place for its operational
assets to protect the life and health of people, safeguard
local communities and minimise environmental impacts.
The plans cover on-site operational procedures, safety
measures and internal crisis management processes to
ensure effective response and continuity in the event of
an accident.
In 2025, the Company implemented a number of
initiatives to strengthen the accident response
management across the business. These include an
updated overview of its crisis management and
emergency plans, safety drills together with local rescue
teams, and additional health and safety reviews.
For the Company’s construction projects and operational
facilities, all workforce, contractors and visitors are
subject to safety induction sessions to be informed of
site-specific safety guidance and the importance of
reporting all safety observations and incidents. Orrön
Energy has established a no-blame policy, and the
workforce is aware that reporting incidents is
fundamental for lessons learned and to prevent
reoccurrences. All serious incidents are investigated to
identify learnings and improvement actions to prevent
reoccurrences. The Company’s Health and Safety Policy
ensures that individuals will not face reprisals during this
process.
The Company also uses contractors to carry out work at
operational sites, such as maintenance at sites located
far away from the Company’s technical office, and to
work on various projects. Contractors are chosen and
assessed with respect to health, safety, and environment
and quality.

Strong and inclusive communities
Orrön Energy views strong community engagement as
being essential to the success of the business and is
collaborating with several local organisations to support
and contribute to the local communities around its
operational assets. This includes for example
collaboration with local stakeholders such as farmers,
landowners, Indigenous Peoples, and hunting clubs. In
addition, local workforce and businesses are utilised
where possible during construction activities.
The Company is striving to have a positive social impact
through its operational activities and contributes to local
communities in the form of community funds, taxes, and
work opportunities among others to support
communities throughout the lifecycle of the assets.
In 2025, the Company strengthened its engagement with
local stakeholders by supporting a public community
event near the MLK wind farm.
Wider societal impact

Safeguarding human rights
Respect for and safeguarding of human rights is a core
principle in how Orrön Energy conducts its business. The
Company endorses human rights protection in line with
internationally recognised frameworks, such as the
United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and the
United Nations Global Compact principles. This
commitment is embedded in the Company’s Code of
Conduct and related policies, further supported by
internal guidelines and procedures.
While renewable energy projects deliver significant
climate and societal benefits, the Company recognises
that both operational and development activities may
also give rise to human rights risks, particularly in the
wider supply chain. Through human rights due diligence,
the Company works actively to identify, prevent and
mitigate potential negative impacts.
In 2025, the Company reviewed its business activities to
identify potential human rights risks. This review
strengthened the Company’s stakeholder engagement
practices and resulted in specific guidelines for dialogue
with Indigenous Peoples during development activities.
Orrön Energy acknowledges and respects the rights of
Indigenous Peoples, and aims to engage in respect of
Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) for
developments that may affect them, ensuring early,
transparent, and inclusive engagement.
Orrön Energy has also reviewed its supply chain risks to
better understand and address potential environmental,
social, and governance concerns linked to its business
activities. The review identified heightened risks for
adverse human rights impact in the procurement of
batteries and solar panels, particularly when sourced
from high-risk regions. To mitigate these risks, the
Company has a due diligence procedure in place,
focussing on increased supplier transparency for
material provenance and adherence to ethical supply
chain practices.

Responsible supply chains
The Company conducts supply chain due diligence for
material procurement activities, to reduce and manage
potential sustainability risks and uphold high ethical
standards. To reinforce this commitment, Orrön Energy
requires suppliers to sign the Company’s Contractor
Declaration. This declaration sets clear expectations
regarding ethical conduct, adherence to international
human rights standards, and environmental
responsibility across the suppliers’ operations and wider
value chains. Suppliers are also required to meet
specified quality standards and comply with the
principles outlined in the Company’s Code of Conduct.
Through these measures, the Company enforces
compliance with sustainability principles across both
direct and indirect supply chains.
Strengthened IT and cybersecurity framework
As an energy provider, Orrön Energy’s operations are
increasingly reliant on advanced technology and digital
control systems. Safeguarding these systems is critical to
ensuring secure, reliable, and resilient operations.
Cybersecurity is embedded in the Company’s
governance and risk management practices. In 2025, the
Company strengthen its IT and cybersecurity framework
to enhance its ability to Identify, prevent and mitigate
potential risks. The Company further formalised its
approach through the adoption of a new corporate
policy, the "IT Security and Data Protection Policy". Key
actions include conducting vulnerability analyses across
operational assets, upgrading infrastructure and
reinforcing access controls. In addition, cybersecurity is
integrated into the Company’s supplier due diligence
process, requiring third parties to meet defined
standards and align with upcoming regulations such as
the EU’s Network and Information Security Directive
(NIS2).
Employees receive regular training on phishing, data
privacy, and evolving cyber threats, ensuring awareness
and accountability across the organisation.
More information can be found in the Company’s IT
Security and Data Protection Policy.
