  • 100% renewable targets help to create a positive brand awareness

  • Furthermore, direct power purchase agreements between companies and power producers from renewable energy resources offer long-term supply at fixed rates

Demand via PPAs and purchase of green certificates

HIGH-ENERGY CONSUMING DATA CENTRES OF MULTINATIONALS

Electricity consumption of Major Tech-Companies Consumption driven by data centres

  • U.S. data centre electricity consumption in 2014: 70 billion kilowatt-hours (CAGR 4% until 2020)

  • Global data centre market expected to grow further to \$23bn by 2019 (CAGR +9%)

THE "GOLDEN END" OF ENCAVIS'S POWER PLANTS

Illustration of the different cash flows of a solar PV park

Assumptions

  • Solar-park connected to the grid in 2010 with FIT for 20 years (t20)

  • Park is bought in Q2 2011, first full year of operation 2012 (t2)

  • Non-recourse project financing will be serviced and paid-off by the park

! As the loan is paid-off during the FIT-period, parks are very profitable in the "golden end"

Power Uprates

Power Uprates for installed turbines increase annual electricity production of turbines by up to 3% without effecting the turbine design life

Optimizing power curves

Improve efficiency of turbine at lower wind speeds through software updates and the optimization of regular downtimes, of blade pitch angle and of gondola alignment

Battery storage The energy system of the future

INCREASING SHARE OF RENEWABLES IN POWER SECTOR CREATES NEW CHALLENGES

Hour of Day

  • Supply based on coal, nuclear and gas

  • Large, centralized power plants

  • National markets not interconnected

Source: Own illustration

Electricity demand and historic supply mix Conceptual supply mix in the future

Hour of Day

  • Supply based on Renewables and flexible gas power plants

  • Electricity storage with increasing importance

  • Decentralized power generation with prosumers

NEW BUSINESS CASES FOR ELECTRICITY STORAGE

MARKET FOR ELECTRICITY STORAGE IS ALREADY GROWING. PROMISING OUTLOOK

Annually commissioned utility-scale storage

  • Strong increase in annual commissions

  • Growth distributed globally

Source: BNEF

Lithium-ion technology currently standard technology

Future market outlook for storage applications

  • Strong growth in all regions until 2030 as storage is needed to integrate renewables into power sectors and thus guarantee security of supply

  • Decreasing costs drive capacity additions

AS INSTALLED CAPACITIES INCREASE COSTS ARE FORECASTED TO FALL

Reduction of costs for energy storage systems Case example: Xcel Energy's tender

  • Resource solicitation for RES generation plus storage

  • Submission of 400 individual proposals

  • Median price for wind-plus-storage projects was \$21/MWh and for solar-plus-storage was \$36/MWh

  • Combined bids are only \$3-\$7 higher than standalone wind- and solar power plants

BATTERY STORAGE: POSSIBLE MARKET ENTRANCE FOR ENCAVIS

Business model with minimised risks…

  • Encavis is owner and operator of utility-scale batteries

  • Encavis transfers usage of batteries via long-term contracts

  • Projects are bankable

  • Partner is responsible for the marketing of the batteryservices

… and great opportunities

  • Diversification of Portfolio

  • Complementary to RES power generation

  • Early bird advantages

  • Increase revenues of parks after end of FIT ("Golden End")
