5. Presentation Plan 1.Overview of the energy Sector 2.Investment opportunities 3.Conclusion BME

6. 1. Overview of the energy sector Haiti energy “consumption” matrix (% TOE) hydro Haiti energy “markets” matrix (USD) Diesel (380 M) Wood-Charcoal (150 M) Wood * Most wood-fuel consumed by SMEs (Moonshine, drycleaners, bakeries) Biomass (wood & charcoal) 72% Petroleum products 25% Other petroleum fuels BME

7. The energy demand Transportation, industry and domestic consumption  380 000 tons de charcoal per year for families: a US$ 150 M market  200 000 tons of wood in the SMEs : a US$ 60 M market  130 millions gallons of diesel : a US$ 380 market 1. Overview of the energy sector BME

8. 2.1 Liquid fuels  bio-fuels (biodiesel) Progressive substitution of 45 million gallons of diesel consumed by the thermal generators in power plants. 130 million gallons of diesel consumed yearly. The telecommunications companies consume about 4% of the imported diesel. 2. Investment opportunities BME

9. 2.2 Cooking energies  Woodlots Project of creation of woodlots in unused lands  Substitution of kerosene Replacement of kerosene lamps with lighting by small PV systems in rural areas  Briquette production Production of briquettes from waste/renewable sources of biomass as substitutes for wood & charcoal 2. Investment opportunities BME

10. 2. Investment opportunities 2.1 Wind Energy Lac Azuéï 10 km from P-au-P grid; 50 MW potential wind speeds : 5 to 7 m/s. Northern Haiti Near Cap-Haitien grid; 2 MW potential wind speed : 5 to 6 m/s. The preliminary study is being executed by 3E, a Belgian firm. Feasibility studies will be undertaken next. BME

11. 2.3Solar energy  Solar panel assembly plants  Small PV rural solar projects For lighting, pumping, seafood and vaccine conservation 2. Investment opportunities BME

12. The energy market is the second largest in Haiti after the food market. There are already good examples of successful public-private partnerships in the Haitian Energy Sector, where the Government has committed to buying all the power produced for 5 to 15 years: SOGENER, HAYTRAC, E-POWER 3. Conclusions BME

13. The Government of the Republic of Haiti has also committing to the following actions :  Elaboration and submission to the vote of Parliament a bill for the creation of the enabling framework for the acceleration of the use of renewable energy and the associated technologies ;  Implementation of various forms of incentive mechanisms for the promotion of private sector investment in renewable energy (production and deployment); 3. Conclusions BME

14.  Pursuing actions related to the development of biofuels, in particular: feasibility studies, R&D and the reinforcement of Public-Private partnerships;  Carrying out a public awareness campaign for renewable energy, utilizing instruments designed to inform and motivate.

16. IDB International Business Meeting Investment in Wind Power Generation from an International Investor’s Perspective Rolando Gonzalez-Bunster International Business Meeting, Port-au-Prince, 1-2 October, 2009 BasicEnergy

17. Economic and Commercial Aspects  Country’s political situation should be stable and should present macroeconomic growth in the short term.  Payment risk needs to be minimal –Capital for these projects migrates very easily. If too much risk is perceived in a certain country and/or market, investors will identify alternate places to deploy their capital and develop similar projects where less risk is perceived. –Long Term (15-20 yr) Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs”) are a must to secure financing.  Involvement of multilateral funding is highly desirable. –Commercial financing in developing countries tends to be very short term with high interest rates which limits the possibilities to develop capital-intensive projects like wind power projects. Financing sources like IDB play a significant role in promoting these projects in developing countries. BasicEnergy

18. Site Selection  Initial site selection is a very methodical and technical exercise. –Once a site is selected, significant time and resources need to be dedicated to research its feasibility.  Wind atlases which contain macro wind measurements are not enough (these only provide general guidelines). Site-specific towers need to be erected in order to measure wind behavior for at least one (1) year.  For financing purposes, these site-specific measuring towers need to be measure wind speeds at least 2/3 rds the height of the expected hub height of the wind turbines (as high as 100+ meters). –These measurements need to be validated by independent third parties An investor will typically invest in securing the site and purchasing wind turbines once the site is validated by site-specific wind measurements BasicEnergy