Whistleblowing policy
The Company’s whistleblowing policy provides a means
for employees, contractors and other stakeholders to
raise legitimate concerns regarding misconduct in the
workplace and the wider value chain. Whistleblowers’
identities are kept anonymous upon request and are
protected against retaliation. Orrön Energy has a
whistleblowing system enabling reporting at any time
through an e-mail designated for whistleblowing. All
whistleblowing reports are duly investigated and
reported to the Board of Directors.
In 2025, no whistleblowing cases were reported.
Anti-corruption, anti-fraud and anti-money laundering
policy
The Company’s anti-corruption, anti-fraud and anti-
money laundering policy ensures that everyone working
for or on behalf of the Company understands what
activities constitute corruption and that all forms of
corruption are strictly prohibited at Orrön Energy.
Compliance trainings are conducted on a regular basis,
and the Company encourages alleged cases to be
reported. All alleged cases of corruption are investigated,
and appropriate actions are taken. In addition, anti-
corruption forms part of contractor evaluations. In the
event of non-compliance and depending on the severity
thereof, contracts may be terminated, or remedial
actions sought. Under the Policy, political donations and
lobbying are also prohibited.
In 2025, there were no cases of corruption, facilitation
payments, fraud, money laundering, anti-competitive
behaviour, fines or non-monetary sanctions for non-
compliance. The Company does not have any political
involvement and does not actively take part in lobbying
activities. There were no financial contributions made to
political groups.

Directors’ Report - Risk Management
Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025 27
Risk Management
Orrön Energy places risk management responsibility at
all levels within the Company to continually identify,
understand and manage threats and opportunities
affecting the business. This enables the Company to
make informed decisions and to prioritise control
activities and resources to deal effectively with any
potential threats and opportunities.
Orrön Energy’s business is exposed to changes in energy
prices, which in turn are dependent on macro-economic
factors and geopolitical conditions. The Company’s
operations impact the surrounding environment, and
operational processes are associated with occupational
health and safety risks. As a growing business with an
expanding geographical and operational scope, the
operational risks evolve, requiring continuous adaptation
and risk management.
Access to land, grid connections and
permits
Risk: The construction, operation, and life extension of
renewable assets require the Company to obtain,
maintain and renew necessary permits, leases, grid
connections, and rights. Inconsistent or shifting
government policies, opposition from local stakeholders,
or lengthy bureaucratic procedures may lead to project
delays, increased costs, or the inability to secure
necessary approvals. Failure to receive necessary
approvals could impact the ability to maintain or
increase the Company’s power generation over time.
Response: The Company’s asset managers continuously
ensure that valid permits, leases, grid connections, and
rights are being maintained for each asset in the
portfolio. A continuous and open dialogue helps to
develop the business, and this exchange of information
increases the Company’s awareness of stakeholder
issues, risks, and opportunities. This risk is also managed
through the Company’s screening process when
searching for new projects where these factors are
always considered.
Changes in laws, tax and regulations
Risk: Operations are subject to environmental, tax and
other regulations. Changes to applicable laws and
regulations could negatively affect the Company, lead to
investigations, litigations, negative financial impact,
reputational damage and cancellation or modification of
contractual rights.
Response: Orrön Energy monitors legal developments in
relevant fields, follows up and ensures compliance with
and adherence to applicable laws and regulations. A
robust corporate governance framework is in place to
ensure the Company acts in accordance with best
business practice and high standards of corporate
citizenship.
Climate change
Risk: Global warming may lead to gradual climate
changes, such as shifts in wind patterns, rising
temperatures, increasing sea levels as well as more
acute weather events such as storms, landslides, and
wildfires, which could impact the Company’s operational
assets.
Response: As a renewable energy producer, Orrön
Energy is making a significant contribution to mitigate
the effects of climate change by increasing the share of
renewable power generation in its countries of operation.
However, the Company’s physical assets are exposed to
the effects of climate change. The Company has
conducted a climate risk assessment of its operational
assets and development projects to evaluate the
physical risks associated with climate change.
Acquisitions and new developments are assessed
against the same criteria to ensure continued resilience
and integration into the Company’s risk management
framework. The Company will continue to evaluate risks
and opportunities related to climate change and will
seek to reduce both transitional and physical climate
related risks.
Cyber security
Risk: There is potential for cyber intrusion into the
Company’s systems or networks leading to operational
disruptions, financial loss, data and information loss,
data privacy infringement, or system irregularities. The
Company’s ability to deliver and sell power may also be
affected by external threats and disruptions to grid and
network systems.
Response: As an energy provider, Orrön Energy’s
operations are increasingly reliant on advanced
technology and digital control systems. Safeguarding
these systems is critical to ensuring secure and reliable
power generation and maintaining resilient operations.
The Company has conducted risk assessments and is
continuously strengthening its cyber defence across the
asset base to be able to detect and mitigate potential
threats. IT and cyber security are also integrated into
procurement processes and supplier due diligence. The
Company focuses on preventive measures, including
awareness campaigns and training on cyber security
risks.
