Forward Guidance

For the first quarter to date, GRE and GREI, which are predominantly electricity-based, have been insulated against the volatility of energy prices due to our strong risk management programs. Beyond the first quarter, we currently plan to invest in sales and marketing activities to drive customer growth in GRE and GREI. Genie Renewables is positioned for robust growth during 2022 with current solar project signed contracts that, if constructed and completed, would triple our solar revenue from 2021. Overall, we expect Genie Renewables to deliver $15-20 million of revenue in 2022 while we continue to invest in opportunities that will drive medium to long-term growth
