Dominion Energy (USA) Provides Update on Closing of Gas Transmission, Storage Assets
Sale and Status of Share Repurchases
Dominion Energy provided several updates related to the pending sale of its gas transmission and storage assets to an affiliate of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Dominion
Energy expects its transaction with Berkshire Hathaway Energy, exclusive of Questar Pipelines, to close around November 1, 2020. As consideration for that
transaction, Dominion Energy will receive approximately $2.7 billion in cash and transfer $5.3 billion of existing Dominion Energy Gas Holdings ("DEGH") related
indebtedness to the buyer at closing. Dominion Energy expects to complete the sale of Questar Pipelines to Berkshire Hathaway Energy upon receipt of
Hart-Scott-Rodino ("HSR") clearance in early 2021. As consideration for that transaction, Dominion Energy would receive approximately $1.3 billion in cash and
transfer around $430 million of existing Questar Pipelines indebtedness to the buyer. Aggregate cash consideration and assumption of debt across the two anticipated
closings is exactly equivalent to the original transaction terms announced on July 5, 2020. This mutually agreed dual-phase closing is the result of updated timing
expectations for receipt of the HSR clearance from the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") related exclusively to the sale of Questar Pipeline and Overthrust Pipeline
(together with related entities, "Questar Pipelines"). Given all closing conditions have been met with respect to non-Questar Pipelines assets included in the transaction,
Dominion Energy and Berkshire Hathaway Energy have opted to move forward with an expeditious initial closing to be followed with a subsequent Questar Pipelines
closing in early 2021. As a result of the phased closing, Questar Pipelines and its associated debt will be removed from Dominion Energy Gas Holdings prior to the
transfer of DEGH to Berkshire. Berkshire Hathaway Energy, which is A-rated, has indicated it plans to support the existing credit profile of DEGH by foregoing the
refinancing of some $1.2 billion of scheduled maturities over the next 12 months as well as consideration of other credit-enhancing measures including additional
deleveraging past 2021, as needed.

EDF (France) Renewables confirms its commitment to Ireland by acquiring Wexford Solar
Limited and opening a new office in Dublin
EDF Renewables (EDFR) continues to invest in Ireland by acquiring Wexford
SolarLimited which includes eight solar projects with around 100 MW of capacity
across the country. The company has big ambitions to develop its already growing
portfolio in Ireland, having recently bought 50% of the Codling offshore wind farm,
partnering with Fred Olsen, to develop and build the project, and is opening a new
bigger office in Dublin to accommodate this. Four of the Wexford Solar projects are
consented and have been successful in the recent RESS 1 auction. These include
Blusheens (11.5MW), Coolroe and Curraghmartin (5.7 MW) which are all in County
Wexford plus Stamullen (5.8MW) in County Meath. EDF Renewables plans to build
these projects in 2021. Four other projects are in the development phase and these are
Ballycarren (6MW) in County Wexford, Willville (5.7 MW) in County Louth,
Johnstown (15 MW) in County Carlow and Athlone (45MW) in County
Roscommon. The new Dublin office will be home to our Irish Head of Development
Kevin Daly and a team of six others but it is expected this will quickly grow as well.
Currently all employees are working from home due to COVID-19.
EDF Renewables Ireland CEO said, “The Wexford solar projects are an
important addition to our portfolio of onshore and offshore wind developments
which we pursue at pace. Also the recent appointment of Arno Verbeek as Project
Director is great news for the Codling project which looks set to be the biggest
offshore wind farm in Ireland with a capacity of up to 1.5GW. We are delighted
by the progress we are making in Ireland, and will continue to grow and work
with the Irish Government and communities to further demonstrate EDF
Renewables commitment to support the country’s Climate Action Plan, which
calls for 70% of renewable energy by 2030."

enhance transmission system reliability and is well positioned to benefit from the
substantial expected renewables growth over the coming years," said chairman
and CEO of NextEra Energy. "This acquisition furthers our goal of creating

SSE (UK) Agrees Sale of Its 50% Share In Ferrybridge And Skelton Grange Multifuel Assets
SSE plc has entered into an agreement to sell its 50% share in energy-from-waste ventures
Multifuel Energy Limited (MEL1) and Multifuel Energy 2 Limited (MEL2) to European
Diversified Infrastructure Fund III, an infrastructure fund managed by First Sentier
Investors, for a total cash consideration of £995m. The transaction is expected to complete
by late 2020 subject to antitrust approval by the European Commission. MEL1 and MEL2
are 50-50 joint ventures between SSE and Wheelabrator Technologies Inc., consisting of the
operational Ferrybridge Multifuel 1 and Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 facilities (MEL1), as well as
the Skelton Grange Multifuel development project (MEL2), all in West Yorkshire.
Ferrybridge Multifuel 1 (which entered commercial operation in 2015, SSE share 50%) and
Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 (which entered commercial operation in 2019, SSE share 50%) each
have an installed capacity of 75MW and are capable of processing around 725,000 tonnes
and 675,000 tonnes of waste every year respectively. The proposed Skelton Grange Multifuel
facility (SSE share: 50%), which is due to reach financial close around April 2021 and
commence commercial operations in 2025, will have an installed capacity of 45MW and will
be capable of processing around 400,000 tonnes of waste annually.
Finance Director said: “This sale marks a major step in our plans to secure at least £2bn
from disposals by autumn 2021, with just over £1.4bn now delivered. While these
multifuel assets have been successful ventures for SSE, they are non-core investments
and we are pleased to have agreed a sale that delivers significant value for shareholders
while sharpening our strategic focus on our core low-carbon businesses. Our disposal
programme demonstrates how the company can create value from our assets and
supports our plans to invest £7.5bn over the next five years in the low-carbon
infrastructure needed to stimulate a green economic recovery and help the UK transition
to a net-zero future.”

