This document provides an overview of Project Gemini, a planned 600MW offshore wind farm project in the Netherlands. It will consist of two 300MW wind farms located 85km off the coast. When completed, it will be the largest offshore wind farm in the North Sea area with an estimated capital cost of €2.4 billion. The project is currently scheduled to reach financial close in summer 2012 and begin construction in 2013. It is expected to power 700,000 households annually while reducing CO2 emissions by over 1 million tons per year.

5. Typhoon Offshore: Building on Expertise
Typhoon Offshore
 Typhoon Offshore is the daughter company of
Typhoon Capital (Est. Amsterdam 2009) and is
dedicated to investing in and development of offshore
wind energy projects.
 Typhoon Offshore’s objective is to acquire stakes in
offshore wind projects in the North Sea. Typhoon
Offshore then contributes its expertise to bring these
projects to financial close, creating value and
compelling investment cases for long term investors.
 Members of Typhoon Offshore’s core-team • Strong transaction execution skills
successfully managed the landmark projects Belwind • M&A and financing expertise
and PrinsesAmalia [Q7] to financial close and during • Structuring capabilities

9. Project Gemini 600MW Offshore wind in the Netherlands
• Involved since September 2009, TO acquired 30% interest in
early 2010 and in August 2011 TO acquired full ownership of
the Dutch Project “Gemini” (formerly BARD Offshore
Netherlands).
• With its planned 600 MW capacity, it is the largest offshore
wind farm to date in the North Sea area, totalling a CAPEX of
€2.4 Bln.
• Financial close is scheduled for Summer 2012 and start of
construction in 2013
 Project characteristics
• Project Gemini consists of 2 X 300 MW fully permitted
offshore wind farms in the Netherlands.
• Buitengaats (300MW) and ZeeEnergie (300MW) have both an

Source:BWEA
• Piles are driven into the seabed at a suitable place. The top of the foundation is painted a bright colour to make it visible to ships and has
an access platform to allow maintenance teams to dock
• Once the turbine is assembled, sensors on the turbine detect the wind direction and turn the head, known as the nacelle, to face into the
wind, so that the blades can collect the maximum amount of energy. The movement of the wind over the aerodynamically shaped blades
(2) makes them rotate around a horizontal hub, which is connected to a shaft inside the nacelle (3). This shaft, via a gearbox, powers a
generator which converts the energy into electricity
• Submarine cables (4 & 7) transport the power to an offshore transformer (5) which converts the electricity to a high voltage before
running it back to connect to the grid at a substation on land (6)

32. (Possible) Impact of investments
• New permanent job creation in the region; direct as well as indirect
For our 600MW project:
– During installation and construction on average 500 fte/yr
– During operational phase on average 120 fte/yr
In Germany about 25,000MW will be realized
In the UK approximately 35,000MW
• Further development of the Dutch maritime and installation industry
• Dutch ports could become hubs for maintanence
• The Netherlands are located at a central position in the North Sea Area.

33. Eemshaven leading the way in offshore wind
North Sea: global centre for Offshore Wind
 Largest, most dedicated and concentrated area for
offshore wind power > planned capacity of 60 to 80 GW
to be operational in the next 20 years.
 After the nuclear disaster in Japan, several European
governments emphasised their necessity to switch to
other sustainable energy sources. Germany not only
decided to fully cancel their nuclear energy
development program, they even decided to
completely stop their nuclear energy production
 Offshore wind considered one of the main sources
for sustainable Job creation and renewable energy in
North-West Europe. Strong dedication and support
from the public/governmental sector will accelerate UK: 36 GW / Germany: 25 GW / Belgium: 2 GW / Netherlands:
3 GW /France 6 GW / Others (Scandinavia):
development and further shorten the planned timelines 10 GW
towards project completion.
