Tolling Contract ESCo install all the required plant and equipment at its own expense and pay for all the on going O&M costs except Host would pay for fuel and imported electricity. All electricity, chilled water and LTHW supplied from the CHP plant would be provided to Host on a free of charge basis. ESCo would guarantee a net electrical output of 7.85MW ; fuel efficiency & heat output in accordance with the OEM data sheets and CHP plant availability of 92% (of 8760 hours pa). The following terms are available for a 10 year Tolling Contract: Variable Operating Charge 6.20 per MWh Monthly Standing Charge 62,430 per month PAGE 14

Recap - headline CHP Benefits reduction in annual cost of utilities e.g. CCL avoidance, reduced DUoS, TNUoS and RO; primary energy savings of >10%; carbon savings of c 600-900 tonnes pa/mw; and improved CRC position. PAGE 16
CRC - introduction Why CRC? the UK is committed to a reduction of at least 80% from 1990 levels by 2050 the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme (CRC) has been designed to focus UK business on this goal; and ensures UK compliance with the EU Energy Services Directive CRC is effectively CO 2 emissions trading scheme for installations outside CCA s and EUETS starting April 2010 Threshold: half hourly meters, electricity consumption more than 6,000MWh per year e.g: Large firms in the service sector: super-markets, retailers, banks, hotels, local authorities Around 20,000 organisations will be affected by CRC and c.5,000 will be full participants PAGE 17
CRC and CHP benefits CRC sites will have to buy carbon for all imported electricity and fuel (if not in EU-ETS). CHP will reduce the CRC liability... key considerations: - All electricity will have the same carbon emission factor as that from power stations; - exported electricity from GQCHP will receive carbon credits (using the same carbon factor); and - exported heat from GQCHP is zero carbon rated.. opportunities for heat export PAGE 18

Reform of CCL and creation of CPS through its Electricity Market Reforms the Government is committed to introducing support for carbon price support (CPS) through reform of CCL (starting from 2013) key proposals: CHP no longer exempt from CCL on fuel inputs, but will be exposed to new rate of CCL derived from CPS heat portion of the fuel input will not be exempted from CPS tax; and an existing exemption in the climate change levy for electricity for CHP plants supplying indirectly to an energy consumer is to be removed in order that CHP remains at least neutral to CPS HMT reviewing various options (incl. reducing the CPS tax paid by CHP) update awaited. PAGE 20
CHP opportunities and the future CHP represents one of the lowest cost of carbon abatement and is a well established technology and will therefore be a highly effective measure for example reducing CRC liabilities; in its Carbon Reduction Strategy, the NHS Sustainable Development Unit (SDU) states that CHP offers the health service the biggest carbon dioxide saving potential; opportunity to match fund community district heating projects through CERT and CESP (and going forward ECO); CHPA lobbying for possible feed-in-tariff for small scale CHP PAGE 21
