19 Agenda Athens Airport Photovoltaic Park Athens Airport Case Challenges Future perspective

20 Athens Airport at a glance 24/7 operation ~300 companies ~14k employees >24m PAX-2018 >1m Visitors Land plot ~155k m2 Electricity consumption demand Total Airport <110 GWh/yr Airport Company ~58 GWh/yr

21 Athens Airport Photovoltaic Park (PVP) D&B Agreement of 8.05MWp PV Park ~ 19m Nov 2010 Jul 2011 Main Components ~29k solar panels, 12 inverters & >270km cabling purpose design on-line monitoring system Production over time: ~13GWh/ yr +17% vs targeted O&M Agreement of 8.05MWp PV Park Jul 2011 Jul 2026 Annual Fee 150k Reward/ Penalty upon Minimum Annual Yield Guarantee Over electricity demand: 25% of AIA 13% of Total Airport Jul 2017 Amendment (based on right to terminate) Annual Fee -5% Reward/ Penalty scheme Cancellation

22 Challenges Legal Constrains National Legislation Electricity Market Airport s Environmental Permit Airport s Operations & Location Master Plan Update Solar Panels reflectiveness Obstacle assessment ILS interference Extreme weather conditions (strong winds & hail) Bird roosting Financial viability Investment Cost Operating Cost Energy cost savings or Energy sales revenue Usufruct time-limitation Energy Selling Price (FiT) ,70 /MWh as of 2012 negative adjustments to restrain the increasing RES account deficit 2014 & onwards 300 /MWh

23 Future Perspective Potential extension of PVP Sustainable Development Elimination of Carbon Footprint Sound Investment Usufruct time-limitation Investment cost Operating Cost & Savings Carbon Neutral ZERO Carbon

32 How multi-technology PPA structures could help companies reduce risk Scope: variable generation technologies (solar & wind) Focus: imbalance, profile & volume risk Analysis: viability as risk mitigation tool? To access our paper, visit wbcsd.org -> REscale -> Resources

33 Duration curves of residual demand with solar PV, wind, and solar PV & wind combined Indicative data

34 Combining multiple technologies with variable generation profiles can reduce imbalance, shape and volume risk The extent to which multiple technologies can do so is highly dependent on specific factors (check our paper!) Is the expected risk reduction sufficient to alter existing approaches to risk management? Does it underpin discussions on reduced risk management fees? Would other technology combinations be a better fit for your requirements? Biomass, hydro, storage?
