Greencoat Renewables New Green Digital Infrastructure Platform

Dublin, London, Johannesburg | 5 March 2026: Greencoat Renewables PLC ("Greencoat
Renewables" or the "Company") today announces the launch of a new green digital
infrastructure platform and first investment, Drogheda Energy Park.

Greencoat Renewables PLC, announces it is investing in its first green digital infrastructure
opportunity in Ireland and launching a new platform (the "Platform") to capitalise on the
opportunity of renewably powered data centres.

The Platform will focus on opportunities where grid access, land and energy infrastructure can
be combined to serve the fast-growing and high energy requirements of digital infrastructure,
supporting AI-led growth, and will leverage Greencoat Renewables' experience as one of
Europe's leading listed renewable infrastructure investors.

The Platform's first investment is Drogheda Energy Park, on Ireland's east coast. The ambition of
the Platform is to invest in further data centre opportunities in Ireland and other European
countries.

The platform is a 50:50 joint venture between Greencoat Renewables PLC and Schroders
Greencoat's evergreen vehicle, SCSL Global Energy Infrastructure.

Paul O'Donnell, Investment Manager at Schroders Greencoat, said:

"There is an exciting opportunity in integrating data centre demand with renewable energy
generation to support the rapid growth of AI driven digital infrastructure. Building on our track
record in renewable energy generation, Drogheda Energy Park represents a logical next step for
our business and a blueprint for future investment opportunities.

Ireland is at the start of the next digital infrastructure investment cycle, supported by innovative
new Government policy. AI driven demand for data centres, combined with the need to deliver
sustainable energy solutions to support the national grid, calls for trusted, experienced operators
who can deliver on Ireland's energy needs at scale. We are well positioned to deliver large, high-
impact projects that will boost energy security, support digitalisation, and contribute to Ireland's
net-zero ambitions."

Irish Market Opportunity

Ireland is one of the leading European markets for hyperscalers and large energy users and is
entering the next cycle of digital infrastructure development following the Irish Government's
recently launched Large Energy-Users Action Plan (LEAP). LEAP is a pioneering framework for
enabling the build out of digital infrastructure in a way that minimises impacts on the grid and
supports national climate objectives. It has the potential to be replicated throughout Europe and
aligns closely with the Company's ambitions for this Platform.

Energy supply and power management are considered the most complex and value-critical part
of delivering data centres and digital infrastructure at scale, encompassing generation, grid
connection, storage, balancing and regulation. Greencoat Renewables has the scale, generation
capacity, relationships and grid expertise in Ireland to capitalise on this opportunity.

Drogheda Energy Park

The Platform's first investment will be Drogheda Energy Park, a measured but strategically
significant first step into a large and fast-growing market opportunity. The Platform has acquired
the Premier Periclase facility in Drogheda, County Louth, approximately 40km north of Dublin.
The site is a brownfield industrial site located beside Drogheda Port, with access to significant
existing infrastructure. It will be developed as an integrated energy park combining flexible on-
site generation, storage, and advanced grid-services capability. The site intends to source its
electricity requirements from renewable energy assets through corporate power purchase
agreements, decarbonising energy usage for co-located large energy users. Drogheda Energy
Park is at an advanced stage of planning consent for its initial 36MW data centre project with
significant local support for the further development of the energy park.

The development of Drogheda Energy Park is also expected to support regional investment and
employment through the reuse and remediation of an established industrial site.

The Company has listings on the Alternative Investment Market of the LSE and the Euronext
Growth Market of Euronext Dublin and a secondary listing on the Alternative Exchange of the JSE.
