The European market is setting the pace in the evolution of offshore wind….
Sector “firsts” in the last 24 months:
� Over 20GW installed globally, forecast to grow to 130GW+ by 2030
� £57.5/MWh1 delivery strike price for Moray East and Hornsea 2 in UK
� €35/MWh bid-equivalent LCOE for Danish near-shore3
� Vattenfall secures Hollandse Kust Zuid I and II concessions on a zero-subsidy winning basis (delivery in 2022/23)
� 8.8MW WTGs deployed commercially in 2018 (Aberdeen Bay) with 9.5MW WTGs being produced (Triton Knoll in UK and Northwester II in Belgium)
� Hywind pilot park as the world’s first floating wind farm started operations off the coast of Scotland in Oct-17
Over the past two years we have seen a number of firsts in European offshore wind markets

Assuming these returns work for investors, offshore wind ought to be more attractive owing to investors’ relative ability to deploy more capital in projects
It is worth noting, industry views are still developing on the following key value drivers that will determine the sector’s long-term attractiveness as an asset class:- Project life- O&M strategy and
costs - Turbine availability

Project life +/- 2 yrs
Production +/- 3.0%
Merchant power prices +/- 10.0%
WTG O&M post-contract +/- 15.0%
Inflation rate +/- 0.5%
Turbine availability +/- 1.5%
Upside Downside
Offshore wind economic sensitivities are similar to onshore wind…
The project’s equity value is sensitive toseveral valuation parameters, such as:
� Merchant power prices are a key valuedriver due to the tail of uncontracted cashflows after the EEG remuneration period
� Upside from optimisation in the post-LTPperiod due to more competitive O&Mpricing and cost reductions
� Macroeconomic factors such as inflationrate will play an important role for value
� Project life extension is feasible from atechnical perspective but might comewith reduced availability and increasedoperating costs. It also depends onreceiving an operating permit for the timeafter 25 years from COD 100
Note: Equity value and all sensitivities indexed to €100m
Sample Equity Value Sensitivities for an Operating Offshore Wind Project in Germany (Indexed)Augusta’s extensive sell-side and buy-side experience provides a good understanding of what investors look for and what factors drive value

…and winning bidders can find ways to monetise upside that others can’t
Potential Valuation Upsides
Upside Description
Green Bond Refinancing Some bidders have gained experience in green bonds and are willing to use the proceeds to backlever their equity stake. Assuming backleverage at 2.5% all-in interest, the levered IRR could be lowered from 8% levered to below 6%.
Wake Effect Reduction Internal and external wake effects can be reduced following a technology upgrade from Siemens. However, detailed information on the technology and associated cost are yet to be provided by the Siemens, but this is an item that an investor should get itself familiar with to stand out.
Decommissioning Cash and DSRA Collateral
Legally required decommissioning provision is collateralised by cash that is kept in the SPV, thereby restricting dividend capacity. If collateral was provided in a non-cash impacting form (e.g. via an L/C), equity value could increase materially. Same applies to the DSRA.
Further Repricing of Senior Debt
The senior debt market is offering further margin reductions, seen as low as 120bps for offshore wind in Germany. Any wind financing older than 6 months would likely benefit from a further margin and term renegotiation.
O&M Cost Degressions Many technical advisory firms still promote prudent O&M cost assumptions which basically extend the year 15 cost by inflation post contract. This is particularly for tariff-based projects a very conservative assumption in Augusta’s view, being an anachronism to the recent highly competitive auction results which certainly involve much more market-based views on long-term costs.
Project specific value upsides Projects often come with specific upsides that may or may not realise, such as additional grid capacity becoming available. A leading bidder would be able to attribute some value to such upsides, or structure an earn-out.
In Augusta’s recent buyside offshore activity we identified a number of upsides that could positively affect a project’s valuation
To win a transaction in this market, a winning bidder needs to be prepared to take a view on these items
Other considerations that need careful handling to secure top value include can be: � Unspent contingency; Future investments into production enhancing WTG upgrades (power boost;
blade upgrades); Decommissioning costs vs. residual value; Production ramp-up; Six hour rule implications (specific to Germany); (trade) tax considerations; Sales by co-shareholders
