approximate number of households that can be powered by the farm each year. Stage I - 70,000

estimated reduction in CO2 emissions each year, once the farm is fully operational. These reductions will be equivalent to taking either 290,000 cars off the road or planting 1,900,000 trees.

hectares of land will be used for the wind farm.

turbines each of 3 MW capacity will be used. Stage I and II will use 32 turbines each and Stage III will use 35. Turbine will be supplied by Siemens.

Stage 1 of the Hornsdale Wind Farm was switched on to the grid in a special ‘energization ceremony’.

Stage 2 reaches financial close. Stage 2 will be financed by International banks KFW IPEX-Bank GmbH and Societe Generale, with Investec providing a Junior loan to the holding company.

50% of Stage 2 construction completed.

Stage 3 has been awarded a 20 year Feed-in-Tariff in the Australian Capital Territory Next Generation Renewables Auction and thus paves the way for construction of Stage 3 to being early 2017.

power purchase agreement (PPA) with the ACT for supply of 309 MW power (100 MW, 100 MW, 109 MW from Stages I, II and III respectively).

All 32 turbines of Stage II commissioned, connected to the grid and generating.

Historic agreement signed between Neoen, Tesla and the South Australian government under which Tesla will install a 100MW / 129MWh battery system within 100 days of Stage III connecting to the grid (and if it fails to do so within 100 days, provide the system for free).

All 35 turbines in Stage III connected to grid. 26 commissioned and generating.
