   Transmission Capital Partners Consortium Awarded 
 Offshore Transmission 
                                    Projects 
 
International Public Partnerships Limited (INPP), the listed infrastructure 
investment company, is pleased to announce that Transmission Capital Partners, 
the consortium comprising Amber Infrastructure, Transmission Capital and INPP 
has been appointed as preferred bidder for three of the seven projects awarded 
under Ofgem's first round of tenders for the long-term licence and operation of 
offshore transmission assets in the UK. 
The projects relate to the transmission cable connections to the recently 
constructed offshore wind farms at Barrow, Gunfleet Sands and Robin Rigg, which 
have a combined generation capacity of approximately 430 MW of energy. All three 
projects are already operational. 
The assets comprise onshore/offshore substations and under-sea cables connecting 
the mainland electricity grid network to the offshore wind-farms. 
The concession term for each project is 20 years and is fully indexed to UK RPI 
and the total capital value for the three projects is approximately GBP142 
million. Further financial information will be available following financial 
close. 
The consortium remains shortlisted for two further offshore transmission 
projects, which are expected to be awarded by Ofgem by the end of 2010 or early 
2011. 
These concessions form part of the first offshore transmission tender round and 
similar schemes are expected to be developed as the offshore generation industry 
expands. New opportunities with a total development value of up to GBP14bn are 
expected over the next nine years. 
Giles Frost, Director of Amber, said: "We are delighted to have been selected 
for the award of three of the seven concessions announced by Ofgem yesterday. We 
expect renewable energy projects such as these will be a key focus of the 
Government going forward and these projects will be the foundation of a 
long-term commitment by Amber and INPP to the offshore transmission and 
renewable energy sectors."
