4 IMPLEMENTATION PARTNERSHIPS RMI-CWR engage with businesses, communities, institutions and entrepreneurs to accelerate the adoption of market-based solutions that cost-effectively shift from fossil fuels to efficiency and renewables. DNV GL and KEMA is an independent foundation that works provides power flow modelling, technology evaluation and generation, transmission and distribution investments. SOPESA S.A. E.S.P. is the archipelago's utility company. Generates, distributes and commercializes the energy. EEDAS - the energy company of the archipelago department of San Andrés, Providencia, and Santa Catalina - develops all activities related to electricity service in the department.

6 PROJECT S GOAL To accelerate commercial opportunities to transition island economies off fossil fuels and create a blueprint for other isolated economies.

7 THE STORY

8 SAN ANDRÉS, PROVIDENCIA AND SANTA CATALINA ARCHIPELAGO San Andrés is the main island, with a 27 square kilometers and a population.

9 SAN ANDRÉS, PROVIDENCIA & SANTA CATALINA ARCHIPELAGO Providencia and Santa Catalina, smaller islands, with people.

10 ELECTRICITY CHARACTERISTICS San Andrés Total customers: Installed Capacity: 64 MW Peak Demand: 31 MW Providence Total Customers: Installed Capacity: 4 MW Peak Demand: 1.8 MW Sector San Andrés Providence Residential Industrial/ Hotel Commercial Official Other Total

11 HOW FUEL GET S TO THE ISLAND ~ 250,000 gallons of diesel shipped each week ~ Lasts five to seven days at the SOPESA holding tanks

12 Estimated annual GWh/year ESTIMATED ENERGY CONSUMPTION ON ISLAND All Other Residential Buildings Commercial & Hotels On Island Transportation Total Consumption Aviation

13 Cost Per kwh USD RESIDENTIAL RATES 0.3 Residential Customer Class (Level 1-6) Subsidy Costo to user

14 Cost per kwh USD ALL OTHER CUSTOMER RATES Customer Class Subsidy 0.10 Cost to User Industrial and Commercial Official Special

15 SUMMARY Environmental Hazards. Weekly shipping and vulnerable to storms and delays. Highly subsidized. Huge subsidy burden carried by the National Government. High electricity prices for customers. Even with subsidy, still paying highest electricity prices in Colombia.

19 SOLAR ROOFTOP POTENTIAL DNV GL completed a preliminary review of existing large commercial and government/public buildings (e.g., hotels, sports stadiums, etc.) for rooftop solar PV, and estimated ~3.5 MW potential (examples shown below and to the right ). 19

20 THE PROCESS

21 THE ISLAND PLAYBOOK 21

22 PHASE 0 AND 1: ISLAND ENGAGEMENT AND SETTING THE VISION 1. Get alignment and engagement from key stakeholders. Agreement on the suggested process and roles of the team are determined 2. Set vision and target for an energy transition. Solicit the community s voice in establishing San Andrés and Providencia s vision and unlock some of the bottlenecks. Host a visioning workshop that will explore future energy goals and targets dovetailed with a series of community consultations 22

23 PHASE II AND III: OPPORTUNITY ROADMAP & PROJECT PREPARATION 1. Investigate the economics and financial feasibility of viable energy pathways. Develop a fact base. Identify future energy scenarios. 2. Identify the necessary policy and regulatory revisions that need to be made. 3. Develop a strategy and business plan. 4. Help develop a pipeline of bankable RE projects 23
