THIRD QUARTER PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE
Further to the third quarter update issued on 26 November 2025, US Solar Fund plc (LON:USF (USD)/USFP (GBP)), the renewable energy fund investing in utility-scale solar power plants across North America, is providing additional detail on its portfolio performance.
As previously announced, for the 9-month period to 30 September 2025, portfolio generation was 11.5% below forecast, with 11.0% attributable to technical (non-weather) factors and 0.5% attributable to below forecast solar irradiance.
For the 3-month period to 30 September 2025, generation was 13.3% below forecast, with 11.2% due to technical (non-weather) factors, and 2.1% due to below forecast solar irradiance.
Portfolio detail
At a portfolio level, the majority of this 11.2% variance was attributable to the performance of the Heelstone and Granite portfolios. These portfolios were primarily impacted by downtime at projects identified for capital initiatives as well as utility grid outages, site damage due to theft, and parts unavailability due to supply constraints.
Approximately 70% of the 11.2% variance was attributable to 15 assets and half of the 11.2% variance was attributable to 7 assets. Detailed disclosure on performance variance attributable to technical (non-weather) factors, split by portfolio and asset, has been published on the Company's website at website at www.ussolarfund.co.uk (refer to Investor Centre -> Key Documents and Disclosure -> Key Documents -> USF Third Quarter 2025 Portfolio Performance Summary).

Future quarterly disclosure
Further to this, additional asset performance detail will be provided by the Investment Manager each quarter, available at the same location as above.
