No impact from Electricity Generator Levy

Atrato Onsite Energy plc (LSE: ROOF), the investment trust focusing on UK commercial onsite solar, provides an update on the Electricity Generator Levy outlined by the UK Government as part of the Autumn Statement 2022 ("the Levy"). The investment adviser's initial assessment is that the Company will not be affected by the Levy.

The Levy is a temporary windfall tax of 45% that will be applied to wholesale market revenues above £75/MWh on UK low-carbon electricity generation. The Levy will be applied from 1 January 2023 until 31 March 2028.

The Company's focus on long-term highly contracted solar PV systems results in a low sensitivity to wholesale power prices. Based on the current portfolio and pipeline, the Levy is not expected to impact the Company's target returns or net asset value.