Digital disruption, new technology and AI
Risk: Failure to adapt to emerging technologies,
integrate AI effectively and safely, or comply with data
privacy requirements may result in operational
===== SIDA 28 =====
Directors’ Report - Risk Management
28 Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025
inefficiencies, loss of market share, reputational harm,
and increased regulatory scrutiny.
Response: To address this risk, Orrön Energy continuously
monitors the development of emerging technologies, AI
advancements, and evolving data privacy regulations to
ensure compliance efficiency, and responsible
innovation. Employee awareness training on AI and data
protection further strengthens the Company’s ability to
leverage technological advancements while maintaining
compliance with regulatory requirements.
Compliance
Risk: Failure to comply with applicable laws and
regulations, including but not limited to handling of
inside information, anti-bribery, anti-corruption, data
privacy, and environmental laws, may result in
substantial fines, penalties or legal proceedings. Such
non-compliance could also harm the Company’s
reputation, erode stakeholder trust, and negatively
impact financial performance and long-term
sustainability.
Response: Orrön Energy operates according to the
highest level of legal and ethical standards, ensured
through the consistent application of the Code of
Conduct and policies and procedures. Regular training is
conducted to communicate expectations of legal
compliance and ethical business conduct to staff. The
Company’s whistleblowing mechanism allows
stakeholders to report any concerns on ethics and
compliance, and helps to ensure protection exists when
any individual reports on suspicions of wrongdoing.
Divestments and acquisitions
Risk: There is a risk that divestments and acquisitions
made do not deliver the expected outcome. This could
be due to inaccurate disclosures, residual contractual
obligations, counterparty credit risks and unforeseen
future events, which could lead to financial loss through
value erosion, indemnity payments, potential
reputational damage, and strained relationships.
Response: Orrön Energy conducts thorough commercial,
legal, financial and technical due diligence to assess
risks associated with transactions and relies on
experienced internal teams and external advisers to
validate key assumptions. Transactions and contractual
protections are designed to limit exposure to
inaccuracies or unexpected liabilities, and counterparties
are evaluated for financial strength and reliability. Post-
completion monitoring and regular reporting provide
oversight to ensure that any emerging issues are
identified and addressed.
Financial reporting
Risk: The risk associated with delayed or inaccurate
financial information could adversely affect the delivery
or quality of external reporting, posing a financial
reporting risk for the Company. Such issues may result in
regulatory action, fiscal uncertainty, shareholder lawsuits
and loss of investor confidence.
Response: To address this risk, Orrön Energy has
established a strong internal control framework, with
well-defined financial processes in place. Internal
controls are applied to the financial reporting process,
which undergoes rigorous monthly management
reporting procedures. The accuracy and reliability of
financial reporting are further ensured through internal
reviews and external audits.
Interest rate and currency
Risk: As a result of the Company carrying debt, a rise in
interest rates risks affects the Company’s earnings and
cash flow potential. A foreign exchange risk exists in
relation to market fluctuations of foreign currencies,
given that the underlying value of the Company’s assets
is predominantly EUR denominated, whilst certain costs
are denominated in other currencies.
Response: The exposure to interest rate and currency
risks is continuously assessed and monitored. Hedging
instruments may be used to manage this risk and the
hedging process is subject to robust internal controls.
The Company has drawn debt through a revolving credit
facility and aims to maintain a strong balance sheet to
limit its exposure to negative impacts from rising interest
rates.
Liquidity and funding
Risk: Investment and cost overruns or production
underperformance may lead to the Company being
unable to fund its financial commitments from cash flow,
debt or equity.
Response: Orrön Energy mitigates this risk through
conscious financial planning and by regular cash flow
forecasting. Access to the capital markets is supported
by an active investor relations strategy. The Company
also strives to maintain an effective asset management
strategy to sustain optimal asset performance levels to
maximise cash flow and borrowing capacity.
Legacy claims
Risk: New or previously unknown legal claims, disputes,
or regulatory actions which relate to the legacy oil and
gas Exploration and Production (“E&P”) business, which
was sold in 2022, may arise in the future. These may, for
example, relate to historical operations, environmental
obligations, employee matters, regulatory and tax
matters or contractual relationships that existed prior to
the sale of the E&P business. This could lead to financial
exposure through legal costs, settlements or fines,
reputational damage, and significant use of internal
resources due to prolonged dispute resolution.
===== SIDA 29 =====
Directors’ Report - Risk Management
Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025 29
Response: Contractual provisions mitigate the
Company’s exposure to claims related to the legacy E&P
business. Legacy risks are monitored and reported to
senior management and the Board to ensure effective
oversight and prompt decision-making should issues
arise. Relevant documentation from the legacy E&P
business is retained to enable timely, and well-informed
responses should issues arise.
