FY10 Year in Review Short term external factors can have a significant effect on any given year’s result External Challenges Operational and Structural Challenges • Low electricity prices • Over-optimistic investment cases • Low wind • Site availability • Regulatory uncertainty • Post warranty O&M costs • Australian Dollar appreciation • Corporate debt constraints • Lower production • Lower revenue • Asset sales prospects reduced • Reduced availability of PPAs • Increased investment risk • Cash constraints Low wind and FX movements negatively affected FY10 revenue by $52.2m or 17% 6

Growth in Electricity Demand in Australia Renewable energy target is complementary to long term growth in electricity demand Wind Capacity Annual and Total Additions (MW) Forecast Australian Electricity Consumption (TWh) 1,400 14,000 350 Total R equired C apacity (MW) A nnual A dditions (MW) 1,200 12,000 300 1,000 10,000 250 TWh 800 8,000 200 600 6,000 150 400 4,000 100 200 2,000 50 0 0 0 2008 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Residential Commercial Metals Aluminium smelting Mining Manufacturing Annual Additions (MW) Total Required Capacity (MW) Other Source: Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000.

Fundamentals to be Reflected in Long Term Prices The Supply/Demand balance of RECs and thermal fuels will tighten in the medium term Eastern Power Index - Australia Average Wholesale Prices 100 Wholesale Price $/MWh 90 70 80 60 70 60 50 $/MWh 50 40 40 30 30 20 20 10 10 0 0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2011 2012 2013 2014 Calendar Year Reference Scenario Expanded RET Source: d-cypha, 25/11/2010 Source: Infigen based on MMA Benefits and Costs of the Expanded Renewable Energy Target, p39, January 2009 • Surplus gas has lowered near term electricity • Expected increase in wholesale electricity price forecasts due to increased output of prices in the long term due to demand, intermediate and peaking generation rising fuel costs and imputed carbon price • Uncertainty about magnitude of near term • New domestic coal and natural gas oversupply of RECs has resulted in negative contracts are being priced at export levels sentiment and subdued REC prices • LRET REC supply/demand balance will be more certain in the second quarter of 2011 • Carbon pricing expected through a market mechanism or direct tax. Timing unclear. 9
