Since our last update, crews have nearly completed work on the project laydown yard on State Route 4, including the delivery of job trailers and the installation of safety fencing. Crews have also been inspecting the full linear facilities route of the project, including locations of all turbines, access roads, underground collection corridors, and crane paths. Other key construction activities since our last construction update include: Completion of the limited tree clearing needed for access road installation and facility placement. Approximately 30% of access road entrances from local roadways have been installed. Signage installed for routes covered by local road use agreements, ensuring construction traffic uses the designated routes. Ongoing material and equipment deliveries Access Road entrance installation Looking ahead, activities anticipated to take place over the next month include: Continued access road installation working from the South to the North Site preparation for project substation and GE welcome center, where trucks carrying wind turbine components can check in prior to final delivery to turbine locations. Turbine Foundation excavation Long-term, our anticipated construction schedule is as follows (subject to change): Spring 2026 Access roads (April/May) Road Widening/Surface Upgrades(May/June) Turbine Foundation Excavations (May) Start of Substation construction (May) Summer 2026 Foundation Rebar Install/Concrete Pour (June) Collection line trenching/installation (June) . Transmission Line Construction (August) Component deliveries begin (August) Fall 2026  Turbine deliveries Tower installation Spring 2027  Turbine commissioning Project Energization (May 2027) Summer/Fall 2027 Site restoration (June 2027) Commencement of operations (July 2027)

In the past month, crews have made progress in the construction of the primary laydown yard on State Route 4, which will host the construction job trailers and serve as the main staging area for construction equipment. Other key construction activities since our last construction update include: Limited tree clearing where necessary for access road installation and facility placement. Ongoing stone delivery for laydown yard, welcome center, and access road construction. Ongoing material and equipment deliveries as laydown yard nears completion Looking ahead, activities anticipated to take place over the next month include: Site preparation for project substation and GE welcome center, where trucks carrying wind turbine components can check in prior to final delivery to turbine locations. Preliminary work on access road entrances and temporary turns Turbine Foundation excavation Ongoing consultations with OPSB staff on the project's civil design Long-term, our anticipated construction schedule is as follows (subject to change): Spring 2026 Access roads (April/May) Road Widening/Surface Upgrades(May/June) Turbine Foundation Excavations (May) Substation construction (May) Summer 2026 Foundation Rebar Install/Concrete Pour (June) Collection line trenching/installation (June) .

In recent weeks, you may have noticed some activity around the project site as we move toward a broader mobilization of our construction workforce by lead contractor, Barton Malow. Construction activities will be staged from our primary laydown yard located on State Route 4, just North of Young Rd. Establishment of the laydown yard, including gravel deliveries, job trailer staging, and equipment mobilization will continue in the coming weeks (read more in our construction update below). For February, key construction activities include: Stripping and stockpiling topsoil for installation of the construction laydown yard (this prevents soil mixing and preserves topsoil to be redistributed when the laydown yard is restored post-construction) Limited tree clearing where necessary for access road installation and facility placement.

Happy New Year from the Emerson Creek Wind team! With the holiday break behind us, our construction team is focused on important site preparation items before the formal project laydown yard is installed. Some initial construction items over the past month include: Location flagging for access road entrances, laydown yard, and other site preparation activities Initial component delivery (i.e. Conex storage, anchor bolts for turbine foundations, and other materials) Access road entrances and other locations are being flagged throughout project area As we move forward, you should notice increased activity around the project site in early February for the installation of the main laydown yard and other site preparation activities. Rest assured, we're working diligently to minimize disruptions while making steady progress on this important project for Erie and Huron counties.