Low valuation of development projects
Risk: The Company continuously invests in its portfolio of
early-stage greenfield projects in onshore wind, solar,
batteries and data centres in the Nordics, the UK,
Germany, and France. Inability to recover the value of
investments made in development projects may
constitute a risk for the Company
Response: Orrön Energy mitigates this risk through
careful feasibility studies and market analyses before
initiating any development projects. The Company
remains informed of geopolitical changes that may
affect its development projects and engages in dialogue
as needed to ensure its projects remain well-positioned.
The Company’s business strategy for greenfield
developments in the UK, Germany, and France
specifically consists of developing and monetising large-
scale projects prior to incurring significant development
expenditures, which is also a mitigating factor.
Additionally, robust financial controls and monitoring
mechanisms throughout the project lifecycle allow for
early identification of potential risks. Continuous
reassessment and adaptation of strategies based on
changing market conditions and regulatory
environments are integral to safeguarding the value of
investments.
Market conditions
Risk: The Company’s shareholder value is directly linked
to its ability to meet stakeholder expectations, to
generate value through existing business strategies and
to adapt to changing market conditions. The geopolitical
climate may lead to volatile market conditions, which in
turn impact the Company. Prolonged periods of low
achieved electricity prices, escalating grid and other
variable costs, heightened capture price discounts,
inflation, changes to government policies, or other
market uncertainties have the potential to undermine
the profitability of the Company’s assets. Consequently,
this could impact financial earnings, cash flow
generation, and the overall liquidity position of the
Company.
Response: The energy sector is accustomed to the highs
and lows of economic and price cycles. Orrön Energy
mitigates the impact of fluctuating energy prices and
other variable costs by maintaining a strong balance
sheet, implementing operational strategies to avoid
unprofitable power generation, and having flexible
capital commitments, to minimise the potential impact
of weak market conditions. In addition, the Company has
robust internal and external monitoring processes in
place, including long-term financial forecasting and
liquidity tests, and continuously assesses asset
valuations and debt capacity, enabling management to
forecast a potential liquidity shortage well ahead of time.
Through regular updates of the long-term financial
forecast, the Company stress tests the business for
prolonged periods of lower energy prices.
Negative outcome in the Sudan process
Risk: A negative outcome in the ongoing Sudan process
concerning the indictment of two former representatives
of the Company by the Swedish Prosecution Authority in
relation to past activities in Sudan (1999–2003), poses
potential financial and reputational risks for the
Company. This could include challenges to secure
reasonable financing terms, retaining sufficient liquidity
as well as payment of financial compensation or
penalties.
Response: The Company refutes that there are any
grounds for allegations of wrongdoing by any of its
former representatives and sees no circumstance in
which a corporate fine or forfeiture could become
payable. Despite the Company’s confidence in a
favourable outcome in Court, it has a robust legal
defence strategy and is actively defending itself in the
legal process. More information on the case, why the
Company believes it is unfounded, and the ongoing legal
process can be found on
www.lundinsudanlegalcase.com.
Reputational damage from the Sudan
process
Risk: The ongoing Sudan process concerning the
indictment of two former Company representatives by
the Swedish Prosecution Authority in relation to past
activities in Sudan (1999–2003), poses a reputational risk
for the Company. This could manifest in missed business
opportunities, create adverse perceptions among
investors, partners, and lenders, and potentially result in
a negative impact on the Company’s share price.
Response: Orrön Energy maintains a comprehensive
strategy to mitigate the risk of a negative reputational
impact from the ongoing legal case and continues to
actively defend its interests both through the legal
process and in the public domain. This includes
transparent communication with stakeholders and
engagement to ensure an open and informed dialogue.
The Company is convinced that there are no grounds for
any allegations of wrongdoing by any of its former
representatives and will continue to vigorously defend
itself in the legal process. More information on the case,
why the Company believes it is unfounded, and the
ongoing legal process can be found on
www.lundinsudanlegalcase.com.

Directors’ Report - Risk Management
30 Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025
Safe operations
Risk: Failure to maintain safe operations, including
adherence to health, safety, and environmental
standards, could result in workplace accidents, injuries,
negative impacts to local communities, environmental
damage and operational disruptions. Such incidents
may lead to regulatory fines, reputational damage, and
loss of stakeholder confidence, as well as negatively
impacting employee morale and overall business
performance.
Response: Safe operations are a key priority for Orrön
Energy and the Company maintains a strong focus on
health and safety for both employees, contractors and
local communities. All of the Company’s wind farm
technicians are internationally certified according to the
Global Wind Organisation (GWO) requirements or
equivalent, which sets safety standards for personnel
working in the wind power industry. For operational
activities, risk assessments are conducted, including the
identification of potential hazards, and remote
monitoring systems are in place to detect and address
operational disruptions at an early stage. Individual
safety measures are always adapted to local
circumstances and may vary across the organisation
and the various operational tasks. For example,
employees and contractors involved in construction
work, work in confined spaces or installation work at
height are subject to specific safety measures. All serious
incidents are investigated, and the Company’s policies
ensure that no individuals face reprisal during this
process.
