18 Who is HARBEC?? Custom Injection Molder 37 years old 145 people Use a lot of Energy > 3,000,000 kwh per year Always looking for ways to improve their bottom line Striving to be Socially Responsible and Sustainable 1 8

19 Fortune or Curse? Senior Management thinks wind PLUS 1 9

20 HARBEC Energy Management Opportunities 2 0

21 Turbine 1 Renewable Wind Energy 2002 Installation of 250 kw wind generator to accomplish wind/microturbine hybrid Slightly better than Class 3 wind site Average energy production is 300,000 kwh +/- 10% per year, or about 10% of the total HARBEC annual energy requirements. Displaces retail value electricity, which is $.15 per kwh Electric savings provides >$45,000/year revenue stream 8-10 year ROI on $400k project originally ROI is shortened as electric costs rise Allows us to predict (fix) 10% of our energy costs 20 to 25 years into the future $$$$$ 2 1

22 Turbine 2 Renewable Wind Energy NYSERDA ($300,000+) USDA ($700,000+) kw Gamesa wind turbine Displaces retail value electricity, which is ~$.15 per kwh $2,100,000 +/- total project Electric savings provides >$200,000/year revenue stream 6-8 year ROI on $1,100,000 project originally Likely ROI will be shortened as electric costs rise 4 finance options to pick from Leveraging Consumption = PPA Allows us to predict (fix) >50% of our energy costs 20 to 25 years into the future $$$$$ 2 2

23 Moving Toward Carbon Neutral HARBEC s FIRST 250 kw wind turbine produces about 300,000 kwh of electricity per year HARBEC s SECOND 850 kw wind turbine produces about 1.6 million kwh of electricity per year 300,000 x 1.5 lb.of CO2 = 450,000 lb. OR 225 tons of CO ,600,000 x 1.5 lb.of CO2 = 2,400,000 lb. OR 1200 tons of CO2

25 HARBEC conviction to Eco-economic Sustainable Manufacturing At HARBEC we regard Eco-economic Sustainability as absolutely critical to the future of our business, and we believe that our success in the pursuit of it, will improve our competitive advantage by insuring our efficiency.
