5 With more installed capacity than any other utility, DONG Energy is the global leader within offshore wind power Leading market participants within European offshore wind 966 Within offshore wind, DONG Energy is an 150 established world leader as the energy company in the world having developed, constructed an operated the most offshore wind projects Under construction Operational assets Source: Companies' annual accounts, Emerging Energy Research, DONG Energy. All figures are in MW 5

6 DONG Energy is present in key Northern European offshore wind markets The UK is the world's largest market for offshore wind DONG Energy has build more offshore wind parks in the UK than any other developer Denmark pioneered offshore wind and is second only to the UK in terms of installed capacity DONG Energy is the largest operator of offshore wind The Netherlands has set ambitious targets for offshore wind but has yet to implement an attractive incentive system DONG Energy has project rights to three projects in the Netherlands Germany is expected to kick-start significant growth and become the second largest market for offshore wind DONG Energy is developing two projects in Germany 6

No final investment decisions with respect to the projects under development have been made yet 9

10 Offshore wind from pioneering phase to industrial production Current status Project planning, execution, installation and logistics "Ad hoc" stand-alone project planning and execution Vessels available in the market engaged for specific project "Season"-based project specific installation Cross-portfolio planning and continuous execution flow Next generation installation vessel for WTG and foundations Accelerated installation and commissioning concept New optimised installation concepts increasing installation speed Integration between the installation of wind turbines, foundations and electrical infrastructure Large scale sourcing Framework agreement for supply of turbines Project-per-project sourcing of other key components and installation services Cross portfolio sourcing of key components (WTG, foundations, cable/electrical, vessels) Continued cross portfolio sourcing of key components Technological improvements Standard turbine solution through framework agreement with Siemens Basic monopile design adjusted for every project Optimization of turbine to maximise production/output Optimisation of steel monopile design 6-8 MW WTGs Deep water foundations applicable to various sites Optimisation of electrical infrastructure systems O&M, production planning and sales Operations on park-bypark basis Little experience in market with processes/ maintenance/ logistics etc. Portfolio optimization Industrialization of technical, financial and QHSE processes Optimisation of contractual setup & O&M business model Further development of O&M concepts to extract value from geographical O&M clusters 10

12 DONG Energy's experience from the Anholt tender Pros Cons Grid connection and environmental consent in place before tender Significant cost relief for offshore wind parks very far from shore Lower risks Commission deadlines, heavy penalties and short time frame Limited flexibility in the planning process also for our suppliers Risk of an overheated market Fixed price over a period of approximately12 years Predictability Lower risks Geotechnical and environmental surveys were conducted too late Geotechnical survey was insufficient Insecurity and higher risk Unable to use information properly Energinet.dk has ensured location in proximity to end-users Optimal utility of energy 2nd runner up had to abide by their tender for 6 months High risk of delays (no price regulation) Reservation of resources for 6 months 12

13 Timing and flexibility of offshore wind projects Award of concession: Final Investment Decision (FID): Construction start: Commission of 1st WTG: Commission of all WTG's: Anholt 400 MW Q1Q2 Q1 Q4 Q4 Walney 1 183,5 MW Q4 Q2 Q3 Q1Q2 Walney 2 183,5 MW Q4 Q2 Q2Q3Q4 London Array 630 MW Q4 Q2 Q1 Q4 Q1 West of Duddon Sands* 389 MW Q4 Q2 Q1 Borkum Riffgrund 1* 277 MW Q1 Q4 Q2 Q1 * Awaiting FID = Time from concession until commission of all WTG's 13

14 DONG Energy's experience from UK tender rounds Pros Cons Flexibility on the timing of delivery (to some extent) Sourcing can take place for several projects Round 3 - extremely detailed tender requirements Long process (1½ year from tender announcement to site award) Round 3 approach allows developers flexibility within zone Stakeholder concerns can be addressed without influencing capacity Scottish Territorial Waters - Strategic Environmental Assessment after tender Sites awarded to developers may be excluded by the SEA process We don t know how the support regime works after 2017 Difficult to plan projects on a long term basis Generally good experience with UK tender process DONG Energy have been awarded several sites in Round 1, Round 2, Round 2,5 and Scottish Territorial Waters The UK is DONG Energy largest market with 3 projects in operation, 3 projects under construction (Walney, Lincs and London Array) and several projects under development 14

15 DONG Energy's experience from the German market Pros Cons Fixed feed-in tariff without limit on production (FLH) Gives predictability within subsidy period Tariff level not on UK level Tariff might be insufficient for projects far offshore Free grid connection Significant cost relief for offshore wind parks very far from shore Grid connection process regulated in non-binding "position paper" Uncertainty about timing of grid connection BSH* as one-stop-shop authority (intention) Fairly structured permitting process Tariff level decreasing from 2015 (commissioning) Difficult to plan projects online after 2015 Fairly attractive tariff, given the level of security in the income stream Good intension but insufficient/unclear legal framework with high degree of uncertainties * Bundesamts fur Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency) Consenting Authority 15

16 DONG Energy's experience from the Dutch tender rounds Pros Cons Fixed price feed-in tariff Predictability in subsidy period No "beauty contest" element in the tender Price is only criterion without looking at likelihood of realisation Limit on production (FLH per year) FLH limit discriminates efficient technology Project rights expire if project not awarded in tender Missing security regarding project rights prevents expensive investigations and leads to conservative bids New "anti- subsidy" government in the Netherlands, and therefore new political targets within offshore wind energy. DONG Energy's awaits new regime to be in place DONG Energy spend a lot of time and resource to make a realistic bid only to be outbid by someone with an unrealistic price. Uncertain whether the projects will ever be realised. 16

17 Effective industrialisation relies on stable and supportive framework (and flexibility to build up a pipeline) Stable framework is key for large scale investment Stable support mechanism Liquid market with transparent price signals Framework for long term investment planning Reduce Cost of Energy 17