Supply chain
Risk: Supply chain disruptions, particularly for solar and
battery components, could lead to strained capacity and
delays in development projects. The reliance on
concentrated production of solar panels and batteries to
specific regions in the world poses additional geopolitical
risks, including potential import duties, taxes, and bans
on certain components. Limited access to rare-earth
metals and other critical materials essential for
renewable energy technology is a risk, which may
potentially increase project costs and affect project
timelines.
Response: Orrön Energy actively mitigates these risks
through regular engagement with key suppliers to
ensure timely procurement of components and spare
parts. The Company has a diversified supplier base and
monitors geopolitical developments to ensure supply
chain resilience and reduced exposure to geopolitical
risks. Where possible, spare parts are kept in stock to
mitigate potential delays.
Unscheduled interruption of production
Risk: Production consists of several continuous
processes, and any unplanned interruption of production
can affect the Company’s overall power generation and
financial performance. Unplanned interruptions of
production may occur due to for example unfavourable
weather conditions, technical problems with the
Company’s producing assets or the overlying
transmission grid, or accidents.
Response: Preventive maintenance is carried out at all
wind power facilities. The goal is to minimise the impact
for the Company, which is achieved by continuously
developing prevention and mitigation efforts in the
operations, and partly by introducing and developing
groupwide insurance solutions. In addition, availability
warranties are in place for a majority of the Company’s
power generation.

This Corporate Governance Report has been prepared in
accordance with the Swedish Companies Act (SFS 2005:551),
the Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995:1554) and the Swedish
Corporate Governance Code and has been subject to a
review by the Company’s statutory auditor.
Orrön Energy reports one deviation from rule 1.2 of the
Corporate Governance Code in 2025, as the Board decided
to hold the 2025 AGM as a digital meeting in line with the
updated Articles of Association. This decision was motivated
by the Company’s large international shareholder base, the
limited number of physically attending shareholders at the
latest General Meetings, and, considering the disruptive and
hostile behaviour of a number of shareholders and their
advisors at the Annual General Meeting 2024, including
health and safety aspects. A “townhall” meeting for
shareholders was held on 20 May 2025, giving the
shareholders an opportunity to meet and ask questions to
representatives of the Board and management team. There
were no infringements of applicable stock exchange rules
during the year, nor any breaches of good practice on the
securities market.
Orrön Energy AB (publ), company registration number
556610-8055, has its corporate head office at
Hovslagargatan 5, 111 48 Stockholm, Sweden and the
registered seat of the Board of Directors is Stockholm,
Sweden. The Company’s website is www.orron.com.
2026 Annual General Meeting
The 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on 1
April 2026 at 11.00 CEST as a digital meeting combined with
an option to vote by post in advance of the AGM.
Shareholders may choose to exercise their voting rights at
the AGM by attending online, through a proxy or by postal
voting. Shareholders who wish to attend the meeting must
be recorded in the share register maintained by Euroclear
Sweden on the day falling six business days prior to the
meeting, of if the shares are registered in the name of a
nominee, request that the nominee registers the shares in
their own name for voting purposes on the day falling four
business days prior to the meeting, and must notify the
Company of their intention to attend the AGM no later than
the date set out in the notice of the AGM. Further information
about registration to and attendance at the AGM, as well as
voting by mail or proxy, can be found in the notice of the
AGM, available on the Company’s website.

External auditor of the Company
Statutory auditor
Orrön Energy’s statutory auditor audits annually the
Company’s financial statements, the consolidated
financial statements, the Board’s and the CEO’s
administration of the Company’s affairs and reports on
the Corporate Governance Report. In addition, the
auditor performs a review of the Company’s half year
report and issues a statement regarding the Company’s
compliance with the Policy on Remuneration.
The Board meets at least once a year with the auditor
without any member of Group management present at
the meeting. In addition, the auditor participates
regularly in Audit Committee meetings, in particular in
connection with the Company’s half year and year-end
reports. Group entities outside of Sweden are audited in
accordance with local rules and regulations.
The Company’s statutory auditor is the registered
accounting firm Ernst & Young AB, which was first elected
as the Company’s statutory auditor at the 2020 AGM. The
auditor’s fees are described in the notes to the financial
statements, see Note 23 on page 74 and Note 7 on page
81. The auditor’s fees also detail payments made for
assignments outside the regular audit mandate. Such
assignments are kept to a minimum to ensure the
auditor’s independence towards the Company and
generally require prior approval of the Company’s Audit
Committee.
Nomination Committee
The Nomination Committee is formed in accordance with
the Company’s Nomination Committee Process, a
revised version of which was approved at the 2024 AGM.
According to the Process, the Company shall invite three
of the larger shareholders of the Company based on
shareholdings as per 1 August each year to form the
Nomination Committee, however, the members are,
regardless of how they are appointed, required to
promote the interests of all shareholders of the
Company.
