Fortum Concludes New Nuclear Feasibility Study and Continues to Develop Nuclear as A Future Option Fortum has concluded its extensive feasibility study exploring the commercial, technological, and societal prerequisites for new nuclear in Finland and Sweden. The two-year study covered both small modular reactors (SMRs) and conventional large reactors, and involved in depth discussions with several technology vendors, potential partners and customers as well as societal stakeholders. Fortum will now continue to develop its capabilities to have new nuclear as an option to meet future customer demand in the Nordics in the longer term. In addition, Fortum sees the development work as a step in preparing for the eventual replacement of the existing nuclear capacity. Most large industrial customers value a stable electricity supply profile and want to secure deliveries with long-term contracts, which nuclear power already provides. Maintaining a balanced power mix brings also benefits to security of supply and stability for all customers and society. At the same time, the main risks of new nuclear projects relate to the long construction times, high capital requirements, and market price of electricity post commissioning. A conclusion of Fortum's study is that with the current power market outlook, new nuclear is not economically viable on a merchant basis only. However, based on the analysis Fortum conducted and based on newbuild projects ongoing in other western countries, new nuclear projects can be manageable with a solid risk sharing framework - like the one being prepared by the Swedish government - when matched with increased customer demand. An important part of de-risking new nuclear is also regulatory harmonization and political stability beyond electoral cycles on both EU and national levels. Crucially, nuclear power should be treated on equal footing with other clean production technologies when it comes to financing and as raw material for low-carbon products such as hydrogen, fertilizers and clean steel. In addition, maintaining a sound operating environment for existing nuclear operations is essential for anyone considering future investments. During the feasibility study, Fortum's nuclear experts spent thousands of hours evaluating different large and small modular reactor (SMR) designs together with vendors. Fortum will now continue to deepen the collaboration with two conventional reactor technology providers, EDF and Westinghouse-Hyundai, and one SMR developer, GE-Hitachi. Announcement • Feb 27

Fortum Conducts Feasibility Study to Explore Prerequisites for New Pumped Hydro Storage Fortum has initiated a two-year feasibility study to explore prerequisites for new pumped hydro storage plants. The company will examine commercial, technological, environmental and regulatory conditions for new pumped hydro storage plants in Sweden. The feasibility study will focus on thorough assessments of three areas in Sweden and will explore whether building new pumped hydro storages fulfil Fortum’s criteria of economic viability and environmental requirements while contributing to security of energy supply for the society. The geographic focus of the feasibility study are in three areas: in Lekstjärnen, next to Fortum’s hydropower plant in Trängslet in Dalarna County, and Bastvålen and Höljessjön in Värmland County. Already Fortum operates three pumped storage power plants; Kymmen, Letten and Eggsjön in Värmland, Sweden. The installed capacity of Fortum’s existing pumped storage plants in Sweden is 89.5 MW. The future potential power increase from pumped storage plants will be analyzed in the feasibility study. The objectives of the feasibility study are in line with Fortum’s strategy to provide reliable clean energy and drive de-carbonisation in industries in the Nordics, and to contribute to a successful energy transition which supports the competitiveness of the Nordic region going forward. The volatility in the power market will increase as the share of weather-dependent renewables increases in the energy system. The role of flexible solutions, such as flexible pumped hydro storage, will be crucial in an expanding energy system to meet the increasing electricity demand, balance the energy system and help mitigate short-term changes in demand.

Fortum Reportedly to Sell Majority Stakes in Renewable, EV Charging Businesses in India Fortum Oyj (HLSE:FORTUM) has engaged EY and London-based Opus Corporate Finance LLP to oversee the sale of majority stakes in its Indian renewable energy platform and electric vehicle (EV) charging network, respectively. Known respectively as Fortum India Pvt. Ltd. (FIPL) and GLIDA, the two assets are part of Fortum's strategic shift to focus on its core Nordic markets amid geopolitical challenges. The deals have an equity value of approximately $300 million (around INR 27,000 million), according to two individuals familiar with the development. The first transaction, termed "Project Samsara", involves Fortum divesting its majority stake in FIPL, the management company responsible for spearheading the utility's renewable energy initiatives in India, and a $300 million investment for future projects. FIPL is currently developing a 200 megawatts (MW) commercial and industrial (C&I) solar-wind hybrid project, with an additional 600 MW of ready-to-build projects in the pipeline. The second transaction, dubbed "Butterfly," focuses on GLIDA, formerly known as Fortum Charge & Drive India Pvt. Ltd. This entity operates around 850 EV charging points across India. This divestment strategy coincides with AM Green's plans to acquire Fortum Oyj's and Chempolis Oy's 50% stake in their joint venture, Assam Bio Refinery Pvt Ltd, along with the Finnish biotechnology firm Chempolis Oy, as previously reported by Mint. The move signals Fortum's broader strategy to streamline its operations and focus on core markets. "Fortum is seeking an investor in its Indian renewable energy business in a mix of secondary sale and primary infusion. It is also looking to sell stake in its EV charging business," said one of the two people cited above requesting anonymity. The proposed sales come in the wake of the war in Ukraine, which led to disruptions in gas supply and significant losses for Fortum's majority-owned subsidiary, Uniper, which was subsequently sold to the German government at a loss of around €6 billion. Additionally, the Russian Federation seized Fortum's Russian assets, valued at approximately €5 billion. These events have forced Fortum, the third-largest Nordic utility, to
refocus its strategy, concentrating on its core Nordic market and reducing its presence in other regions, including India. Fortum India president Sanjay Aggarwal declined to comment on the developments. An EY spokesperson also refrained from commenting, while a Fortum Corp. spokesperson, in an emailed response, said, "As a stock listed company, we do not comment on any market rumours or speculations".

Dividend of €0.57 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of €0.57. Ex-date: 1st October 2024 Payment date: 9th October 2024 Dividend yield will be 10%, which is higher than the industry average of 4.3%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by both earnings (68% earnings payout ratio) and cash flows (83% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. EPS is expected to decline by 39% over the next 3 years. Since a fall of 24% would increase the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, the dividend may be at risk. Upcoming Dividend • Mar 19