Veolia acquires 29.9% of Suez’s capital from Engie and confirms its intention
to acquire control
Veolia acknowledges Engie’s decision to respond favorably to its offer to acquire a
29.9% stake in Suez. As a reminder, this proposal, submitted on August 30 and
continuously improved since, presents in particular the following elements:
• a price of 18 euros per share (dividend included), i.e. a premium of 75% over the
unaffected price of July 30, 2020, paid immediately in cash and paving the way for a
public tender offer on the remaining share capital of Suez for all of its shareholders;
• the guarantee of 100% of jobs and social benefits for all Suez employees in France;
• the certainty of a French operation;
• the preservation of competition thanks to the takeover by French company Meridiam
of the Water activity in France from Suez, Meridiam having committed to preserving all
jobs and social benefits, to take over the R&D center of Suez and to double the
investments planned and to inject 800 million euros into this new scope within 5 to 7
years.
This decision marks a first decisive step in the construction in France of a world super
champion of the ecological transformation making the trail in this strategic sector for at
least 20 years.
Chief Executive Officer of Veolia said: "I am very happy to lay the foundation stone
in France for a world super champion of the ecological transformation. This is a
wonderful opportunity for the employees, customers and shareholders of both
groups, and it is a project which serves France and the planet ".

Con Edison Providing Smart Gas Detectors In Major Breakthrough For Customer Safety
22
Solution Description
Con Edison is installing 376,000 smart-technology natural gas detectors for customers in New York City and Westchester County, providing an unprecedented
level of protection against potentially dangerous leaks. The distribution of the detectors follows a successful pilot in which Con Edison provided 9,000 detectors.
Those detectors sounded 250 alarms since the first installations in October 2018. The company places the detectors at the spot inside the building where the gas
service line enters. When the detector senses natural gas, it sounds an alarm and voice warning. It also alerts operators at Con Edison's Gas Emergency Response
Center, who notify the local fire department. The alarm will sound until Con Edison silences the unit. The voice recording advises occupants to evacuate and call
911 from outside the building. Using a phone, turning lights, appliances or a flashlight on or off, lighting a match or starting a car can create a spark and cause the
gas to ignite. New Rochelle resident Clarence Stanley was part of the pilot program and he's thankful that he was. One night this summer, he got out of bed to watch
TV and catch up on sports scores and the political shows he enjoys when he heard the alarm. He woke his wife and called Con Edison from a phone not located
near the basement. A Con Edison representative who answered advised him to leave the house. By the time of his call, Con Edison and New Rochelle fire personnel
were already on their way. As the Stanleys waited outside, the crews arrived. It turned out that there was a small gas leak, which Con Edison repaired.

Republic Services (USA) Named 2020 Organics Recycler of the Year
39
Republic Services, Inc. has been named 2020 Organics Recycler of the Year by the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA), which honors innovators and leaders in
the industry who have made substantial contributions to recycling. The industry award recognizes Republic's leadership in diverting food and yard waste from landfills through
food recovery, organics pre-processing and composting – contributing to the circular economy. Food and yard waste currently represent about 30 percent of the municipal solid
waste that's sent to landfills, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. By diverting this material to organics programs, safe and edible food can be recovered for
people or animals to consume, and green waste can be recycled into a nutrient-rich compost for soil or into biogas that can be used as fuel. Republic Services currently operates
11 compost facilities in five states, including California, where there is greater demand due to legislation mandating the diversion of organic waste from landfills. Many of
Republic's composting facilities are technologically advanced, using mechanical aeration to speed up the biological process and reduce odors. The facility at the Otay Landfill
in Chula Vista, Calif., is an innovative example – it's completely off the grid, using solar-powered fans and a cover technology that requires little energy consumption and traps
odors, dust and emissions. In Southern California, Republic also runs an organics pre-processing operation that removes contamination from food waste derived from
restaurants and grocers, and maintains a robust food recovery program that diverts safe and edible food from the waste stream. Organics recycling directly supports Republic's
commitment to the circular economy to increase recovery of key materials by 40% by 2030.

