These slides and the accompanying oral presentation contain certain “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadiansecurities laws, which may include, but is not limited to, statements with respect to future events or future performance,management’s expectations regarding our growth, results of operations, estimated future revenues, requirements for additionalcapital, production costs and revenue, future demand for and prices of electricity, business prospects, opportunities and estimates ofrecoverable geothermal energy “resources” or “reserves” or energy generation capacities (at either P90 or based on the GeothermalCode for Public Reporting) Such forward looking information reflects management’s current beliefs and is based on informationCode for Public Reporting). Such forward-looking information reflects management s current beliefs and is based on informationcurrently available to management.

A number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, may cause our actual results or performance to materiallydiffer from any future results or performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking information.

Theforward-looking information is also based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, including, but not limitedg p g p gto, assumptions about: the success and timely completion of planned exploration and expansion programs, including expansion andimprovements to operations in Iceland and to our Soda Lake Operation in Nevada; the growth rate in net electricity consumption;support and demand for non-hydroelectric renewables; government initiatives to support the development of renewable energygeneration; the accuracy of resource and reserve estimation methodology and probabilistic analysis used to estimate the quantity ofpotentially recoverable energy; geological, geophysical, geochemical and other conditions at our properties; the reliability of technicaldata, including extrapolated temperature gradient, geophysical and geochemical surveys and geothermometer calculations; capitalexpenditure estimates; availability of capital to fund exploration development and expansion programs; the differences in financialexpenditure estimates; availability of capital to fund exploration, development and expansion programs; the differences in financialresults reported under IFRS and Canadian GAAP; and general economic conditions. Forward-looking information and statementsare also based upon the assumption that none of the identified risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from theforward-looking information and statements will occur.

Geothermal - What is it?

Geothermal is a proven, global, underexploited, base-load, renewable energy sourceLiterally heat from the earth, derived from deep natural magma (molten rock)Requires Heat, Permeability and Water

Magma Energy - Strategy & Value Creation

Magma’s strategy: broad asset portfolio and scale = “discovery returns” and “utility returns” Reduces drilling risk and high front-end capital risk Improves margins with lower cost of capital Better multiples Better multiples

Portfolio acquisition & discovery highlights: Nevada: 13.5 MW power plant with 47.5 MW

expansion potentialp p Iceland: 98.5% interest in HS Orka’s 2 power plants

producing 175 MW with 230 MW expansion potential Chile: discovery of 320 MW Inferred Resource Plus a further 21 early stage and 4 advanced stage projects

We are a power company and an energy asset holder

Income growth and sub-surface capital asset growth

Geothermal power can be the lowest cost and cleanest form of electricity generation Potentially a great cash generator without incentives Incentives (USA Europe Chile) greatly improve margins Incentives (USA, Europe, Chile) greatly improve margins