The Nomination Committee conducts its task in
accordance with the Swedish Corporate Governance
Code. The tasks of the Nomination Committee include
making recommendations to the shareholders regarding
the election of the Chair of the AGM, election of Board
members and the Chair of the Board, remuneration of
the Chair and other Board members, including
remuneration for Board Committee work, election of the
statutory auditor, and remuneration of the statutory
auditor. Shareholders may submit proposals to the
Nomination Committee by e-mail to
nomcom@orron.com.
Nomination Committee for the 2025 AGM

Directors’ Report - Corporate Governance Report
Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025 35
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of Orrön Energy is responsible for
the organisation of the Company and management of
the Company’s operations. The Board is to manage the
Company’s affairs in the interests of the Company and
all shareholders with the aim of creating long-term
sustainable shareholder value. To achieve this, the Board
should at all times have an appropriate and diverse
composition considering the current and expected
development of the operations, with Board members
from a wide range of backgrounds that possess both
individually and collectively the necessary experience
and expertise.
Composition of the Board
The Board of Orrön Energy shall, according to the Articles
of Association, consist of a minimum of three and a
maximum of ten directors without deputies, and the AGM
decides the final number each year. The Board members
are elected for a period of one year. There are no deputy
members and no members appointed by employee
organisations. In addition, the Board is supported by a
corporate secretary, the Company’s General Counsel,
Henrika Frykman, who is not a Board member.
The Nomination Committee for the 2025 AGM considered
that the Board of six members elected at the 2025 AGM
was, taking into consideration the Company’s planned
future business and operations, sustainability strategy,
and the economic and financial circumstances generally
in which the Company operates, composed of a broad
and versatile group of knowledgeable and skilled
individuals who were motivated and prepared to
undertake the tasks required of the Board in today’s
business environment.
The Board members possess substantial expertise and
experience, and in addition, the Board fulfils the
requirements regarding independence in relation to the
Company, Group management and the Company’s
major shareholders. Such expertise and experience
relate to the Company’s core area of operation in the
renewable energy sector, public company financial
matters, Swedish practice and compliance matters,
sustainability matters, corporate responsibility, and
health, safety, and the environment.
Gender balance was specifically discussed and the
Nomination Committee noted that 33 percent of the
proposed Board for election at the 2025 AGM were of the
less represented gender. Whilst the percentage is lower
than the recommendation of the Swedish Corporate
Governance Board to have 40 percent of members being
of the less represented gender, the Nomination
Committee considered that the skills and broad
experience of the Board members, as well as the
shareholder structure of the Company with two major
shareholders, should be weighed against the
recommendation. The Nomination Committee supports
the ambition of the Swedish Corporate Governance
Board regarding gender balance and believes that it is
important to continue to strive for gender balance when
future changes in the composition of the Board are
considered.
The Nomination Committee further reviewed the
remuneration of the Board ahead of the 2025 AGM and
decided that no increase should be proposed.
Board meetings and work 2025
The Chair of the Board is responsible for ensuring that the
Board’s work is well organised and conducted in an
efficient manner as well as ensuring that reporting
instructions are upheld for management, as drawn up by
the CEO and as approved by the Board, however, the
Chair does not take part in the day-to-day work. The
Chair maintains close contacts with the CEO to ensure
the Board is at all times sufficiently informed of the
Company’s operations and financial status. Six Board
meetings were held during 2025, and monthly
operational reports were circulated to the Board. The
Board also received an educational presentation on the
European macroeconomic impact on electricity systems
and market organisation, and an educational training
workshop on the physical power markets from Nordpool
Academy.
Evaluation of the Board’s work
An evaluation of the work of the Board was conducted in
the autumn of 2025 through an online survey. The
purpose of the evaluation was to assess the functioning
of the Board and to identify potential areas of
improvement. The results of each individual
questionnaire were summarised to provide an overview
over each focus area. The results were reported to the
Nomination Committee.
Board Committees
To maximise the efficiency of the Board’s work and to
ensure a thorough review of specific issues, the Board
has established a Compensation Committee and an
Audit Committee. The tasks and responsibilities of the
Committees are detailed in the terms of reference of
each Committee, which are annually adopted as part of
the Rules of Procedure of the Board. Minutes are kept at
Committee meetings and matters discussed are
reported to the Board. In addition, informal contacts take
place between ordinary meetings as and when required.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee assists the Board in
Group management remuneration matters and receives
information and prepares the Board’s and shareholder
meetings’ decisions on matters relating to the principles
of remuneration, remuneration and other terms of
employment of Group management. The objective of the
Committee in determining compensation for Group
management is to provide a compensation package
that is based on market conditions, is competitive and
takes into account the scope and responsibilities
associated with the position, as well as the skills,
experience and performance of the individual. The
Committee’s tasks also include monitoring and

Sudan
In June 2010, the Swedish Prosecution Authority began a preliminary investigation into alleged complicity in violations of in ternational
humanitarian law in Sudan during 1997–2003.
