Bremen, June 27, 2025 - Energiekontor AG ("Energiekontor"; $EKT (+0,35 %) ), one of the leading German project developers and operators of wind and solar parks based in Bremen, has reached financial close with the Nartum wind farm project in the district of Rotenburg in Lower Saxony and successfully brought the project to construction maturity. The wind farm is to be transferred to the company's own portfolio once it is commissioned. Energiekontor will thus expand its own wind farm portfolio to around 650 megawatts in the coming years.

After Energiekontor received planning permission for the project in August 2024 and successfully participated in the German Federal Network Agency's EEG tender in February 2025, the project has now reached financial close. Four Nordex wind turbines with a rated output of 5.7 megawatts each are to be erected at the site. The hub height of the N149 turbines is 164 meters and the rotor diameter is 149 meters. The average expected annual yield of the wind farm from the first full year of operation is around 66 gigawatt hours - enough to supply more than 20,000 average households with renewable electricity and save more than 50,000 tons of CO2 per year.

According to the current planning status, the wind farm is scheduled to go into operation in 2027. Construction work is scheduled to start at the beginning of 2026. The background to this is a still outstanding exchange of support masts, which is required to connect the wind farm to the high-voltage grid via a transformer station. With the commissioning of the new wind turbines, Energiekontor plans to transfer the wind farm to its own wind farm portfolio and expand the total generation capacity of the Group's own portfolio by around 23 megawatts.

"In recent months, we have been able to expand our own wind farm portfolio with high-performance new wind farms and further diversify it technologically. We are resolutely driving forward the expansion of our own power generation portfolio in order to continue growing in this segment alongside our project development business and to make a sustainable contribution to achieving climate targets as an independent power producer. Including this project, a total of eight wind and solar parks in Germany and France with a generation capacity of just over 200 megawatts are currently under construction or in preparation for our own portfolio. This will increase the capacity of our own portfolio to around 650 megawatts over the next few years," says Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG.

Bremen, June 24, 2025 - Energiekontor AG ("Energiekontor"; $EKT (+0,35 %)), one of Germany's leading project developers and operators of wind and solar parks based in Bremen, has sold a German wind farm project to several private investors.

The onshore wind farm project sold is the Drensteinfurt-Rieth project in the district of Warendorf in North Rhine-Westphalia. The buyers of the turnkey project are several private investors. The wind farm will have a total generation capacity of around 11 megawatts. Two Enercon E-160 EP5 wind turbines are planned for the site. The individual turbines each have a hub height of around 120 meters and a rotor diameter of 160 meters. The average annual yield of the wind farm is expected to be around 24 gigawatt hours from the first full year of operation - enough to supply more than 7,000 average households with renewable electricity and save more than 18,000 tons of CO2 per year. The project has been awarded an EEG surcharge by the Federal Network Agency as part of last year's August tender. From commissioning, the wind farm will benefit from Energiekontor's many years of operational management experience and optimization support.

"This transaction is now the second project sale this year, which is very pleasing. At the beginning of June 2025, we already sold a very attractive Scottish ready-to-build project, which will make an important contribution to earnings for the current 2025 financial year. Two additional transactions are also currently in the final stages. In addition, further sales negotiations are underway for various projects in Germany and abroad, which should be successfully concluded in the coming weeks and months," says Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor AG. "Apart from that, we are working consistently on the expansion of our Group-owned park portfolio, our second important pillar for regularly recurring income from our own renewable electricity generation."

The Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is an instrument developed by the European Union to systematically record and improve the environmental performance of companies and other organizations. It covers all the requirements of the internationally recognized environmental management standard ISO 14001 and goes beyond this in its specifications. The successful recertification underlines $EKT (+0,35 %) once again underlines the fact that sustainable management is not just an aspiration, but an integral part of the company's values.

Energiekontor was certified according to EMAS for the first time in 2022. In the course of this, Energiekontor set itself various environmental targets as part of an environmental statement, which have now been almost fully achieved. The recertification is also accompanied by the publication of an updated environmental statement for the Bremen site, which can now be viewed at www.energiekontor.de/investor-relations/nachhaltigkeit-esg can be viewed with immediate effect. This provides information on the progress made to date and the next measures for further optimization of environmental performance.

