   2           Alternative Performance Measure, based on year-to-date performance 
   3           Unaudited financial information 

Net Asset Value as at 31 December 2022

The Group's unaudited NAV as at 31 December 2022 of GBP99.5m showed a marginal decline against the position reported as at 30 September 2022 (GBP100.3m), mainly reflecting the one-off expenditure of the Company being admitted to trading on the Premium Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in October 2022 (the "Transfer"), which offset the c.5% uplift in the value of the portfolio over the Period.

The NAV Return (2) of the Company is 7.8% (based on NAV performance and dividends paid for the Period). The adjusted NAV Return (2) excluding one-off expenditure is 8.4%.

In deriving the NAV, the Group's investment valuations were reviewed by the Company's valuation advisors.

Portfolio Performance

The financial performance of the portfolio in the Period was above expectations due to out-performance in the Hydroelectric Portfolio, with underlying revenues being 4% higher than forecast and total revenues being 8% higher. This was the result of better than anticipated energy generation, arising from greater precipitation and high availability. The Hydroelectric Portfolio comprised 63% of the Company's assets as at 31 December 2022.

Income from the Combined Heat and Power ("CHP") Portfolio was in line with expectation. During the year, the majority of the equity in the main offtake counterparty was acquired by a new investor, strengthening its financial position. Earnings from all other portfolio investments were also in line with forecast.

Deployment and new investments

GBP5.5m was deployed in the Period in respect of the Battery Energy Storage Systems ("BESS") Portfolio and the first asset in Oldham reached commercial operation on 6 November 2022. The Oldham asset made a strong start and was rated in the top 10 performing BESS assets in the UK BESS fleet in December 2022.

During the Period, the Group invested GBP0.45m to fund the installation of new Light Emitting Diodes ("LEDs") at another warehouse of a global logistics business. This is the third warehouse that the Group has helped decarbonise through its LED investment programme.

The Group is actively progressing a number of pipeline opportunities in order to deploy the remaining uncommitted capital - c.GBP5m - and expects to have fully committed all capital raised at Initial Public Offering ("IPO") and available through the Revolving Credit Facility by the end of April.

No Impact from UK Electricity Generation Levy

On 20 December 2022, the Government published an update to the Electricity Generator Levy. The update outlined a number of changes to the levy, including a reduction in the minimum volume threshold from 100GWh to 50GWh.

The Company re-affirms its guidance that it continues to fall outside of the scope of the levy and that there is no impact on its forecasted projections.

John Roberts, Triple Point Energy Transition's Chair, commented:

"The Board is pleased with the performance of the Group over the Period, with operational revenues exceeding our expectations. The resilience of the Group's NAV, in view of lower long term power price forecasts and government policy changes over the period, reflects the diversification of the portfolio across a range of technologies and the combination of both debt and equity investments in the energy transition sector. While the portfolio value gains in the Period were offset by one-off costs of the Transfer, we believe that this will benefit shareholders in the medium term as a broader range of investors are able to deal in the Company's shares.

The portfolio that the Group has built across highly attractive infrastructure sectors provides significant cash flow and supports a substantially covered annual dividend of 5.5 pence per share, equating to a yield of 6.9% on the latest share price."
