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"

GOLDEN END" - PV PARKS STILL WITH HIGH EFFICIENCIES AND LOWEST MARGINAL COSTS
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

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
Strong increase in annual commissions
Growth distributed globally
Source: BNEF
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
