According to the assessment from the company, the potential amounts to approximately 500 MW.
• In March 2023, Arise signed an agreement to acquire approximately 51% of the Finnish company Pohjan Voima Oy. Pohjan Voima Oy has developed a well-diversified portfolio of onshore wind and solar projects across Finland, with a project portfolio that at the time of the signing was approximately 1,700 MW.

• Arise entered into a partnership agreement with SCA in October 2023 to cooperate in the development of wind power in six identified land areas. The estimated total potential amounts to approximately 1,000 MW and the projects will be included in Arise’s project portfolio as early-stage projects. Arise will have a 49% ownership in the projects once they reach ready-to-build status.
• Given the sale of Fasikan and the partnership agreement with SCA, the project portfolio amounts thereafter to approximately 6,800 MW.
