uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this report, including, without limitation: (i) the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely
manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of TRTL’s securities, (ii) the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed by TRTL’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of
the business combination deadline if sought by TRTL, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the requirements that the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereby be approved by the shareholders of TRTL and by the stockholders of One Energy, respectively, (iv) the failure to obtain regulatory approvals and any other third party consents, as applicable, as may be required to
consummate the Business Combination, (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, or that redemptions by TRTL public shareholders may exceed
expectations, (vi) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Business Combination on One Energy’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally, (vii) risks that the Business Combination disrupts current
plans and operations of One Energy, (viii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against One Energy or against TRTL related to the Business Combination Agreement or the Business Combination, (ix) the ability to
maintain the listing of TRTL’s securities on New York Stock Exchange, (x) changes in the competitive market in which One Energy operates, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting One
Energy’s business and changes in the capital structure of Pubco after the Closing, (xi) the ability to implement business plans, growth, marketplace, customer pipeline and other expectations after the completion of the Business
Combination, and identify and realize additional opportunities, (xii) the potential inability of One Energy to achieve its business and growth plans, (xiii) the ability of One Energy to enforce its current material contracts or to secure
long-term or other committed contracts with new or existing customers on terms favorable to One Energy, (xiv) the risk that One Energy will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plans, which may not be available on acceptable
terms or at all, (xv) the risk that One Energy experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations, (xvi) the risk of One Energy’s cyber security measures being unable to prevent hacking or disruption to One
Energy’s customers, and (xvii) the risk of economic downturn, increased competition, a changing of energy regulatory landscape and related impacts that could occur in the highly competitive energy market, including, among other things,
that One Energy will not meet milestones for funding its ongoing and future project pipeline. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Recipients should carefully consider such factors and the other risks and uncertainties described and to
be described in the “Risk Factors” section of TRTL’s initial public offering prospectus filed with the SEC on July 21, 2021, TRTL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made. Recipients are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and neither One Energy nor TRTL assume any obligation to, nor
intend to, update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Neither One Energy nor TRTL gives any assurance that either One Energy or TRTL, or Pubco,

TIME TO READ THESE IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS, WARNINGS, AND CLARIFICATIONS One Energy Enterprises Inc. (“One Energy” and referred to herein from time to time as “One Power”) has prepared this presentation. This Presentation
contains information about a proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) between One Energy and TortoiseEcofin Acquisition Corp. III (referred to as “TRTL”). The information contained herein does not purport to
be all-inclusive and the information contained herein is preliminary and subject to change and such changes may be material. No securities commission or securities regulatory authority in the United States or any other jurisdiction has in any way
passed upon the merits of the Business Combination or the accuracy or adequacy of this presentation. Neither One Power nor TRTL provide any guarantees of any kind that the Business Combination will be consummated. This presentation does not
constitute (i) a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination or (ii) an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation to purchase, any securities
of One Power, TRTL or any of their respective affiliates. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or
an exemption therefrom, nor shall any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction be
effected. In connection with the proposed Business Combination, TRTL Holding Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of TRTL, filed a registration statement on Form S-4 on May 13, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) that includes a preliminary proxy statement to be distributed to shareholders of TRTL in connection with TRTL’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by its shareholders with respect to the Business

available, the Registration Statement and preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and any amendments thereto, and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus in connection with TRTL’s solicitation of proxies for the special meeting to be held to
approve the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination. shareholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus once they are available, without charge,

that such information becomes inaccurate. The delivery of this presentation and the information contained herein shall not create any liability or obligation whatsoever for TRTL or One Power. No representations or warranties are made by One Power or
TRTL or any of their affiliates as to the accuracy or completeness of any statements contained in this presentation or any additional materials. This presentation should not be considered as a recommendation by One Power or TRTL or any of their
respective agents to acquire any securities or to enter into any transaction. This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, that reflect current views of
One Power or TRTL with respect to, among other things, operations and financial performance. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,”
“continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “future,”
“will,” “seek,” “foreseeable” and similar terms and phrases in this presentation. All statements about the future are forward looking statements unless unambiguously noted otherwise. Forward-looking statements
contained in this presentation are based on One Power’s current expectations and are subject to changes in circumstances and other risks and uncertainties. Given One Power's rapid growth and the significant impact of the proposed merger, the
likelihood of discrepancies in these forward-looking statements is increased. One Power and TRTL cannot assure you that future developments affecting One Power or TRTL will be those that One Power or TRTL have anticipated. Actual results may differ
materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional or local economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of TRTL or One Power. Any forward-looking statement made by
One Power or TRTL in this presentation speaks only as of the date of this presentation. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for One Power or TRTL to predict all of
them. One Power may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements do not reflect the
potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, investments or other strategic transactions One Power may make. One Power and TRTL undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities laws. VERSION 20240521

collaborate to complete the PDDP to ensure the project is “shovel ready”. On-site data campaign is completed to lock in REA rate (if needed) and determine turbine model site suitability. Wind Resource Assessment (WRA) and Project
Performance Report (PPR) follow our published methodologies.
