2 Utility-Scale Experience DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS Working with utilities, project owners, and developers, RES Canada provides a variety of solutions to meet their renewable energy, transmission, and energy storage needs. Significant RES Canada achievements include: Selection by Hydro-Quebec for 1054MW of projects in two tenders (2008, 2010), where RES acted as the developer and construction partner within the St. Laurent Energies consortium. Selection by the Ontario Power Authority for two 99MW projects under its RES III Request for Proposals. RES Canada developed, constructed, and operated both wind farms, which became operational in Completion of the first 10MW solar project under the Ontario FIT program and the further construction of 70MW of utility-scale solar in Ontario. Construction of the largest wind farm in Ontario, the 270MW South Kent facility in the municipality of Chatham-Kent. Construction of 4MW (8MW range)/2.6mwh lithium battery system in This provides frequency regulation to the IESO system in the province of Ontario.

3 110MW Keechi Wind Project Microsoft 20-year PPA Delivering Green Energy Solutions WIND SOLAR TRANSMISSION STORAGE Since 2003, (RES Canada) and our American affiliate RES Americas have delivered wind, solar, transmission, and energy storage projects across North America. We understand that clients want clean, green, reliable power at a competitive price, as well as flexibility in deal structure. We offer fully developed projects for clients interested in buying green power or storage services. RES Canada also offers construction and development services. To meet client needs, RES executes projects using traditional power purchase agreements (PPAs), contract for difference (CFD) financial settlement agreements, build-own-transfer structures, and joint venture partnerships. We work with a number of Crown corporation power utilities and independent power producers, and are able to secure investment for long-term ownership of projects with PPAs and CFDs. Working with Commercial, Industrial, and Utility Clients RES has traditionally worked with many investor or Crown-owned utilities. In today s evolving energy landscape, RES now also works with commercial and industrial clients directly to deliver their green energy needs. RES helps them reduce their carbon footprint in their operations while hedging against increases in fuel prices. Some of our clients include: Austin Energy Enbridge Inc. Hydro-Québec Distribution Microsoft Corporation Oklahoma Gas & Electric Ontario Power Authority PacifiCorp Pattern Energy Portland General Electric Puget Sound Energy Westar Energy The Keechi Wind Project, developed and constructed by RES Americas and owned by Enbridge, will sell 110MW to Microsoft.

4 Experience in Green Energy Development and Construction RES has constructed more than 7,000 megawatts (MW) of green energy and energy storage projects in North America. This includes more than 3,300MW of RES-developed wind energy projects that are currently operational, as well as several wind and solar third-party construction projects. RES solar construction portfolio includes eight 10MW solar projects in Ontario, Canada; 71MW of solar in Texas; and a 200MW solar PV project in Nevada expected to start construction in 2015, pending approval. Transmission and energy storage both allow for increased penetration of green energy, and RES is active in both areas. RES completed construction of the 214-mile Montana-Alberta Tie Line and currently operates two battery storage projects: one 4MW / 2.6MWh battery project in Ohio and one 4MW / 2.6MWh battery project in Ontario, Canada.

Our affiliate, RES Chile, has an office in Santiago, Chile and is active in the utility-scale wind and solar markets. Our parent company, Renewable Energy Systems Limited (RES Ltd.), has been designing and building wind projects in the United Kingdom since RES Ltd. was founded by the Sir Robert McAlpine Group, a family-owned firm with more than 145 years of experience constructing major infrastructure projects, including the 2012 London Olympic stadium. RES Ltd. now develops and constructs renewable energy projects across Europe as well as in South Africa, Turkey, Japan, and Australia. 300 Léo-Pariseau Suite 2516 Montréal, Québec, H2X 4B3, Canada InfoCanada@ 2014 V092314

Renewable Energy Systems 10MW Demorestville Solar Project RES has developed a 200MW solar PV array on the Moapa River Reservation. For more details, please see on back.

6 200MW RES Developed Solar Project - Americas The RES developed 200MWac solar photovoltaic (PV) project is located on the Moapa Band of Paiutes Moapa River Reservation in Clark County, Nevada. In 2013, the Department of the Interior placed this project on its priority list and in May 2014, the project received its Record of Decision from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. When under construction, the project will create up to 1,200 temporary construction jobs and approximately 10 permanent positions. Once completed the solar PV array will generate enough electricity to power up to 30,000 homes. Engineering for Desert PV Projects Utility-scale renewable energy projects in arid climates require additional engineering considerations and site investigations that may include: High wind loads on racking systems Geotechnical studies Foundation design for soil erosion Hydrology Inverter cooling system selection 100-year flood reports Dust mitigation & access to water Storm water runoff studies PV plant layout to accommodate storm water runoff Pile pull tests to confirm design Partnerships RES is honored to have partnered with the Moapa Band of Paiutes over the past four years on the development of the 200MW RES developed solar project. In addition to the Tribe, RES has worked closely with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Land Management throughout the National Environmental Policy Act process to ensure that the project is developed, constructed, and operated in an environmentally responsible manner. RES looks forward to continued relationships with the Tribe, as well as the Agencies, once the construction phase of the project begins.
