Regulatory Framework / Project Documentation Albania Regulatory Framework Energy trade is liberalized allowing producers to sell electricity to all markets Since 10 th May 2013 a new Renewable Energy Law has been implemented Regulation allows the construction of high number of various renewable energy facilities Renewable energy prices are to remain constant for 25 years. Expected prices 13 Cent/kWp, current price 10 Cent / kwp + green certificates Licenses are required for each additional power source producing renewable energy Project Documentation 100% ready to construct 3 land plots each Apr. 5 ha Lease contracts with the municipality Shkrel for the 3 plots Changed status of the land from land 8 category to land for the establishment of energy solar parks New status of the plots is also in the cadaster Statement of the Ministry of Environment and Water Approval in principle on the request for the connection point in the Transmission Network of OST for all photovoltaic plants Renewable Energy Regulation / Environmental potential Demand: growing, driven by political convergence to EU standards Renewables Target: 18% by 2018 Environment: significant potential for solar energy; 225 sunny days p.a.; annual standard SWH system yield of 500 650 KWh/m² p.a. Rapidly growing demand in combination with current energy deficit could drive prices up in the near future Project Documentation 100% ready to construct License from the Ministry of economy Economical Feasibility study Surveying study Geological report Solar Radiation report 1 st and 2 license, 3 license are already available Approval for the Grid Connection Point, grid connection contract Preliminary design Construction permit is available under conditions

PHOTOVOLTAIC PARK Shkel 1,2,3 - design overview Plot Schematics Connection schema
PHOTOVOLTAIC PARK Shkel 1,2,3 - Location description Description Area: The 3 solar park are situated in a plot of total 150 ha. The ground is flat with excellent ground structure for constructing solar plants Connection Point Electrical grid proximity: The park connection point is the next electrical column, which is Apr. 400m. from the plot. The closest transform station is located Apr. 4 km from the site Accessibility: A first (local nomenclature) class road is connecting the site to the near village and the 1 st class highway Road Infrastructure Substation
PHOTOVOLTAIC PARK Shkel 1-2.836 MWp Design and project planning Detailed layout of the PV-Plant The PV-Modules will be installed on substructures suitable for freestanding PV-parks. The support system is inclined 30 to the south. The inclined table holds PV modules, in an array of 5 x 9 modules in landscape (5 above each other, 9 besides each other). The total DC-Power of the plant will be 2.836 MWp. Each String is connected to a string inverter. The inverters will be connected to a transformer which is connected to the grid. Survey points and boundary points have to be installed The principal has to install the correct boundary points of the site and provide a drawing in dwg-format which contains the contour lines of the area. Static calculation of the substructure We will deliver a static calculation of the complete table according to the national annex of the Eurocode 1 of Albania and the from the provided geological research. 1 800 1 600 1 400 1 200 1 000 800 600 400 200 - Surface view Revenue ('000 ) EBITDA ('000 ) 2009A 2010A 2011A 2012A 2013E 2014P DC- / AC- installation, inverters, LOW VOLTAGE CABLES Installation of the inverters The inverters will be delivered to the park by PV Consult LTD.