In November 2021, the Swedish Prosecution Authority brought criminal charges against former representatives of the Company in relation to
past operations in Sudan from 1999 to 2003. The charges also included claims against the Company for a corporate fine of MSEK 3.0 and
forfeiture of economic benefits of MSEK 2,381.3, which according to the Swedish Prosecution Authority represents the value of the gain of MSEK
720.1 that the Company made on the sale of an asset in 2003. The Company refutes that there are a ny grounds for allegations of wrongdoing
by any of its former representatives and sees no circumstance in which a corporate fine or forfeiture could become payable. The claim for
forfeiture of economic benefits was increased from MSEK 1,391.8 by the Swedish Prosecution Authority in August 2023. This lat est increase to
the claimed forfeiture amount means that Swedish Prosecution Auth ority has presented three completely different amounts, based on three
different methodologies, over the past seven years, raising serious questions about the substance and credibility of the Swedish Prosecution
Authority’s claim. It is obvious that the methodology used by the Prosecutor to arrive at the claimed forfeiture amount is fu ndamentally
flawed, leading to an unreasonable forfeiture claim which has no basis in law and is highly speculative. Any potential corporate fine or
forfeiture of economic benefits would only be imposed after an adverse final conclusion of the case against former representa tives of the
Company. The trial at the Stockholm District Court started in September 2023 and is expected to finish during the second quarter 2026.
More information regarding the past activities in Sudan during 1997–2003 can be found on www.lundinsudanlegalcase.com.

Group management
Management structure
Orrön Energy’s Group and local management consist of
highly experienced individuals with extensive industry
experience. The Company’s CEO is responsible for the
management of the day-to-day operations of Orrön
Energy. He is appointed by, and reports to, the Board. He
in turn appoints the other members of Group
management, who assist the CEO in his functions and
duties, and in the implementation of decisions taken and
instructions given by the Board, with the aim of ensuring
that the Company meets its strategic objectives and
continues to deliver responsible growth and long-term
shareholder value.
Investment Committee
Group management, which forms the Company’s
Investment Committee, consists of Daniel Fitzgerald, CEO,
Henrika Frykman, General Counsel and Espen Hennie,
Chief Financial Officer.
The Investment Committee assists the Board in
discharging its responsibilities in overseeing the
Company’s investment portfolio. The role of the
Investment Committee is to determine that the
Company has a clearly articulated investment policy, to
develop, review and recommend to the Board
investment strategies and guidelines in line with the
Company’s overall policy, to review and approve
investment transactions and to monitor compliance with
investment strategies and guidelines. The responsibilities
and duties include considering annual budgets,
supplementary budget approvals, investment proposals,
commitments, acquisition and disposal of assets, and
performing other investment related functions as the
Board may designate.
Group management tasks and duties
The tasks of the CEO and the division of duties between
the Board and the CEO are defined in the Rules of
Procedure and the Board’s instructions to the CEO. In
addition to the overall management of the Company, the
CEO’s tasks include ensuring that the Board receives all
relevant information regarding the Company’s
operations, including profit trends, financial position, and
liquidity, as well as information regarding important
events such as significant disputes, agreements and
developments in important business relations. The CEO is
also responsible for preparing the required information
for Board decisions and for ensuring that the Company
complies with applicable legislation, securities
regulations and other rules such as the Corporate
Governance Code. Furthermore, the CEO maintains
regular contacts with the Company’s stakeholders,
including shareholders, the financial markets, business
partners and public authorities. To fulfil his duties, the
CEO works closely with the Chair of the Board to discuss
the Company’s operations, financial status, up-coming
Board meetings, implementation of decisions and other
matters.
Under the leadership of the CEO, Group management is
responsible for ensuring that the operations are
conducted in compliance with the Code of Conduct, all
Group policies, procedures and guidelines in a
professional, efficient, and responsible manner. Regular
management meetings are held to discuss all
commercial, technical, sustainability, financial, legal, and
other matters within the Group to ensure the established
short- and long-term business objectives and goals will
be met. Group management also travel frequently to
oversee the ongoing operations, seek new business
opportunities and meet with various stakeholders,
including business partners, suppliers, and contractors,
government representatives and financial institutions. In
addition, Group management liaise continuously with the
Board, and in particular the Board Committees, in
respect of ongoing matters and issues that may arise.
Remuneration
Group principles of remuneration
Orrön Energy aims to offer all employees compensation
packages that are competitive and in line with market
conditions. These packages are designed to ensure that
the Group can recruit, motivate, and retain highly skilled
individuals and reward performance that enhances
long-term sustainable shareholder value.
The Group’s compensation packages consist of four
elements, being (i) base salary; (ii) annual variable
remuneration; (iii) long-term incentive plan (LTIP); and
(iv) other benefits. As part of the yearly assessment
process, a performance management process has been
established to align individual and team performance to
the strategic and operational goals and objectives of the
overall business. Individual performance measures are
formally agreed, and key elements of variable
remuneration are clearly linked to the achievement of
such stated and agreed performance measures.
