LTM Revenue from renewables totals over $1.5 billion. Renewables Cost Less than Traditional Power Sources Renewables are the lowest cost form of new generation without incentives. The Levelized Cost of Energy from Wind and Solar is up to 40%-60% lower than the lowest conventional form of power.(1) Renewables are the Preferred Choice of Developers Approximately 90% of all new electrical generation capacity added in the U.S. in 2021 was wind, solar, and other renewable sources.(2) Legislation Provides Upside to Current Forecasts Analysis of the impact from potential legislation shows massive upside. Over the next decade utility-scale solar would see an uplift of 86% from current forecasts with an ITC extension.(2) New Wind Services Business Gaining Traction Expanding addressable market to include maintenance with new Wind Services business Environmental Work Strong Area For Growth Growing coal ash remediation business highlighted by increasing Environmental Remediation revenue (up 134% y/y in Q1-2022) KEY INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS EXCITING OPPORTUNITY IN ENERGY TRANSFORMATION (1) Lazard - Levelized Cost of Energy Analysis Version 15.0, Oct 2021.
