An integrated actor:
The NovEnergia Group was incorporated in 2001 through the constitution of a Luxembourg based SICAV named NovEnergia 2010.
Presently, the Group is managed by Novenergia General Partner, a Luxembourg based company owned by the 7 members of the Board
(see below “The Management Team”).
NovEnergia 2010 SICAV played its role in the renewable energy sector in Portugal acquiring important shares and controlling the
management of two key players of the renewable energy sector in Portugal: Generg and Finerge.
Later on, NovEnergia coordinated and participated in the creation of ENEOP – Eolicas de Portugal, a consortium with two major utilities
(EDP and Endesa) and the leader in wind turbine innovation (the German Enercon). ENEOP won the national wind energy tender of
Portugal for 1200 MW and the constitution of an industrial cluster (led by ENERCON) that will produce and install 200 turbines per year.
In 2007 NovEnergia decided to go international, and the Group incorporated a new Fund – NovEnergia II (SCA) SICAR – a
Luxembourg based SICAR. Novenergia II acquired all the assets of the former NovEnergia 2010. By December 2010, its assets reached
309 Million Euros controlling more than 1 Billion Euros of investments across Europe.
NovEnergia is now on the process of raising new capital. The capital increase that is now underway has been approved for a total of 300
Million Euros. Until September 30th a total of 124,3 Million Euros of contribution had already been made, leaving 175,7 Million Euros
available for additional investors.

The Novenergia Group was conceived and founded by a group of experts around Carlos Pimenta who have
spent the past 20 years promoting energy efficiency and renewable energies in different ways (political
responsibilities, academic research and projects, consulting, energy production), contributing to establish the
current framework for independent renewable energy production at the Portuguese and EU level.

Since 2008, Novenergia’s affiliate - Eneryo - has managed to develop a strong portfolio of PV plant projects representing 50
MW in the south of France and Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) projects representing 10 MW
8 MW of PV and 0,3 MW of BiPV have begun production in the beginning of September and an additional 6,2 MW of
several projects will progressively begin operation until the end of 2011.

DRAGOMAN, 30 - 40 MW Wind
Novenergia has recently acquired the rights for a 20 MW wind project. An additional capacity of 20 MW can be secured in
the same location in the months that follow.
Construction works for the first 20 MW will start in the beggining of 2012
Other Eastern countries are markets with significant potential but different characteristics
Hungary
Many interesting projects but the feed-in tariff is subject to restrictive national tenders
3 wind projects representing a capacity of about 90 MW
30 MW are fully developed
Novenergia’s strategy: Develop projects while waiting for the definition of a stable support mechanism
Romania
Large untapped potential but some uncertainty remains regarding the green certificate scheme
A partnership with a local company is under study
The associated portfolio would represent up to 120 MW (wind and hydro)
Novenergia’s strategy: Build strong partnership with local players
By September 2011, the capital invested in the fund by key actors of the Portuguese and European financing
sectors reaches more than € 353 million. Among the main investors are:
• Banco de Portugal The Central Bank of Portugal (through its Pension Fund)
Philanthropic foundation dedicated to four main fields: arts, education, science and human
development, with a capital of € 2.7 billion.
Implementation and support of cultural, educative, artistic, philanthropic and social initiatives,
focused on Portugal and Macau.
• Instituto de Seguros de Portugal - the supervising authority for the insurance sector (through 2 of its Managed Funds)
As a commitment sign to the investors the Novenergia General Partner is also a shareholder since inception, with a share of around
€ 8,4 million in the Capital of Novenergia by the end of 2010.
