ENCAVIS PORTFOLIO – PV ACCOUNTS FOR >2/3 OF THE ENCAVIS PORTFOLIO
! PV >2/3 of the renewable energy asset portfolio of Encavis; ~15 years remaining FIT maturity
DIVERSIFICATION BY TECHNOLOGY (WIND/PV) WITH COMPLEMENTARY INCOME STREAMS OVER THE YEAR
Demand for renewables to increase
Shift from government-set tariffs to competitive auctions and longterm power purchase agreements
Reduction of production- and technology costs
Increasing experience in O&M
COP 21 Paris: 196 countries united to limit global warming below 2°C
Europe 20-20-20 targets
China: largest installed renewables fleets
Denuclearization in Germany and Japan
Creation of low-carb economies
Private companies create global initiatives in order to take action on climate change.
Multinational companies such as Google, Facebook and Microsoft go ahead with ambitious targets
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
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%)
96% of Facebook's electricity consumption related to its data centres
In 2016 Google planned the construction of 12 new cloud data centres
North American market with pioneering role
US companies search partners for PPAs in Europe
ENCAVIS registers increasing demand for PPAs also in Europe (Nordics, Spain, Italy, Ireland)
Major PPA deal in Europe in 2017: Norsk Hydro signs PPA until 2039 for 650 MW wind park in Sweden
PPAs are contracted for time periods from 6 20 years
THE "GOLDEN END" OF ENCAVIS'S POWER PLANTS
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"
Source: Company data
GOLDEN END" - PV PARKS STILL WITH HIGH EFFICIENCIES AND LOWEST MARGINAL COSTS
Operating renewable power plants
Specialized in technical operation of PV parks since 2008
The team is located in Halle (Saale) and consists of 16 project-experienced engineers, technicians and mechanics
Company is accepted by financing banks
Broad technology experience:
Crystalline and thin-film modules
Central and string inverters
Different monitoring systems
Integration of all parks into our centralized 24h control room
Calculation of yield reports and simulations based on actual irradiation levels
Handling of failure reports 365 days a year
Management of fast response fault clearance actions
Failure analysis and repair works directly on site are conducted by experienced and trained team
Our service vehicles hold comprehensive stock of spare parts
For major repairs teams of the component manufacturers are requested (for instance defective power sections)
Identification of strings with short circuits
Adjustment of the polarity
For instance repair of string-inverters with lightning damages (350 in the last 24 months)
Performance measurements for strings or single modules show performance reductions
In 2014 and 2015 our team replaced more than 20,000 defect modules
Power Uprates for installed turbines increase annual electricity production of turbines by up to 3% without effecting the turbine design life
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
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
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
Strong increase in annual commissions
Growth distributed globally
Lithium-ion technology currently standard technology
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
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
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
Diversification of Portfolio
Complementary to RES power generation
Early bird advantages
Increase revenues of parks after end of FIT ("Golden End")
ENCAVIS – ONE OF THE LARGEST INDEPENDENT AND LISTED EUROPEAN RENEWABLE IPPS
ENTREPRENEURIAL SHAREHOLDER STRUCTURE – STRONG AND LONG TERM ANCHOR INVESTORS