19. Permitting  Too much bureaucracy hinders project development.  In countries where wind projects have not been developed, authorities are typically hesitant to fast-track permitting - this creates a barrier against developments. –Other countries are competing for these projects and are willing to have more streamlined permitting processes.  Permitting is required for financing, hence if the permitting process is not clear and streamlined, achieving financing can become challenging. A single point permitting window is highly desirable BasicEnergy

20. Technical and Construction Aspects  Available offloading ports are one of the early items that need to be identified when making an investment decision. –The lack of proper infrastructure to offload the equipment from the ships could easily eliminate the chance for a successful project.  Access to site from to the unloading point to the each of the towers’ location is also an important task that needs to be performed early on in the investment decision process. –If too much investment is required due to: 1) poor road conditions; 2) tight curves that don’t allow blade transportation; or 3) Mountainous terrain; then project feasibility can be jeopardized.  Access to grid as close to the site as possible. –A long transmission line can increase project cost significantly and threaten the project’s feasibility.  Terrain profile can influence balance of plant costs BasicEnergy

21. Carbon Credits  Although the variable costs of wind projects are minimal, the construction aspect is very capital- intensive. As such, power prices need to be high enough to repay the financing and allow for an acceptable return to the investor. Energy prices are typically not enough to allow for this.  To solve this issue, carbon credits are one of the few lifelines to make projects feasible.  The current Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) expires 2012. Difficult to predict carbon credit impact on a project’s economics post 2012.  A wind project in Haiti would displace Diesel (no. 2) generation – this is a “cleaner” fuel than Coal or Heavy Fuel Oil which results in less carbon credits than the same project could generate in other countries with a “dirtier” energy matrix.

23. Prospects for Jatropha curcas cultivation in Haiti CHIBAS International Business Meeting, Port-au-Prince, 1-2 October, 2009

24. Why Jatropha?  Haiti presently imports over twice as much diesel fuel as gasoline (ethanol is a substitute of gasoline)  Haiti heavily depends on diesel for the production of electricity  Feedstock for ethanol production would compete for the best arable land; which is limited  Ethanol would have a relatively small local market  Oil processing and production of bio-diesel is scalable  Plant oil can be used directly (for local electric power generation, mills, irrigation, and small industry)  And Jatropha is potentially a multipurpose crop (reforestation & restoration of degraded land, biodiesel, SVO, charcoal briquettes, high protein animal feed and honey) CHIBAS

25. > USD 350 M > USD 150 M > USD 60 M Energy matrix (Market) % of energy mix (market) Tons of Oil Equivalent The market for Biodiesel * Most of the wood is not sold on the market *

26.  How much land can be used to grow Jatropha ?  Expected yields ?  What are the profits from growing Jatropha ? Mapping the risks (red): Land use, environment, areas suitable for food crops, other socio-economic risks, etc… Land availability for Jatropha CHIBAS Land use map

27. Land availability for Jatropha CHIBAS A B In green In green: area where you can grow Jatropha with limiting the negative impacts. A: >800,000 ha B: >500,000 ha There is enough land to meet Haiti’s diesel market!

28. A multipurpose crop The markets for Jatropha Edible Jatropha  Oil & Biodiesel (liquid biofuels) 100 million gallons (280 M USD)  Charcoal briquettes 80,000 ton (23 M USD)  High protein animal feed 550,000 ton (165 M USD)  Honey 12,000 ton (36 M USD) Non edible Jatropha  Oil & Biodiesel (liquid biofuels) 100 million gallons (280 M USD)  Charcoal briquettes 200,000 ton (60 M USD)  Honey 12,000 ton (36 M USD) CHIBAS

29. Working with small holders Maximizing profit along the value chain  Integrate small holders to the Jatropha value chain There is an opportunity to develop a market chain integrating small holders and producers; one that is profitable to ALL the actors of the value chain (IDB market study)  “Lwil Agogo” – building strategic alliances along the value chain Profitable businesses integrating the small holders and producers CHIBAS

30. CHIBAS at the service of the local agro-industry 1.CHIBAS will be improving, releasing and promoting the use of improved Jatropha varieties as multipurpose crops (food/feed and energy); 2.CHIBAS is a technical center to serve the farmers and the agribusiness sector in getting access to the best and most adequate technology and the best agricultural practices; 3.CHIBAS realizes feasibility studies to establish plans for the formulation of project designs (or projects) and investment strategies (including a complete sustainable and profitable value market chain assessment) maximizing incomes for the farmers and the local communities.
