Encouraging Green Power: Cooperation between the Private Sector and Government Avi Brenmiller, May 21 2008
2
What is Solar Thermal Power? Free and secure resource, widely available and highly predictable Uses reflectors to concentrate sun’s energy and create heat Uniquely suited for answering peak demands % of power generated vs. capacity Load Wind * Solar **
4
Who is Solel? Game-changing, massive scale solutions Clean & renewable solar “fuel” for power plants One-stop solution Only commercially proven electricity-producing solar thermal technology: California SEGS Over 300 employees – world’s largest solar thermal company Building power plants in Spain and US Over $450 million in backlog in 2008 Ongoing major investments in R&D and production capacity
5
Obstacles to solar projects (and not just in Israel) Lack of any clear regulatory framework to govern the basic transactions Not clear how to acquire land to build a power plant Who would sell the electricity and who would purchase it With which entity would a potential private supplier of electricity sign a contract Need to be competitive from Day 1
6
Direct subsidy though end user’s bill, sector by sector Government revenue guarantees to producers (feed-in tariffs protected by law – average of 0.30 € KWh up to 34.5 € KWh) Local authorities support local production with grants in range of 30% with no tax on project revenues Commoditization of project financing process: package can be 90% debt/ 10% equity Commercial debt packages – up to 18 or 20 years Grid connection streamlined and divided between three agencies : production, delivery, and grid management Encouraging Green Power : Spanish Example

Solel Solution: Utility Scale Solar Fuel KJC Solar Plant in Mojave Desert with parabolic trough
8
Producing 350 MW of clean, renewable electricity Supplying the needs of half a million consumers Eliminating the need for two million barrels of oil a year The SEGS Solar Fields: Mojave Desert Solel’s technology commercially proven for over twenty years
9
Solel recently re-supplied all of the plants’ solar receivers, upgrading output by up to 30%
10
Elements of a Solar Power Plant Solar Field Power Block HTF System Balance of plant Civil works Solel’s SunField 6: Built-In Solar Fuel
11
Change the rules of the energy equation: Solel to partner with governments, utilities, and local engineering & construction companies to build solar powered power plants Solel offers an independent source of energy to every country with an independent source of sunshine Plug in Solel’s clean solar field into the power plant model – no emissions Solel’s fully engineered solar field packages fuel local job creation and economic growth Solel offer to Governments and Utilities
12
Solar Collector Assembly (SCA) Building block of the SunField 6 Solar Field Solel’s Solel 6 parabolic trough Each SCA: 224 reflector panels Each SCA: 24 UVAC 2008 receivers Local Controller (LOC) system with hydraulic drive to track the sun
13
Solel’s UVAC 2008 Vacuum Collector Unique Selective and Anti Reflective Coatings 30% More Yearly Thermal Output Highest Solar Radiation Absorption Operates at Temperatures Up To 400°c (750°f) Patented Radiation Shield System Patented Vacuum Maintenance Unit
14
Plant operating at Solel Headquarters, compact parabolic trough located on top of car park, power block in middle front. Solel Solution: On-Site Power
16
Industrial cooling and heating system installed in Trento, Italy Collectors supply hot water at 100º C, enabling operation of absorption cooling machines Solel Solution: Industrial Cooling and Heating
17
Solar Industrial Water Heating: Applications Industries Large residential Hotels & resorts Swimming pools Hospitals FACT: About 50% of utility-produced electricity is used for heating and cooling