To ensure compensation packages within the Group
remain competitive and in line with market conditions,
the Compensation Committee and the Company may
undertake benchmarking studies.
Remuneration of Board members
The remuneration of the Chair and other Board members
follows the resolution adopted by the AGM. The Board
members are not employed by the Company, do not
receive any salary from the Company and are not
eligible for participation in incentive programmes for
Group management and other employees. The Policy on
Remuneration approved by the 2022 Extraordinary
General Meeting (EGM) also comprises remuneration
paid to Board members for work performed outside the
directorship.

Directors’ Report - Corporate Governance Report
40 Orrön Energy – Annual and Sustainability Report 2025
The remuneration of the Board is detailed further in the
schedule on page 38 and in the notes to the financial
statements, see Note 21 on pages 69–71.
Policy on Remuneration for Group management
The remuneration of Group management follows the
principles that are applicable to all employees, however,
these principles must be approved by the shareholders
at the AGM. The Compensation Committee therefore
prepares for approval by the Board and for submission
for approval to the AGM, a Policy on Remuneration for
Group management when any changes are proposed or
at least once every four years. The Board proposes for
approval to the AGM 2026 the same Policy on
Remuneration for Group Management that was
approved by the 2022 EGM, without any amendments.
The Policy on Remuneration is reproduced below. The
Remuneration Report, which can be found on the
Company’s website, describes in more detail outcomes
and how decisions were taken by the Board and the
Compensation Committee during 2025.
The annual variable remuneration for Group
management is assessed against annual performance
targets that signal and reward the strategic and
operational results and behaviours expected for the year,
which contribute to long-term, sustainable value
creation for Orrön Energy. The performance target
structure, and specific targets and weightings, are
reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee to
ensure that it aligns with the strategic direction and risk
appetite of the Company and the performance target
structure and specific targets are approved by the Board.
Long-term incentive plans
The Company operates long-term share-related
incentive plans for Group management and other
employees. Share option plans were approved by the
2022 EGM and the 2023 and 2024 AGMs (“Share Option
Plans”), and a performance-based incentive plan was
approved by the 2025 AGM (“LTIP 2025”), sharing the
common objective of aligning participants’ interests with
those of shareholders and supporting long-term value
creation.
In the Company’s initial phase of development, the share
price increase that is required for the Share Option Plans
to lead to any payout, was considered to be an
appropriate performance criterion and the best measure
to determine shareholder value creation. At the time, it
was also challenging to find a suitable peer group or
other performance conditions, which would adequately
assess the Company’s performance against the market.
In 2025, the Board considered it appropriate to transition
to a new long-term, performance-based incentive plan,
the LTIP 2025. The primary objectives of the LTIP 2025 are
fully aligned with the previous Share Option Plans, to
ensure continuity in rewarding performance and
commitment, while still ensuring a strong link between
performance and shareholder value.
Under the LTIP 2025, participants will be eligible to receive
shares in the Company, provided they maintain
continuous employment and meet specific performance
conditions over a three-year period. Vesting will occur
over three years with performance conditions measured
during the period between 1 January and 31 March in the
year of award and vesting, respectively. The
performance conditions are based on the Company’s
relative Total Shareholder Return measured against a
peer group of companies with a 75 percent weighting,
and strategic performance conditions tied to the
Company’s long-term strategy with a 25 percent
weighting.
It was also considered that the LTIP 2025, as the Share
Options Plans in the past, is best financed through
delivery of shares allowing the Company to continue to
allocate all available capital towards growth.
Shares received through the LTIP 2025 are further subject
to certain disposal restrictions to ensure that Group
management build towards a meaningful shareholding
in Orrön Energy. The level of shareholding expected of
each management participant is 100 percent (200
percent for the CEO) of the participant’s annual gross
base salary over time by retaining minimum 50 percent
of exercised shares, net of tax. The CEO holds 550,000
shares in the Company and the remainder of Group
management hold 180,000 shares in aggregate as per 31
December 2025.
Performance monitoring and review
The Board is responsible for monitoring and reviewing on
a continuous basis the work and performance of the CEO
and shall carry out at least once a year a formal
performance review. The Board also considered
proposals regarding the compensation of the CEO and
other members of Group management. Neither the CEO
nor other members of Group management were present
at the Board meetings when discussions regarding their
compensation took place.
The tasks of the Compensation Committee also include
monitoring and evaluating the general application of the
Policy on Remuneration, as approved by the
shareholders’ meeting, and the Compensation
Committee prepares a yearly Remuneration Report, for
approval by the Board and the AGM, on the application
of the Policy on Remuneration and the evaluation of
Group management remuneration. As part of its review
process, the statutory auditor of the Company also
verifies on a yearly basis whether the Company has
complied with the Policy on Remuneration. Both reports
are available on the Company’s website.
The remuneration of Group management, including
under the Share Option Plans and the LTIP 2025, is
detailed further in the notes to the financial statements,
see Notes 21 and 22 on pages 69-74.
