Project characteristics
pending
• Project Gemini consists of 2 X 300 MW permitted offshore wind farms in the
Netherlands
• Project Gemini is located at one of the best offshore wind locations in NL with
average wind speeds of 10 m/s (confirmed by a.o. Garrad Hassan)
Estimated annual production for 600MW: 2,300 GWh
• Buitengaats (300MW) and ZeeEnergie (300MW) have both an approved
permit (“Wbr”) and a feed-in tariff (‘SDE”) granted by the Dutch government
• The awarded SDE totals a max. subsidy of €4.4 billion guaranteed income
over a period of 15 years
• Project Gemini’s revenues consists of a combination of (1) the Wholesale
electricity sales under the PPA, plus (2) the Subsidy income, together resulting
in an annual fixed revenue stream
• Electricity for 650,000+ Dutch households per annum which equals a
reduction in emissions of 1,250,000 Ton CO₂
• Project Gemini will most likely be the only large Dutch offshore wind project
for the foreseeable future
• Geophysical study by Fugro confirmed excellent soil conditions
• On shore grid connection owned by Tennet in Eemshaven close to land fall

7. History Project Gemini
• Project Gemini was originally developed by BARD Energy Emden (BARD). BARD had applied for 3 permits to build
offshore wind farms in the North East of The Netherlands, adjacent to the border with Germany.
pending
• The location was specifically chosen for the excellent prevailing wind conditions and the synergies achievable with
BARD’s other intended locations in the German Bight. The three wind farms were granted permits late 2009.
• At that stage, a total of 12 offshore wind projects, held by 6 sponsors (Eneco, Nuon, RWE, Airtricity, Bard, E-
connection), had been permitted in The Netherlands
• In December 2010, the Dutch government opened the offshore wind subsidy tender (SDE), under which all
permitted projects were given the opportunity to submit bids for the EUR 5.3 billion SDE subsidy budget.
• Typhoon Offshore (Typhoon) helped BARD in submitting bids for all three projects (Buitengaats, ZeeEnergie and
Clearcamp), in return for an equity stakes in the projects if the bid was successful.
• In May 2010, the Dutch government announced that two projects (Buitengaats and ZeeEnergie, or Project Gemini))
were granted the full SDE (300MW each), in total EUR 4.4 billion. The remainder of the SDE budget (approx EUR
900m) is yet to be allocated.
• In the mean time, the new Dutch government has moved its renewable energy priorities away from offshore wind.
As a result, it is unlikely that there will be any other significant offshore wind project in The Netherlands in the years
to come. Project Gemini is therefore generally viewed as a landmark project in the Dutch renewable energy arena.

8. History Project Gemini (Continued)
• From May 2010 to date, Typhoon and BARD further developed Project Gemini. One of the challenges is to combine the
grid connection for the two subsidized wind farms.
• In March 2011, HVC committed itself to participate as equity partner in Project Gemini.
• In August 2011, Typhoon Offshore and HVC obtained full ownership of Project Gemini from BARD. Project Gemini is
now owned by Typhoon Offshore (85%) and HVC (15%).
• Typhoon is now solely responsible for the further development, structuring and financing of Project Gemini.
• Other parties have shown strong interest to participate (equity) in Project Gemini or to provide financing (mezzanine +
senior debt)

10. Structure Project Gemini
Wind farms
Organisational structure Project Gemini
• All assets related to the Project are held in 2 limited partnerships
Buitengaats ZeeEnergie
organised and existing under Dutch law: ZeeEnergie and
Buitengaats (the PowerCo SPCs)
• In addition to the PowerCo, a separately owned Dutch legal entity
(GridCo) will own, maintain and operate the offshore transformer
station(s), export cabling and all other grid related assets, except
for the infield cabling. The PowerCo will pay an arm’s length
transportation fee under a fixed 25-year contract to GridCo
• GridCo will be owned and financed by different parties from those
of the PowerCo, due to the different (specialised) nature of the
asset (and its investors)

13. Two Contract Strategy
‘Two party contracting strategy’:
• (1) one marine contractor and (2) one turbine supplier
Each contractor will have its own responsibilities
• agreements with an interface on the flange
Prinses Amalia and Belwind wind farms have used a
• similar contracting strategy which since then is
considered ‘market standard’

since then established a joint track record in relevant business areas, combining ‘green’ capital and industry leading
knowhow to achieve superior returns both financially and in terms of contribution to the environment.
The founders view the renewable energy market as immature, lacking experience and execution power. Typhoon
Offshore expects to create value by capitalizing on current market conditions, through its:
• Long term commitment to renewable energy sector
• Strong sourcing and execution capacity
• Relevant joint track record of 40+ years
Typhoon Offshore team
The team developed, financed and/or commissioned over 20 renewable energy infrastructure projects with a total
