2. Reasons for the revision

The Affiliate, which had applied for the public tender for the selection of Business Operator of Yurihonjo (North and South sides), Akita Prefecture, a Promotion Zone for the Development of Marine Renewable Energy Power Generation Facilities, pursuant to the Act on Promoting the Utilization of Sea Areas for the Development of Marine Renewable Energy Power Generation Facilities, was not selected as an Appointed Business Operator. As a result, RENOVA recorded losses on investments to the Affiliate and related expenses.

RENOVA intends to continue development of offshore wind projects in multiple other sea areas in Japan, excluding the offshore area of Yurihonjo, Akita Prefecture. Based on the results of the public tender for the selection, capitalized development costs were recorded as expense in a lump sum. As a result, RENOVA does not anticipate additional losses related to all offshore wind projects development activities thus far in Japan.

Based on these factors, consolidated revenue and earnings forecasts were revised.

Solar PV, Biomass, and Onshore wind power plants (capacity: approximately 590 MW) in operation in Japan and overseas have maintained stable operation, and any events that may lead to revision of consolidated forecast figures have not occurred. Solar PV, Biomass, and Hydro power plants under construction (capacity: approximately 390 MW) are expected to commence commercial operation as planned.