"Sustainability and environmental awareness have been firmly anchored in our corporate philosophy since Energiekontor was founded. The renewed EMAS certification is both a confirmation and an incentive for us - it shows that we are consistently pursuing our environmental goals and constantly expanding our systematic commitment to environmental protection. Thanks to EMAS, we can present our measures and progress in a transparent and measurable way and thus make an effective contribution to a sustainable future," says Günter Eschen, member of the Management Board of Energiekontor AG.

Bremen, June 10, 2025 - Energiekontor AG ("Energiekontor"), listed in the General Standard $EKT (+0,35 %) Energiekontor AG ("Energiekontor"), one of the leading German project developers and operators of wind and solar parks based in Bremen, has sold a Scottish wind farm project to the global energy supplier Uniper.

The onshore wind farm project sold is a project in the south-west of Scotland. The buyer of the project is Uniper UK, a subsidiary of the Düsseldorf-based global energy company Uniper. The wind farm will have a total generation capacity of around 46 megawatts. A total of seven Nordex N163 wind turbines are planned for the site. The individual turbines each have a maximum total height of 200 meters and a rotor diameter of 163 meters. The average expected annual yield of the wind farm from the first full year of operation is around 158 gigawatt hours - enough to supply more than 66,000 average households with renewable electricity. From commissioning, it will benefit from Energiekontor's many years of operational management experience and optimization support.

In October 2023, Energiekontor had already successfully participated with the project in the fifth tender round of the British Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) for the allocation of a Contract for Difference (CFD) and was awarded an inflation-indexed feed-in tariff, from which the wind farm will benefit from commissioning.

"We are delighted to have successfully brought this first joint project with Uniper to this important milestone. This project makes a further important contribution to the expansion of renewable energy in the UK. With the sale of the project, we can now enter the realization phase with Uniper," said Peter Szabo, CEO of Energiekontor

I have been intensively involved in the real estate sector and have discovered some supposedly exciting companies such as

$SPG (-0,18 %)
$GLPI (-0,25 %)
$CUBE (+0,11 %) and $BRX (+0 %) discovered.

But there are special features to the valuation of REITs. 🧐

Traditional key figures such as high returns on capital or margins are often misleading, as REITs are legally obliged to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income 🤑 and are also highly leveraged.

In order to better assess REITs, I have read up on the subject and adjusted my valuation standards. Instead of adjusted earnings, I now focus more on funds from operations (FFO) and adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), which more realistically reflect operating profitability.

Here are some of the companies that I find particularly interesting:

• Public Storage $PSA (+0,02 %) Leading provider in the self storage segment with an FFO yield of approx. 5.9%

• Prologis $PLD (+1,62 %) Global leader in logistics real estate with strong growth

• Equinix $EQIX (+4,22 %) Data center operator with a scalable business model

• Agree Realty $ADC (-1,55 %) Focus on retail properties with long-term rental agreements and an FFO yield of approx. 5.7 %.

I also see Energiekontor $EKT (+0,35 %) as an alternative real estate investment 🤓. Energiekontor currently operates 39 of its own wind and solar parks, which generate electricity revenues instead of rental income.

Which companies do you see as particularly promising for a long-term investment?

The search for quality stocks in the energy sector is more challenging than in many other sectors. The high cyclicality, strong dependence on commodity prices and capital cost-intensive business models often lead to fluctuating margins, low returns on capital and balance sheet weaknesses.

Despite these challenges, there are companies that stand out positively thanks to their solid financial position, strategic focus or innovative business model. Here I present a selection that I find interesting despite certain compromises:

Energiekontor $EKT (+0,35 %) (growth value, cash flow oriented)

Texas Pacific Land $TPL (-0,49 %) (extremely profitable)

Hess $HES (-1,23 %)(cooperates with $XOM) (-1 %)

EOG Resources $EOG (-0,15 %) (high ROIC)

Which companies do you see as particularly promising for a long-term investment?

Position increased after I placed a first tranche last week. Depending on the market trend, I will continue to add to the position piece by piece.

We have taken advantage of the current weak market phase and further reduced our cash holdings.

After holding only one share in Energiekontor as a souvenir, we have now bought more. We were already invested here, but realized price gains at some point.

The company is a leader in the project development of wind farms in Germany. It is in a sector with an absolute future. The demand for electricity is increasing, but so is the need for decarbonization.

The 2024 figures were not good, but Energiekontor expects higher profits and sales again.

What do you think of the company?

$EKT (+0,35 %)
