DELIVERING OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND INDUSTRIAL PERFORMANCE IN 2022

For TAQA Morocco, 2022 was a notable year in a number of ways with the exceptional performance of our activities and the many success stories to meet the challenges faced. We achieved a record level of overall availability of 93.9%, generating 15,309 GWH of energy, or 38% of the national demand national demand, thus illustrating TAQA Morocco's central role in meeting the country's current and growing electricity needs.

This performance underscores TAQA Morocco's continuous improvement in operational efficiency and the proven expertise of our human capital.

The year was also marked by geopolitical tensions in Europe resulting in difficulties in the supply of key raw materials, which had a direct impact on their prices on the international markets. Against this backdrop, we met successfully the challenge of securing a steady supply of coal at competitive prices, thereby limiting the impact of rising coal prices on our institutional partners, at the same time as keeping pace with the increase in the demand for energy.

A LOW-CARBON ENERGY PRODUCTION MODEL TO CONTINUE TO SERVE MOROCCO.

In line with Morocco's strategic ambitions, we launched in 2022 a new development cycle with our 2030 diversification strategy. Our recognized expertise in the development of strategic projects, our ability to bring together institutional players, and national and international financing are all factors that support our strategic choices and will contribute to the success of our strategic shift.

As part of this new strategy, TAQA Morocco aims to develop several high-impact projects aimed at the production of 1,000 MW of low-carbon energy allowing a 25% reduction of our carbon footprint. This will strengthen our position as leading IPP in Morocco with a diversified energy mix and by leveraging the multiple expertise of the TAQA Group.

Indeed, in 2022 TAQA Group joined ADNOC and Mubadala to acquire a stake in Masdar (the UAE's national champion of renewable energy), to make it a global reference in the production of renewable energies, green hydrogen and other technologies related to energy transition. In addition, the

STRENGTHENING OUR POSITION AS THE LEADING PRIVATE ELECTRICITY PRODUCER IN MOROCCO WITH A DIVERSIFIED ENERGY MIX

ongoing development of the Noor PV II project with a capacity of 96 MW of solar energy and a wind farm capacity of 95 MW (extendable to 200 MW) in the north of the country, illustrates TAQA Morocco's agility in deploying its diversification strategy.

Reflecting our commitment to succeeding in this strategic shift, TAQA Morocco has adopted a new visual identity that underlines our determination to accompany the evolution of the national energy mix. It highlights our positioning in the different sources of low-carbon energy and our motivation to contribute to the development of seawater desalination in Morocco.

A PLATFORM FOR INCLUSIVE

DEVELOPMENT WITH OUR

STAKEHOLDERS.

TAQA Morocco plays a key role in Morocco's economic landscape and as such, sharing our value creation is an inherent part of our development model. To give this a high profile, we have adopted a CSR charter aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals to respond to national and international challenges. As a committed economic player, TAQA Morocco acts as a true champion of the national IPP industry, mobilizing more than 500 Moroccan companies with a direct impact on job creation, especially among SMEs.

Given the importance of expertise in our business, we pay particular attention to developing the skills of our employees. We are proud of the level of know-how developed locally and the corporate culture that we have built around operational excellence and safety.

We are also committed to promoting diversity within our business, ensuring that recruitment processes are fair and open to all, as well as adopting diversity policies that foster a respectful and inclusive work environment for all employees.

Our non-financial performance and the continuous improvement of our stakeholder involvement has been recognized with the renewal of our CGEM accreditation and the inclusion of TAQA Morocco in Casablanca Stock Exchange's MASI ESG index, which brings together the best performing stocks in terms of extra-financial performance.

Today, more than ever, TAQA Morocco is determined to brighten the Morocco of tomorrow.
