3. 1. Key project milestones, to date 2010-11: Formulating draft proposals Engineering & environmental surveys and environmental impact assessment inform early draft proposals for statutory and community consultation 2012: Consultation Combined total of 20 weeks, 14 public exhibitions, 4,700 people, 1,500 responses 2013: DCO submission and examination Onshore and offshore design changes following consultation responses March: DCO submission July 2013 - January 2014: DCO Examination including 14 public hearings 2014: Consent granted The Secretary of State for Energy & Climate Change granted consent for Rampion, the first wind farm of the south coast of England, 16 th July 2014 3

4. 2. Final project design - offshore 116 turbines Hub height 84m / Tip height 140m 13-20km off Sussex coast 400MW installed electrical capacity 72km 2 wind farm site area Inter array cables to one substation Export cable route being finalised Each year in numbers: Generate 1,366GWh power output Offset almost 600,000 tonnes of CO 2 Supply equivalent of over 290,000 homes, more than 4 in 10 homes in East & West Sussex, Brighton & Hove 4

5. Final project design - onshore 5  Landfall at Brooklands, East Worthing  27km long cable route  Buried underground for entire route  Ducting & HDD methods of installation  2 x 132/150kV circuits  30m working width / 15m easement requiring haul road, topsoil and subsoil storage, and distance between circuits  New substation at Bolney connecting to 400kV National Transmission Grid  Active engagement with Local Liaison Group on final layout design, seeking to reduce site area, size and scale of buildings and protect hedges and trees

6. 3. Construction - Offshore Up to 3 year construction period commencing Q4 2015 / Q1 2016 250-300 jobs in the workforce during offshore construction Project Management Facility for construction located at Newhaven Port: Provides portside availability, flexibility of space and ease of access to site Offers continuity throughout construction into operation Temporary portakabins until O&M base is complete Newhaven hub of activity creating up to 40 jobs and utilising local vessels 6

7. Construction - onshore Cable route 2 year construction commencing Q2 2015 60-100 in workforce during onshore construction Ducting installation method Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) roads & railway Tailored construction methodology for Tottington Mt 7 Onshore substation 2 year construction commencing spring 2015 40-60 in workforce during construction Civil/enabling, electrical build & commissioning Transforms power up to 400kV and conditions power prior to entry into transmission system Max height (transformers) 10.5m tall

9. Minimising the impacts of construction - DCO Requirements DCO includes Requirements (similar to planning conditions) Includes suite of management plans to reduce impact on local community: Construction Traffic Management Plan (CTMP) Developed with, and for approval by WSCC Highways, Highways Agency Includes HGV routes, wheel washing, limiting access points, Communications with local interests (e.g. Lancing Business Park) Construction Environment Management Plan (CEMP) Includes controls for construction activities, e.g. noise management measures Addresses invasive species and soil management techniques Ecology and Landscape Management Plan Details of ecological mitigation and enhancements (e.g. habitat creation) Specific species method statements (e.g. Birds, Bats, Reptiles and Badgers) Full arboricultural assessment and retention of high value trees Archaeological Written Scheme of Investigation Methodology for minimising impact to unknown archaeology Public Rights of Way Strategy Mitigate impacts to users/communications plan (incl Brooklands) 9

10. Raising community awareness of construction Construction Communications Plans (for onshore stage) Identify and inform communities of construction details to continue good relations and ensure construction is sensitive to needs of local communities. Plans to include: Map showing area of works; Description of works, potential impacts and activities and proposed mitigations; Due start date and duration of works; Lead contractor’s details; Provision of notifications regarding exceptional working hours; Proposed communications, e.g. engagement with parish councils and interest groups to disseminate information Project Liaison Groups and Local Liaison Group (onshore substation Community information events along the cable route How to find out more information, e.g. website, phone and email services Complaints procedure 10

11. 4. Operations & Maintenance Operations Base located at Newhaven Port, to include control room, office, warehouse and quayside infrastructure, benefiting the local economy by: Triggering regeneration plans for NPP (already encouraged new tenants) Creating opportunities for indirect local employment in the form of up to 30 support service contracts and other local expenditure Creating up to 65 full time, permanent jobs 11 Operation Base development process: 2014 - in discussions with Lewes District Council regarding the planning process 2015 - design proposals 2016 - construction commences 2017 - O&M base complete (used for PM)

13. 5. Supply Chain - maximising UK and local content 13 E.ON recognise importance of securing local & UK content for a major project Rampion Supply Chain Steering Group in partnership with local authorities Meet the Buyer Event, Amex, Feb 2014, attracted 300 suppliers (mostly local)  Key local suppliers encouraged to register on database at: www.sussexwindenergy.org.uk www.sussexwindenergy.org.uk  Intended as supplier “search portal” for the project and contractors  Details of supplier database was provided in all tender documentation Three focused Meet the Buyer Events in 2015 - opportunities for subcontracts: Onshore cabling & substation, 5 th February, Shoreham Offshore balance of plant, April TBC O&M, June TBC

14. Supply Chain - maximising UK and local content Robin Rigg Case Study Independent audit by BVG Associates on our last non-JV offshore project 32% of capital value was retained in the UK, 12% in the region, despite turbines (representing over half of capex), unable to be sourced in UK 86% of O&M expenditure in year 1 was retained in the UK, with half benefitting Cumbria itself Rampion Capex - targeting 30% UK content of circa £1bn  Potential contractors encouraged to identify proposed UK & local suppliers  UK bidders were invited to tender for supply of monopile, substation jacket, cables and staging port  Contracts already placed with local suppliers (met mast, geotech, vessels, PR)  Highlighting interest in local suppliers to landowners (along cable route) Rampion Opex - targeting 85% UK content over 25 years  Commitment to local recruitment for bulk of 60 permanent jobs 14

15. 6. Skills training and education  2 Wind Turbine Maintenance Apprentices a year for the first 3 years of Operation  Agreement with turbine supplier to train 38 technical staff on site  Commitment to focusing recruitment in the local area, with specific advertising Campaigns in Sussex  Support for Newhaven University Technical College  Exhibited at Worldskills Careers Fair, Brighton to 1,685 students  Working with Sussex EBP to identify possible ‘feeder schools’ for Rampion jobs and placements 15
