10 SERVICES UKA A STRONG PARTNER JOIN THE ENERGY REVOLUTION The energy revolution is a once-in-a-lifetime social project underpinned by various partners. Whether you are a landowner, resident, community, partner or investor, UKA is an expert on your side. Benefit from the wind farm developer s long-standing knowledge and project experience. LANDOWNERS More and more landowners are benefiting from the energy revolution. By leasing their farmland and pasture they are creating an additional source of income for themselves and their families. Since wind turbines take up relatively little space, the surrounding fields can continue to be cultivated. There are suitable parcels of land almost everywhere in Germany not only in fields, but also in forests and on former landfill and recultivated mining sites. Landowners who work with UKA bear no risks in terms of liability or dismantling. In addition to an exemption from liability the lessor receives a dismantling guarantee for the wind turbine, its foundations and the accompanying infrastructure. RESIDENTS AND COMMUNITIES The energy revolution is the project of the century. It is supported by communities and residents throughout Germany. Quite rightly, they no longer wish to have the burdens of energy projects simply imposed on them they also want the opportunity to actively participate in local value creation. UKA is the largest wind farm developer in Germany and takes this into account during all phases of planning and setting up the wind farm. Communities and their residents can work together with UKA and benefit financially and economically from the collaboration. This not only provides an extra source of revenue, but also creates independence for the future. UKA offers various resident participation schemes depending on the needs of each community, such as energy cooperatives, savings pools and even direct limited partnerships.

11 SERVICES PARTNERS UKA can acquire project rights and offer support at every stage of a wind farm project as a financially strong partner with proven experience in implementation no matter what type of turbine is involved. UKA boasts excellent capital resources and proven expertise in complex approval procedures. In addition, the company benefits from significant cost savings in the tender process thanks to long-term framework agreements with leading wind turbine manufacturers. UKA secures flexible project finance through its long-standing relationships with banking partners. The wind farm developer s partners can also rely on attractive cooperation and remuneration models, as well as open and committed communication and transparent documentation. INVESTORS UKA regularly sells turn-key onshore wind farms to institutional investors, investment funds, insurance providers and suppliers. We offer the acquisition of individual wind farms and wind farm portfolios, making it possible to build a portfolio that facilitates diversification in terms of size and geographical location. In the last three years, a total capacity of around 500 MW has been sold to Allianz Global Investors, Talanx, Hansa Invest, Aquila, Commerz Real and more.