Waste Management (USA) wins technology award for innovative environmental platform
45
Waste Management (WM) is accepting the 2020 Firebrand Award for its landfill technology and automation platform advances. The Company designed an internal
solution then contracted with SCS Engineers’ RMC Practice, and Vertech Industrial Solutions to deploy WM’s new innovative ‘Connected Landfills’ pilot. WM’s
Connected Landfills system was first piloted at the West Edmonton Landfill in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The pilot proved to simplify workflows, equipping landfill
assets with internet-connected devices and sensors. Technicians are able to review data remotely via dashboards on mobile devices, allowing them to monitor changes,
make decisions and even directly interact with equipment with the push of a button. With less time spent in transit, landfill employees will be able to spend more time
managing landfills’ productivity and health. This design and integration advances WM’s existing environmental management platform by increasing worker safety, the
user experience, and running the landfill systems efficiently. It also supports Waste Management’s commitment to ensuring public safety and environmental protection
for landfill staff and the surrounding community. Landfills, and the municipalities and companies that operate landfills use sophisticated technology to manage the
complex environmental systems that keep citizens and the air, water, and soil surrounding landfills healthy. Ongoing collection of data from these assets, often collected
by checking meters positioned throughout landfill sites, is essential for landfills’ safe operation. Waste Management operates the largest network of landfills in the
industry, managing the disposal of almost 100 million tons of waste every year at over 250 sites across Canada and the US. Based on the pilot’s success, WM plans to
expand the Connected Landfills system to other sites throughout North America.

Alliant Energy (USA) reaches milestone, completes 1000 MW of wind in Iowa
49
Alliant Energy announces completion of its plan to add 1,000 megawatts (MW) of wind production in Iowa, several months ahead of schedule and within
budget. This achievement comes as the company completes its 130-MW Richland Wind Farm in Sac County, located in west-central Iowa. The now
operational wind farm is among five wind projects across seven counties in the state. Collectively, the projects provide Iowa customers and communities with
new renewable energy and are expected to provide power to approximately 430,000 Iowa homes. Completing the Richland Wind project expands the
company’s total of owned and operated wind generation in the state to nearly 1,300 total MW. This investment in wind energy for Iowa customers generates
significant financial benefits through tax revenue for communities and lease payments to landowners. Alliant Energy began construction on the Richland
Wind Farm in July 2019 and is now the third largest utility owner-operator of regulated wind in the United States. The company reached a significant
milestone over a two-day period in March 2020 when it generated enough renewable wind energy to meet all its Iowa customers’ energy needs from its
owned wind farms and wind purchase power agreements. Alliant Energy’s wind projects keep the company on its path toward achieving their new,
aspirational goal of eliminating CO2 emissions from the energy the company generates by 2050, a goal that’s outlined in the company’s latest Corporate
Responsibility Report.

Ameren Missouri project bolsters energy reliability for St. Louis city and county businesses
and families
50
Ameren Missouri, in partnership with Ameren Transmission Company, is investing in rebuilding approximately 10 miles of transmission line in the City of
St. Louis and St. Louis County. The work will improve energy grid reliability, support growing energy needs in local communities and improve access to
cleaner energy sources. The 138,000-volt transmission line will be rebuilt on existing right-of-way in South St. Louis City and County and cross the
Mississippi River to Dupo, Illinois. Due to COVID-19, Ameren is taking action to keep the public and its employees safe and healthy. Rather than an
in-person project forum, the Metro South Reliability Project team is providing community members and interested stakeholders with an online opportunity
to learn more about the project. Construction on the 10-mile project is expected to be completed in winter 2022. Because the project area runs through an
area with a high population of the Bosnian community, project information will be available in the Bosnian language as well as English. The project is part
of Ameren Missouri's Smart Energy Plan, the largest energy infrastructure plan in the company’s 100-plus-year history. The forward thinking plan is building
a brighter future for Missouri with a smarter, more reliable energy grid, giving Ameren Missouri customers greater control over their energy usage, more
affordable rates and a faster transition to cleaner energy.

RWE (Germany) secures lease agreements to develop four offshore wind farm extensions
projects in the United Kingdom
52
RWE Renewables and its project partners have signed with The Crown Estate Agreements for Lease for developing four projects in the United Kingdom to extend
the existing offshore wind farms Gwynt y Môr, Galloper, Greater Gabbard and Rampion. The granted seabed leases comprise extension projects with a combined
potential installed capacity of around 1.8 Gigawatts (GW), with RWE’s pro rata share amounting to almost 900 megawatts (MW). Furthermore, it was decided to
seek to develop the remaining seabed option at the original Zone 6 of the existing Rampion project and combine this with the extension project at this windfarm.
All projects are in very early stages. The necessary development and consenting activities will now progress in accordance with current UK Government guidelines
which will include comprehensive stakeholder consultation and determining each project’s exact installed capacity. The consenting processes are expected to take
three to five years with participation in auctions for a Contract for Difference (CfD) and construction following thereafter. The wind farms could become fully
operational towards the end of the decade. RWE will take the lead on behalf of partners for the development of the Awel y Môr and Five Estuaries offshore wind
farms. RWE and SSE Renewables have formed a 50:50 joint venture company to develop the North Falls offshore wind farm together. Rampion 2 is a joint venture
between RWE, a Macquarie-led consortium and Enbridge. RWE will manage the project.
