Significant growth opportunities cont'd

The company owns and operates 7MWp of installed capacity; has 130MWp at various stages in the pipeline and ca. 1 870MWp in additional opportunities

  • In total, the management team estimates that roughly 2 000MWp out of the total 19 000MWp installed in Italy meets the company's investment criteria
  • Immediate pipeline to acquire three high quality solar parks for an equity consideration of approx. EUR 2.9 million, with a combined capacity of 3.5MWp. For these three plants, Aega has signed exclusive agreements to acquire the plants and enter into a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) within weeks. The DD process is well underway, and we are confident about the quality of these three parks in almost all respects.
  • Short-term pipeline of combined 15.3MWp at an equity cost of EUR 13.0 million. These are parks we have visited, and for some, even DDs have been done. We are on «Term Sheet level» with the relevant Sellers, and we are ready to accelerate the process once we have security on available funding.
  • Long-term pipeline of combined 111MWp at an expected equity cost of approx. EUR 100 million.

Opex reached target level

Opex has been downward trending and has now reached the target which we consider being a sustainable level. The figures include:

  • Operation
  • Maintenance
  • Spare parts
  • Security
  • Insurance
  • O&M Management

Base Case vs Actual vs Target Opex (k€/MWp/year)

Market price on electricity higher than forecasts

  • The market price component of Aega's revenue represent around 15-20% of total revenue
  • The average market price on electricity has increased 20% from Q4 2016 average to YTD average in 2017.

Spot price increase due to:

  • Higher electricity demands
  • Increased alternative power source cost

Aega uses currently a spot price of 0.04EUR/kWh (=40EUR/MWh) when assessing investment opportunities.

Average National Single Price Italy (EUR/MWh)

Financial results

  • Naturally the Q2 and Q3 revenues are the highest because of the high irradiation and subsequent power production in the summer months.
  • HQ cost and admin, are cost that to a large extent are fixed. Salary to administration and the Board in Oslo, auditors, accounting, listing fees etc. is not expected to grow notably with MWp under management compared to other costs that are proportional with the size of the portfolio.
  • Non-recurring in Q2 2017 are cost related to due diligence work and legal fees not materialised in acquisitions.
