Dedicated to China's Clean Energy Transition

China's rapid shift in the age of decentralized energy

Over the past 10 years, China has accelerated its efforts and programs around

energy-efficiency gains. It has set itself ambitious targets to increase

renewable energy penetration in its mix. Along with this transition towards a

less carbon-intensive system, the Asian market, China in particular, has seen a

rapid shift from a one-way system of large power plants to a multidirectional,

decentralized power. The responsibility of managing energy and minimizing CO2

emissions is now shifting to businesses, local governments and facility managers.

To support this transition, Tera is offering a unique suite of integrated innovative services.

A unique partnership

Tera gathers together companies with extensive expertise and know-how in the

fields of energy generation and optimization, facility management and

sustainable services, all united by a bold vision for a clean energy future in

China and Asia. The partners all benefit from a successful track record and

renowned experience providing best-in-class innovative energy solutions and

services in China and globally, for the benefit of their customers.

Total Eren brings its experience as a global Independent Power Producer ("IPP")

with expertise across wind, solar photovoltaic (PV) and hybrid systems. It

combines the financial strengths of a global player with the agility of a

developer and the vision of a long-term investor, for both public and private

customers. Tera will benefit from Total Eren's technical expertise, financing

structuration know-how, procurement leverage and worldwide network to deliver

best-in-class and competitive renewable energy solutions.

Eren Industries offers its unique portfolio of smart technology solutions and

its global expertise in helping customers optimize their energy consumption and

reduce their CO2 emissions. Eren Industries is engaged and specialized in the

development, financing, and management of projects that significantly reduce

the amount of investment needed for heating and cooling energy systems,

generating important savings on the annual energy operating costs of buildings.

Aden Group brings an operational and regional facility management expertise

built over 20 years in Asia. Its network includes 80 Chinese cities and 1,500

partners, giving it unique insight into China's evolving business, regulatory

and environmental demands. Through Tera, Aden Group will accelerate its

longstanding mission of integrating traditional facility management with

technical and environmental innovation, sustainability and quality of life outcomes.

Digitalize, Decentralize, Decarbonize

With Tera, the partners move into a new and ambitious phase, combining their

experience and resources to support their clients in digitalizing,

decentralizing and decarbonizing their energy supply.

Tera will serve as an efficient and competitive provider of renewable energy

solutions, combining innovative energy optimization services and mature

sustainability technologies to help companies reduce their energy bill and

improve their carbon footprint. The firm will fully focus on China's

clean-energy and smart-city sectors, giving it the capacity to accelerate

pioneering work in B2B renewable energy and AI-powered energy optimization.

Pâris Mouratoglou, Founder and Chairman of Eren Groupe, stated: "The creation

of this new joint venture in China together with Aden represents a new step of

Eren's international development strategy. We are very pleased to become the

energy-solution partner of the unique business platform Aden is developing in

China. Looking ahead, we are eager to deliver together our solutions for the

benefit of our clients to help them rationalize and optimize their energy

consumption in a sustainable way."

David Corchia, Co-founder and CEO of Total Eren, added: "We are thrilled to

bring our global expertise in renewable energy to the Chinese market. I would

like to thank our partner, Aden Group, and Eren Industries for this excellent

cooperation, as well as our teams for their hard and continuous work which made

the launch of Tera possible. In line with Total Eren's pioneering spirit, we

look forward to developing tailored renewable energy solutions for private

customers in China."

Joachim Poylo, Co-founder and President of Aden Group, stated: "The world has

arrived at a true crossroads moment. The environmental outcomes that result

will be profoundly shaped by Asia, and by the way energy is managed in its

cities and buildings. The energy transition market in China alone is a

trillion-dollar opportunity requiring the highest level of technical and

operational expertise with deep local knowledge. Tera offers precisely this,

and we could not be more excited to help drive clean energy transitions in Asia."

Francois Amman, Co-founder and Co-President of Aden Group, said: "This is a

moment when all the pieces of the puzzle are coming together for Asia: asset

management, facility management, energy optimization and generation. We have

spent the past five years investing in the technical expertise and digital

tools to powerfully respond to this moment of opportunity -- with the platform

we have built, and the addition of our partners Total Eren and Eren Industries,

we will be able to respond faster than ever before to our clients' needs and

create change with the speed and scope that this moment demands."
