2 Topics 1. Introduction Industrial Solar 2. Industrial Energy Market & Challenges 3. Study Contracting Fund 4. Conclusion and Requests

3 1. Introduction Industrial Solar History Industrial Solar is a leading solution provider for energy projects with references around the world. It was founded in 2008 in the environment of the renown Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) to realize solar thermal projects based on its innovative Fresnel collector. Today Today Industrial Solar is a world leader in Fresnel projects for industrial energy supply and delivers comprehensive and customized energy solutions based on different technologies. The company has implemented projects in various countries, including South Africa, Jordan, Qatar, UAE, Germany, Spain, Italy. Mission Based on a comprehensive analysis we identify, design and implement the most economic renewable energy technology onsite

4 2. Industrial-Commercial Energy Market There is more energy consumption of heat in the industrial sector than there is electricity consumed worldwide. Despite available solutions the share of RE and EE in commercial and industrial sectors is negligible Although industry and commerce are interested to use renewable energies and financial institutions would like to finance projects often economically viable projects are not realized Big market potential but small market volume

5 2. Challenges for Stakeholder Industrial Customers Lack of capital for investment in RE / Energy Efficiency Investments restricted to core business Management with short-term targets / 2-4y ROI expectation Lack of expertise on renewable energy Solution & Technology Providers Very few financing programs available Big effort to get projects funded Financing Institutions Individual projects have too small financing volumes Lack of technical expertise for risk assessment High risk premium for single projects All stakeholders are committed but face different challenges

6 3. RE & EE Contracting Fund Study Industrial Solar is currently conducting a study where the preliminary work considers macro and micro aspects. While the macro level is focusing on countries the micro level is looking for specific projects. Stakeholders like industrial and commercial companies, local partners for installation and O&M, as well as internationally active project developers, Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) and investors are invited to propose any EE or RE project in emerging countries. Financed by Supported by
